Memories

I was just curious, and I started looking around to see if I could find my first analog quartz watch. Turns out, not only did I find it, Casio STILL MAKES IT!

It looks darn near identical to a watch I wore for years. The lug design looks a little different, but the face, hands, and band looks very similar. It’s a Casio MQ247B (there is a a MQ247B2 as well, retro font for the numerals) which goes for a whole $8.50 on Amazon.
I am tempted to add it to my collection for sentimental reasons. I still remember the smell of the band when it gets sweaty. A gross memory, but a memory nonetheless.

This was the watch I pestered Mom and Dad about years ago when we were on vacation in the Smokies. It’s a cheap watch, but it was still the first.  I hated digital watches back then and I still don’t like them at all now.
