Topic: I got a starter wristwatch
Anonymous A started this discussion 2 years ago #116,131
It’s the first one I’ve had since I was a kid. I’ve always heard that a man should wear a watch but never followed it until something clicked the other day so I did a little bit of research and decided to go with a Timex. The strap is just shitty genuine leather, but I plan to upgrade and get a full grain leather strap.
Thoughts?

Does the strap have a nice smell to it?

When I get a full-grain leather one it will. I think the sweat will develop a unique patina.

Yes change out the strap. A good choice for a first one.

Looks like an old men gramps watch.
Get a smartwatch and new clothes.
This jacket is good for the trash can only.

The jacket was nice until I got into a car wreck and the airbag ruined the left sleeve. It’s a Columbia jacket. Spring is coming so I won’t need a jacket until next winter, but I plan to replace it.
Fuck smartwatches btw.

Must've been one hell of a car wreck to have turned a nice jacket into whatever cheap fleece shit you're wearing. In my house we don't wear plastic as clothing.

I recommend upping your budget.
It looks like wherever you are isn't that cold since you're wearing plastic-ware, so maybe you're fine sticking with cotton. I personally always prefer 100% wool either merino, cashmere, angora, or baby alpaca. They deal with moisture well and are a lot better at being comfortable in a much wider range of temperatures.
Maybe look around thrift stores or on Ebay. You'll eventually be able to find something used for under $100 if you're persistent.
I would focus on this before fixing whatever trash that you've strapped to your wrist.

This has been a relatively mild winter. We've only had one snow and it's usually in the 30-50F range. I don't need a heavy, multiple-hundred dollar jacket. I like my fleece Columbia jacket, and I like my Timex watch as well.

As I said, you can probably find what I've described for under $100 if you look. But whatever, enjoy wearing trash. Your jacket literally looks like it was pulled from a dumpster, in more ways than one because I fully expect the tag on it says "made from 100% recycled plastic microfibers".

Then why did you asked for "thoughts"?
