The Weekender

I found this while walking around in Urban Outfitters for only $9.99. I had to ask two salesgirls if that's the right price, finally asking if there's something wrong with it. They told me that some watches are sold online only and when customers bring it in to the store to return/exchange, they sell it off for a cheaper price. In this case, a whole lot cheaper. Timex usually sells for around the $60 (after tax) mark and goes upwards from there price-wise, so I grabbed this without much thought. I have wanted a big/heavy watch for a couple of years now, but hesitated to buy whenever I see one because the ones I've seen are too bling-bling, and I can't justify spending on a watch at the moment, especially when I have three already. 

Before you gasp, the first watch I own was a gift from my dad four years ago, another was $10 from Target, and the last one was $7 from a flea market. Also, they are not 'big watches'. They all have slim bracelets and are very ladylike. So this is where the Timex Weekender comes in. I try to hold off spending whenever I can, until I see a really good deal like this one. I like the metal bracelet since I don't need to worry about getting it wet unlike leather straps. This watch is really one of the best things I've bought that's actually worth it in a long time. I have to say, I seem to find some of the best things when I'm not looking for it, Jesus included.
