Why the hell is this watch so expensive?

I like this watch, and it's on my eBay daily reminder list, and I would love to have it. But why the hell is it so expenisve? It just sold for $141. Here's the watch.



I think it's the same as the one I own (that's all black) but with a silver rectangle around it. Here's the one I own.



I got mine for $30 at a Nike outlet with a gift card I got somewhere. I like mine. I would probably have a slight preference for the silver faced one, but why on earth is it going for over $100? I also see them coming up for sale on eBay more often than you would think for a discontinued watch. I can't figure it all out, folks.

Here's the link to recent eBay listing:

I'm Not Allowed Watches for Christmas

My wife thinks I have too many watches, and I should drop any hints about desired watches for Christmas to family who may be in the buying mood. Bummer. Maybe I'll get an Amazon gift certificate or something.

Stupid Daylights Saving Time

I live in California, and we have Daylights Savings. Guess what? I need to adjust all the clocks in the house, but much worse, all of my watches. I started to do them as I wear them, and tried to be systematic about wearing all my Freestyles, big to small. I must say, I wish the buttons for setting would be consistent (which my Nike watches are, probably because they use the same mechanism for all their watch electronics) for the Freestyles. Oh, well. Soon I'll be on to my non-Freestyle, non-Nike watches which I'll have to reset.

Old but good: Freestyle Buzz

I need to revisit some watches I've had for a while and are great watches. I've been wearing my Freestyle watches, starting with the large and working to small. I trekked around for a day with this one, and I forgot home much I like it. Great design, a like the angular points on the top and bottom, interesting curved font. One strike against is the weird integrated gray into the band. A solid 9 out of 10.

Okay, I'm buying this.

I blogged about this before, but now it's serious. I need the watchband and the new iPod nano. Very cool.
