I love this watch.

I love that I don't even know it's on. And that I can bang it to shit against the walls. I wear it in the sauna. And the shower. And to sleep. It keeps great time.

My kids love it, too. Sticking it in an orifice of their choosing and inevitably leaving it on a pile of rocks buried in dirt. No worries here.

The pale green backlight that turns off too soon and barely works gets the job done, nicely. It's boxy retro-futuristic design is cool as hell. It beeps every day at 16:20 around mixed company. That’s always good for a laugh.

This watch cost me 19 bucks. It's one of my favorite possessions. Sure, the ten-year battery will die someday, but who's counting.
