Item: Wired by Seiko Chronograph (Navy/Silver)
Description: I remember when I worked for my previous company, one of the stipulations which I overlooked the importance of at the time was that each teacher was required to have some sort of watch.  At first I had no intention of buying an expensive watch, so I went around the corner to buy a cheap 5 dollar watch from a bookstore, just to fulfill that requirement.  2 weeks later the watch broke.  Stopped moving, the band dislocated, and even the face cracked, all from just falling on the floor in my kitchen due to carelessness.  So I went out in search for a new one.  A few days later I stumbled upon Wired, a side company to watch makers Seiko, due to a recommendation from my friend Doz.  I liked the simple design, the chronograph style face, and while it remains heavy, the weight and balance of the watch on my wrist.  It's been 4 years since I first purchased this watch and it hasn't failed me yet, besides the battery change after 3 years.  I am looking for an upgrade at the moment, but I'm content with it for now.  More sentimental value than physical value here, I suppose.
