You know what?!?  I have to confess that while I get the general ways women differ from men, I really don’t understand their kinds of general mindset.  It was like that with my wife and every woman I’ve ever known with me life.  They make perilous sacrifices in the name of beauty and what they buy baffles me.

No finer case has exemplified this for me than in my wife’s taste in watches.  She doesn’t care about water resistance, nor anti-magnetism, nor any of the stuff that a normal human being cares about with their watch.  All she cares about is how a watch looks.  A year ago I got her a Movado Esperanza and she never wore it.  Soon after that i got her an Omega ladies diver and it sits in a cabinet collecting dust.  What seems to float her boat with watches is how good it looks with what kind of outfit.  She has more watches than me even…

Who cares about how small the hands are or the fact that you can’t see it at night.  As long as it looks good right?

To be honest with you though, I think that her latest pick is quite nice:

Citizen’s Eco Drive – EW9215-01E Ladies Watch

Unlike her spangly shiny watches that look as though they were made from pieces of a shattered disco ball, this one is clean and functional.  I like how there are vertical lines on the dial look and the fact that it’s an eco-drive means that I will never have to change a battery for this ever.

What can I say, I’m completely sold!
