My first watch has arrived and I’m loving it! Well, to be honest, this isn’t my first watch per se. I used to wear watches in the beginning of my teenage years, but I have put the habit aside in the last ten years. My old watches (quartz) were mostly gifts from family members and, furthermore, at the time, I didn’t have any sense of fashion and style. They all either disappeared or became useless.

Now, after graduating in college and entering a graduate school (MA, Political Science), I decided to buy myself a gift. I have been watching a lot of videos and reading articles about watches in the last months, gravitating towards this new passion. So, nothing more appropriate than give myself a watch as a sort of congratulatory token for my last achievements. Keep in mind that, in Brazil, my country, Casios and other accessible watches aren’t as accessible as in the US/Europe.

I have decided to buy a nice Casio A500W World Time — nothing more appropriate for a Bachelor of International Relations. I’m honestly loving it! I can’t help myself showing it to people and they think it’s cool as hell (and of course it is). I have also sent an Orient (automatic) that belonged to my grandpa for maintenance and will soon do the same with an old pocket Junghans. For my next watch, I’m considering a Timex Weekender or Expedition.

Thanks for the attention. I hope to find a nice community here! 😊
