My Watch Collection

Not many people get to see my watch collection, due to my reclusive nature. But it's fun to catalog them so that's what I'm doing here. I also hope this will stop me from becoming the lady with a thousand watches.

Casio LW204-1A/4A (Primary Watch)

I liked the white one so much I picked up the black one used when I got a chance. I had an elastic band that suited the black face perfectly (IMO) for sleep and for working out, and got a replacement white leather band for the white face which is nice for a business casual office outfit.

I love the features, so much so that it’s hard to imagine getting by with a digital watch that didn’t have as many. Apparently most cheap Casio digital watches don’t have a repeating countdown timer and I use mine all the time: I time my children’s medications, I use it at the gym, I use it for cooking, I use it to give my daughter five more minutes at the park. Phenomenally useful.

It also has a regular alarm and a stopwatch, which is also handy at the gym and I also use it to track things like how much time I spend doing chores around the house or how much time my kids spend outside throughout the day (and work on getting those numbers up!).

I don’t love the strap it came with which is why I replaced them both but I just don’t find resin straps very comfortable I don’t think. It’s also a little long and skinny and looks a little weird on me. I still saved them since they’re totally fine, I might use them for something else.

This is not a practical watch, I find the negative display hard to read and the controls are a lot less intuitive than my regular watch. That said, I think it looks so neat and wear it just for fun! However only if I know I'm gonna be home before dark because there is no back light.
