We’ll start with watches. Sure, I’d like to sport an incomprehensible Tokyoflash technoabomination<\/a> or even a Dick Tracy-esque LG watchphone<\/a>. (And seriously, I’d like one of each, especially a slick watch phone.) <\/p>\n

When it comes down to it, watches are probably redundant in daily life. I mean every Tom, Dick and iPod has some way of telling time on it. <\/p>\n

However, I just can’t help but look at my wrist when I want to know — or indicate — the time, which gets awkward when I am not actually wearing a watch. For simplicity’s sake, nothing beats the Timex Expedition <\/a>line, either the “classic analog,” which I prefer, or the “essential digital,” if you find you need to time yourself or something. They’re cheap enough to replace once you’ve banged the hell out of it. They come in a variety of styles, and, if you can get one with Indiglo, you can signal rescue rangers in the dark. <\/p>\n

True story…I remember sitting around Pod<\/a> with two men much my senior in terms of age and station. They both sported Rolexes and as they discussed their watches, I caught one stealing a glance at my Timex expedition. <\/p>\n

“Yeah,” I said, holding my wrist out. “Jealousy is a normal reaction.”
\n\"Nice
\nThis one<\/a> is the closest to what I have now, except mine is black. I certainly didn’t pay $70. You should be able to do better at Target. <\/p>\n
