New Arrival and Departure: Origo Ranger Peak

I got his for $16.00 on eBay and it showed up in the mail today. The watch stinks. Literally, the watch smells like women's lotion or perfume or something. I've tried to clean it up with everything, but the thing is very strong. I'm guessing it wasn't worn by a woman, as it's clearly a large, man's watch. Maybe a store? Anyway, it smells to the high heavens and I'm getting rid of it. Didn't get to see it in action, but nice and big, but kinda boring design. The bezel thing spins around (N-S-E-W), not sure why. I think there's a compass in it. I would never use that. Again, very thick watch like another of my Origo watches. I give it a 6.5 if it smelled okay. I guess this is a risk of eBaying used watches.

Kinda New Arrival: iPod Nano band

Okay, this is sorta a new arrival: I got the Hex watch band for the nano but decided to trade it in for the iWatchz band at the Apple store shortly after Christmas. The iWatchz band is a cool idea and it looks pretty cool when it's up and running. However, you have to hit the on button every time you want to see it. You have a headphone jack connected to your wrist when you're running. Kinda awkward, and I haven't worn much since I got it for Christmas.

New Arrival: Origo Guide Pro

This is one mother of a big watch. It's the thickest watch I've ever seen, by far the biggest I've ever owned. It feels a little cheap as the sides and back are plastic, not metal. It's all face, which I like, and I don't like the little bits of dark green and orange. I guess it tells you when to go shoot deer or something, which isn't my cup of tea, but you can't miss that you're wearing it. The design is a little pedestrian, but I do like the shiny silver circle surrounding it. Overall an 8 out of 10.

Fursty's Yard Sale

Okay, as part of my quality, not quantity, I'm selling eight watches on eBay right now. You guessed it, they're not my favorites, but it feels good to be thinning the herd. I'm guessing a few of them won't sell, as they're a bit obscure (and undesirable), but that's the way it goes.
Check it out if you want.

New Arrival: Starck Fossil O Ring

Okay, this one is a little bit out there. It is a little bit analog. It doesn't have a stopwatch so I can't use it when I got for a run. But it is black rubber with a silver face and it doesn't have hands. It gives the hour numerically and then a minute around the face for each minute. Pretty cool. It has no buttons except on the back for setting the time. You have to use the end of a paper clip. Its size is good. It has a hole in the middle to show off my wrist hair. Pretty cool, an 8.5 out of 10.

New Arrival: Tech 4 O Accelerator

I got this watch on eBay for quite cheap. I think less than $20 including shipping. It's too small for my taste. A little sterile and boring too. I've already got it back on eBay to sell. Not sure if it will move, but I'm trying to keep only watches I really like and will wear. I give it a 4 out of 10.

New Freestyle 2011 catalog

There's a new catalog for Spring and Summer 2011 Freestyle watches. I like the Stride and the Tide 4.0 (although I'm not sure about the Tide 4.0 colors and may have to do some band changes). Here's the catalog:
