Arnie tended to our garden and helped us with any odd jobs that come up with maintaining a large house with a sprawling yard. He came in once a week every Friday and I’ve never known him to be late for work in all these years. Today however, was different – he walked in an hour late. His old watch was running slow again and he didn’t realise it until he left for work. Perhaps it was time for a new watch, he said. I promised to get him a new one.
Online shopping is such a convenient option now, you get to compare, select and buy stuff without stepping out of your home. And the best part about online shopping is that the products are much cheaper online than at a regular store. Also, you have a wide range to choose from within different price points to suit different budgets. I was quite confident of finding a nice wrist watch for Arnie, nothing very expensive, but one that would suit his preference.
After going through a few webstores selling timepieces, the Nixon Porter A1058-1113-00 Analog Quartz Men’s Watch seemed like a good choice. It is a simple, extremely basic watch with no extra complications to clutter the dial. Just a three-handed white dial watch with simple hour markers to match the stainless-steel case along with imprinted minute markers. There are no other trappings on the dial to mar the clean and neat look of the Nixon Porter A1058-1113-00.
The brown leather strap is just right to go well with the white and silver watch face. It emphasizes this elegant timepiece. The Nixon Porter A1058-1113-00 Men’s watch is an everyday watch, though it could be worn for formal occasions as well.
Although the Nixon brand makes fashion watches designed keeping in mind the lifestyle of the youth, this one had a complete traditional look, giving off a classic feel. The Nixon Porter Analog Quartz Men’s watch typically presented an old-world charm with its simplistic design. It seemed perfect for a senior gentleman with simple tastes. Arnie is a simple man, I’m sure this simple but elegant timepiece from the Nixon brand would appeal to him.
City Watches, https://www.citywatches.ca/ the Canadian web store offered a good collection of Nixon watches, most of which had simple designs. The prices were extremely reasonable with considerable discounts. The Nixon Porter Men’s Watch was pegged at CDN $126, which was a little higher than I anticipated. But that is expected, since it is a fashion brand and we do pay a price to buy into their name and fame…
Making a long story short, I went ahead and purchased the Nixon Porter A1058-1113-00 Analog Quartz Men’s Watch for Arnie from here: https://www.citywatches.ca/product/nixon-porter-a1058-1113-00-analog-quartz-mens-watch/ I’m excited to see Arnie’s reaction when it arrives in a few days’ time.
