So I was looking at my previous blog and I realized that I hadn’t posted anything since New Years. Now, my life is interesting enough that I have several things I can talk about. And I plan to. One day. But right now I don’t want to talk about my life right now, I want to talk about watches.
That’s right, watches. As in wrist watches. That tell time and everything.
Now there’s two million, five hundred, and eighty seven different things I can say about watches, but I’m only going to focus on a few of them.
The first one being the price of watches. I’m not positive how much watches cost nowadays (and I’m talking full-blown heavy, men’s watches. Not little kid’s digital ones with Mickey Mouse eating the numbers) but I imagine they’re not cheap. One thing I did notice whilst I was out shopping, was that the less the watch had on it, the more it cost.
And what I mean by that is digital watches are the cheapest, then watches with numbers, roman numerals, dashes/dots, and finally nothing. Seriously there was a 500 dollar watch which had nothing but the hands on it. I do have several theories as to why this may be–to show intelligence maybe? Or sophistication? Who knows, but it seems kind of dumb to me.
Another thing about watches is something I saw on a TV show once. The guy was an optical illusionist (0r something along those lines…) and he went up to random people who were wearing watches (similar to those mentioned above) and asked them to cover their watches with one hand. Then he asked them things like “does your watch have numbers or dashes?” or “does your watch have a second hand?” The interesting thing was that for the most part, people had no idea. Something they look at everyday and they couldn’t describe it. Just an interesting tidbit for you.
The last thing I’m going to say about watches before moving on to things more relevant in life (like my homework) is that watches are pretty much replaced. Everyone just uses their phones now anyways, there isn’t hardly a need for watches. This basically means that everything else I have talked about thus far is absolutely fruitless and is nothing more than rambling that will amount to nothing in the future…
