My late husband was a collector of watches and towards the end of his life he wasn't able to do anything because he was bedridden. He used to like to surf the Internet and picked out a watch that he wanted for Christmas that I bought him and unfortunately he only wore a few times.View attachment 126084
I was never into the G Shock watches until now. These tactical, survive anything watches I’m really digging since I never know where I’ll be or what the environment is. Smart move as I head through my 50s…
Before he was bedridden he bought another watch in a retail store when he was able to walk. After he died I told the sad story to the manager and she was kind enough to allow me to return it given the circumstances. The two watches that he did buy we're not cheap they were hundreds of dollars.
Then there was another watch that my son bought his dad 9 days before he died for his 69th birthday that I gave back to my son for a keepsake.
And the third watch was the one he picked out on the internet and it was his last Christmas gift that I had bought and wrapped for him and he only wore it a few times in bed, then a couple years after he died I finally got the courage to sell it without being emotionally attached to it.
I still have many of his watches that he wore during our life together that he bought many years ago and will now be passed down to my son and grandsons.
