Swatch Faux Fox SUOB709

Passed by the Swatch shop and after considering the Sistem51, decided instead for this one..the 'Faux Fox' model SUOB709. Paid Full Retail $70.  While online you can get it for $15-20 less, the savings is marginal. I rather like it and fills a niche between a classic analog dial automatic and a rugged G-Shock digital. - Something to wear and not worry.  Just a casual and comfortable watch.  Sadly, no water resistance so nowhere near the pool or water. I did want something more vibrant and bright, but after trying on various models...the more subdued, classic look just fits me better.  Can't argue with that.

Watch Collection - June 2015

Figure I do a roundup of my modest watch collection. My 3 and 3's. In no particular order: 1.  Rolex Explorer 114270 2.  Omega Seamaster 2531.80 3.  Seiko SSB003 - Quartz 4.  Casio GLX-5600-7 5.  Casio GLX-5600-4 6.  Casio DW-6900-1 I'm comfortable with what I have.  Sure more is great, but I've plenty of options and usually end up wearing one Automatic for most of the week and change up with a G-Shock when outdoors or doing some physical work. Recently took the white G-Shock to the beach and got it blasted by the sand and waves.  No problem. A dress watch might make it complete and the Nomos Tangente is the contender at the moment. To add some color, a quirky and colorful Swatch or a Casio F91WC has crossed my mind.  Although a 5600 in a bright color would do it too, I kinda wanna try something else.  Something light and carefree.
