I Just Ordered Myself A New Watch! What Do You Think Of It?  | | In an earlier discussion I mentioned how my wonderful old watch died on me, after 11 great years of service. I'm now relying on the clock inside my cellphone. I got an e-mail from Airmiles.ca telling me that I could get 5x the Airmiles if i ordered something on line by July 31st. What the heck. I decided to go to Sears.ca and find a watch. I found a really nice one!! I'll psste a picture in this discussion. it's actually a mens watch, but I really can't find ladies watches that I can actually SEE!!! Ladies watches just aren't practical, the way they make them. Why do watches have to be "genered" anyway?

hey - great going getting those extra miles!

danishcanadian (20676) | 5 months ago | Most ladies are dainty, or most ladies watches are dainty? I know very few dainty ladies.

ElicBxn (15508) | 5 months ago | ladies' watches are dainty - now, I'm rather dainty in size, short ya know, but I'm like a disaster when it comes to stuff, I tear clothes, I ruin my jewelry - and I know I make them good, so its not faulty workmanship...

| | 2. polachicago (7886) | 6 months ago | Nice watch. I have at least 12 watches at home, and I am not wearing any...because none is working. I have 3 modern and the rest are vintage...I have to sell them all, because I no longer need them...

danishcanadian (20676) | 5 months ago | If you lived near me, I'd rent one of them, and put a new battery in it to use, till mine arrived!:)

| | 4. scarlet_woman (9029) | 6 months ago | pretty:)
i guess they figure women wouldn't want a bigger watch. my mom had one with a face that wasn't much larger than a nickel.i wondered how she could see that thing.
| |
| |
|
|
danishcanadian (20676) | 5 months ago | What they need to say is "large face, small face" not give it a gender. The bigger the watch, the better! And nothing fancy on it. No decorations, they just make it harder to read.

| | 5. idowrite72 (1604) | 6 months ago | Sometimes if you go to unusual places.....clothing stores or small FUN jewelry stores and not the big name ones, you can find "fun" watches that have the bigger faces on them that are easier to see and could be colorful and/or fashionable besides. But glad that you find one that works for you.
| |
| |
|
|
danishcanadian (20676) | 5 months ago | That's true, but right now I don't have the patience or the money to look at anything fashionable. LOL Also, a nice dark strap goes with everything, and fancy and fashionable, I've found, are code words for "illegible clock face." LOL:)

| | 6. arkaf61 (5728) | 6 months ago | I like it:) When i could wear a watch I used to like those small ones with tiny numbers and all. My mom used to laugh at me and ask me if I could really read the numbers to know what time it was. But I really did. Now I guess i would have trouble even seeing the watch LOL Your choice is a good one, and the watch looks great:)

danishcanadian (20676) | 5 months ago | LOL you're too funny, and one of my favourite people for appreciating the fact that I don't do those stupid stereotypical things. there's a reason why you, my, and the other two get along so well.:) As for my husband, he knows better than to crap on me in 9 years. He knows when someone dies, and I'm depressed, I get out of town for a while to recoup.
When Mormor died, I had a nice long vacation in Toronto When Morfar died, I headed to AZ for a while.
IF my husband ever checks out, I'm going to take a nice long vacation in Croatia, or some place where people don't speak English, and my family cna't find me without obtaining a Visa first.
And Hubby knows what I like about Croatia (guys with nice thick accents!!! LOL) so he knows well enough to stay around FOREVER!!!!*grin* He says if I want to go to Croatia, he'll need to come along to chaperone.:):):):):)

| | 9. GardenGerty (20457) | 5 months ago | I have always preferred men's watches, as the bands are bigger and fit my wrists. I have a nice one that showed up in the front yard a few years back, laying under the bushes. I like to buy stuff when it earns me stuff. It is a win win deal.

|
danishcanadian (20676) | 5 months ago | What an awsome way to get a new watch. I hope I find one under the flowers in my front yard. Does it still work?
| |
|
|
GardenGerty (20457) | 5 months ago | It is a Citizen watch (very good brand). I have worn it about three years. The date gets to be wrong, but everything else is fine. I have had other things show up, just before I was ready to buy them, and I tell people that God likes to send me what I need. It is a good reminder that I will be provided for.

| | 10. gitfiddleplayer (5475) | 5 months ago | Glad you found something you like. I am not sure why they gender watches, I think its because a man watch says something about him like a timepiece did back in the day. Watches for men have always been big, Grandfather clocks are huge, Big Ben is named after a guy too. I think ladies see watches an accessory and guys see them as a statement. At least that is what the retailers think.
