Bonus Watch

I received a new briefcase/laptop case in the mail today (on clearance from Eddie Bauer) and while I was checking it out I discovered this watch inside. I thought maybe it fell off of someone's wrist, but the metal band was latched, so it didn't get in there that way. So I really have no idea how it got in there but, well, there it is.

It's a Nixon "The Player" watch and I have to say, it's one of the ugliest pieces-of-crap I've ever seen. The general styling just ain't my, um, style. Throw in the plaid face and it just makes that much worse. There's no way I'd wear that thing... it's not just the ugly but the fact that it's also kind of scuzzy with some other guy's wrist sweat.

I do feel bad for whoever lost this thing. According to the Nixon website, it has an MSRP of about $160 so someone paid good money to have this thing pollute his wrist. I guess i'll just give it to the Goodwill.

The thing doesn't look that bad on the manufacturer's website. For some odd reason, they don't offer the fine plaid face anymore...
