WATCH this. (Hey, you know I like puns.)

I don't know why, but I've always just had one watch at a time. That really doesn't make sense, if you think about it. I don't have one set of clothes, or one pair of shoes, or just one tie. I have different clothing and different shoes depending on what I'm doing and what I'm wearing. I have ties to wear with button-up shirts, for example, and I'd never wear a tie with a sweatshirt. (Not again, anyway. It doesn't go over well at the Supreme Court, even if the sweatshirt IS a UC-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs sweatshirt.)

I have shoes to wear that match outfits, brown and black. I have tennis shoes and sandals depending on where I'm going.

But just the one watch, which I wear or don't wear. If I'm dressed down, my watch doesn't get worn, as it's a fancy-looking, kind of formal deal. Then again, it's a Buffalo Bills' watch, so if something's really formal, I may not wear it, either.

But I always NEED a watch, whether I'm jogging or driving to the mall or in court, and so the solution that I've come up with is this: Have more than one watch. Have a couple of watches and wear them as is appropriate.

I've come up with that solution not just because it makes perfect sense (as everything I say does) but also because I want one of the the Seiko kinetic Men's watches for sale at Blue Dial.com. These are watches that self-wind and look great and have all kinds of gadgets and doohickeys and features, including warranties and scratch-resistance, to name a few.

And I want Sweetie to get me one of them for Valentine's Day, but I'm sure that PRIOR to my theory here, she'd say "You have a watch already," and that'd be it. So instead of deliberately destroying my old watch (in, say, a tragic train accident), I can adjust society's expectations of what is or is not right by saying "Men should own more than one watch, for various occasions," and then go back to Sweetie and get her to get me that watch.

After all, watches like, say, the "Streamline:"


Are watches that have a unique kind of style, futuristic and fun and stylish all at the same time, like a watch Captain Kirk might wear - -and they're gifts that stand the test of time.

Look, the headline warned you. I like puns. And watches. Sweetie, take note. The rest of you guys, go tell your own sweeties about the multiwatch paradigm. (Yes, that's what I'm calling it. It has to sound official.)
