Hello my dear Hive friends! 💖 Wishing you all well and good health 🙏
Time really flies by so quickly. Imagine, I've had this watch for eight years now. This watch has a lot of sentimental value to me. It was the first expensive thing I bought with my salary from my very first job. In other words, this watch was my gift to myself back then. It was the first time I gave myself a gift from my very own salary.
I don't really like wearing jewelries or expensive things, but back then, I allowed myself to buy something. I also thought carefully about what I bought. I made sure that the thing I bought as a gift for myself was something that besides being beautiful, I could also use for a long time.
When I was in college, this watch was very popular. I don't even know why it became a trend. Because it had a nice style and this brand was tried and tested? Maybe. There were also a lot of fake watches like this, so at that time, I think almost everyone wore them, even fake ones. I didn't follow the trend back then, because I was saving money when I was in college so I could spend money on my projects and thesis. I just promised myself that when I got a job and started earning a salary, I would only buy things like this.
Why did I really like it? First of all, I want the watch to be water resistant, so I don't have to worry about taking it off and putting it back on when I wash my hands. I could easily forget things, sometimes hehe 😅 In addition, it also has an alarm.
It also has a light in case it is dark. It can also be set to military time, which I'm more used to. Because at the place where I worked before, we also checked the date code on the products we made.
I was very happy at the time I purchased it! 💖 I also couldn't believe that I finally bought myself something like this. Also, it brings me joy and sense of fulfillment because it was my gift for myself on my birthday 🎂
I often wear this watch when I go to casual or formal gatherings. I feel more comfortable wearing it and it gives me confidence.
Another fantastic thing about this watch is that it still works even though I haven't replaced the battery since then. It has been proven to be durable so I don't regret buying it. It still looks the same when I bought it even though I've had it for a long time. It also doesn't fade, like the joy and memories it has given me.

Thank you so much @iamjadeline and @ecency 💖
This watch is very nice and quite good. I gave my wife the silver version as a gift. But now she wants this gold one, so I think I'll buy it for her soon.
It's a great feeling to buy something with your own money. I hope it lasts you for many years to come.
Aww...that's so sweet! 😍 She'll definitely love it! 💕
I am a big fan of Casio watches! I’m actually using a silver one from this version, and the battery is incredible. I haven’t had to change it in almost 5 years! :))
Glad you have that one too 😍 That is absolutely fantastic! 💖 Casio watches are seriously reliable and low-maintenance 🙌 Really amazing! 💕
I can understand the sentimental value placed on an item such as your watch. It sounds like a keeper! Whoever hears of something lasting 8 years without replacing the batteries? I can't think of anything!
Thanks for sharing the story. Take care and have a lovely day!
I agree, eight years is an incredible run for a battery 🙌 This watch is definitely for keeps and quite the lucky charm! 💖 I'm glad you enjoyed the story sis! 💕 You have a lovely day too, and take care always! 🤗🌷🥰
It really shows how well you take care of your things. You mentioned it before about your stuff toys is still with you . I can only imagine how much more you cherish and value your loved ones. Because of how you take care of your things. And buying quality stuff and take care of it, will last longer. 🥰
I'm deeply touched that you noticed these things about me sis! 💖 It's true that I definitely believe in buying quality and then taking excellent care of everything is the best way to make things last 💕 Thank you for the sweet comment! 🥰🤗
