Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Timex watch, the “seconde seconde” one. Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, even if I ain’t no fancy watch expert or nothin’.
What’s all the fuss about?
First off, they say Timex watches are tough as nails. And cheap too! That’s good, ’cause who wants a watch that breaks the bank and then breaks down after a week? I remember my old man had a Timex, wore it every day plowin’ the fields and whatnot. That thing lasted forever, just needed a new battery now and then. So yeah, Timex, they make sturdy watches, that’s for sure. But these watch collector fellas, they’re always squawkin’ about somethin’. They say Timex ain’t “creative” enough. Whatever that means.
Now, this “seconde seconde” fella, Romaric somethin’-or-other, he’s different. He takes these Timex watches and messes with ’em. Puts little pictures and words on ’em, changes the hands. Makes ’em kinda… goofy, I guess you could say. But folks seem to like it. They say he’s puttin’ “art” into watches. Beats me.
Are Timex watches any good, you ask?
Well, like I said, they last a good long while. And they don’t cost an arm and a leg. You ain’t gonna impress nobody with a fancy name, but you’ll have a watch that tells the time and keeps on tickin’. That’s more than you can say for some of them highfalutin’ watches that cost more than my tractor! They say a Timex can last you ten years or more if you take care of it. Just gotta change the battery now and again.
- Tough as old boots: Timex watches can take a beatin’.
- Cheap as chips: You ain’t gotta be a millionaire to own one.
- Lasts a long time: These things keep on tickin’ for years.
- Not fancy, but reliable: It ain’t gonna win you no beauty contests, but it’ll tell you the time.
Now, these “seconde seconde” Timex watches, they’re kinda different. They got these little pictures and words on ’em. Some folks think it’s clever, some think it’s silly. Me? I don’t know what to think. But I guess if it makes people happy, then it’s alright. It ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
Mechanical watches versus Timex watches
Them watch collectors, they go on and on about “mechanical” watches. Says they’re better somehow. But from what I hear, them mechanical watches, they ain’t as accurate as a Timex. And you gotta wind ’em up all the time. Who’s got time for that? I got chores to do! I need a watch that I can just put on and forget about. A Timex does the job just fine. You don’t need to be futzing around with it all the time.
So, what’s the bottom line?
If you want a watch that’s tough, affordable, and reliable, then a Timex is a good choice. It ain’t fancy, but it gets the job done. And if you want somethin’ a little different, somethin’ a little… quirky, then maybe you’ll like this “seconde seconde” thing. Me? I’ll stick with my old Timex. It’s been good to me all these years.
Timex: A watch for regular folks. That’s what I say. You don’t need no fancy degrees or a big bank account to own a Timex. It’s a watch for people who work hard and need somethin’ they can depend on. And that’s good enough for me.
Folks keep talkin’ about the history and the “design contributions” and all that, but honestly, I don’t care much about that stuff. I just want a watch that works. And a Timex works. Plain and simple.
And this “seconde seconde” fellow, he’s takin’ these plain Timex watches and addin’ a little somethin’ extra. Maybe it’s art, maybe it’s just plain silliness, but folks seem to like it. So, that’s gotta count for somethin’, I reckon.
Timex watches: Affordable and functional. That’s the long and short of it. And if you like a little bit of fun with your function, then this “seconde seconde” style might be right up your alley. If not, well, a regular Timex will do you just fine. It ain’t gonna let you down. Take it from an old gal who’s seen a thing or two in her time.
