Just today I was thinking again about how I wanted to find a watch that would make me happy. I have felt all my life that watches are unfortunate devices which shackle us to schedules, Time, work, etc. But since I'll be graduating and starting a job soon, there may be some semi-legitimate use for one. Checking cell phones for the time isn't ideal, though it generally suffices.

I traditionally gravitate towards nice analog watches and nothing else, the slimmer and less outrageous the better. If I were to buy something else, I might consider something zanier - like a watch that only told me the cycle of the moon - but I'm not sure what kind of statement I want to make. I find myself therefore caught in between two worlds of watch-wearing...
