G'day all,
When i was 8 my dad picked me up from school one day. This was quite uncommon as he worked stupidly hard 10 hours a day, six days a week on his own business.
On this day he picks me up from school he has this big smile on his face and can't wait to get in the car to show me what he has bought for me...
He bought me this lovely digital watch....silver with a blue face around the LCD..it even had a light in it that i used in bed after everybody had gone to sleep!
I know, iknow, it was prob some dodgy cheapo watch, but my dad had done it for ME...
Ever since then, I have loved watches, and this love of watches was something that he and i shared until the day he died ( he had a lovely Omega Constellation for
years... Its a shame...don't know where that went to...)....
Now my son has just turned 8 and i would love to do the same for him...but what do you recommend ? I think a Casio G shock would be good but they are all too big (he has very small wrist...even compared to boys his age), and all the small Casio's are 'Baby G's'.......and well he's not a baby....or a girl(which the baby g's are marketed for)....so they are out...
Any other recommendations? Remember its got to be sturdy and not too dear....
So any thoughts for my little best mate?
Cheers
Winno
