New Arrival: Nike Oregon WA0037 Frankenwatch

Sorry for being MIA for a while. I haven't bought many watches recently and started doing an exercise video instead of running, so haven't been using my watches as much. Moving on.
I'm not sure what this watch is called, and I bought this with a canvas strap that I had replaced through the Nike watch repair folks.
This is a big watch, nice and thick. I think the watch is a little too short vertically. The band almost overpowers the face. But I like the design and the familiar Nike timing choices and layout. The band comes with the buckle kind, not a peg and hole system, the latter which I prefer. I've enjoyed this watch and give it a 8 out of 10.

New Arrival: Freestyle Tide 4.0

Another eBay watch without much interest. Good news for me. I like this watch. Not the perfect color combo, with a little too much lime green. Not sure how they came up with that color. The face of this watch is a little wider than taller and the proportion seems a little off, maybe because I'm used to square and round ones. But this has a good, large stance, and a band with a good rubbery grip. The tide stuff I won't use, but otherwise is easy to use. Overall, a good watch, a 8 out of 10.

New Arrival: Nike Zero Drift ACG WA0007

Not sure what this one is called, obviously. I have seen this a fair amount on eBay, and usually not much interest. Same with this auction. This is a so-so watch. A little too small, not quite enough design interest, a little bit soft. It has compass nonsense that I'll never use. It's a little dinged up, which doesn't bother me that much. Too much gray on the band. I have a suspicion I'll end up selling this one again on eBay. But for now, I'll put it in the rotation. A 6 out of 10.

New Arrival: Nike Mettle Anvil Super

Sorry it's been a while. I haven't stopped buying watches. In fact, I checked eBay for 2011 purchases and I think it was about 30 watches. Ouch. I have sold a bunch, so maybe it's not that bad. But pretty bad. But on to the news....
I got this Nike watch on eBay for $115. It's more than I wanted to spend. These watches have been coming onto eBay on a regular basis from a foreign website, but I got this from a US seller, slightly used. No big deal; I don't mind a used watch, or without books/boxes/manuals/etc. if it will save me a few bucks. I was worried this would be a slim watch, but it's not. It's nice and sizeable, and similar to many of the other Nike watches in this style. The rounded part at the top and bottom have been a little scuffed, as they stick out and pick up shocks. It's a little too much black for my taste as I like a bit more silver. But I like the sides and the silver there. The black rubber is nice and supple. The mechanism has the same layout as others, which I like. This is a very nice watch, a 9 out of 10.

New Arrival: Vestal Brig

Got this one with only 3 bidders on eBay. Is it a slow time on eBay? I can't figure out eBay. The Timex WS4 that I'm eyeing to replace my all black one has been going for way too much. Maybe I should sell the one I don't like now and buy the replacement later. Anyway, I digress. I got this one for a bit more than I wanted to spend, $73, but it's worth it. Again, a hair too small of a watch, but a nice one. I thought the all black would be too much, but it works. The other version has some white in it that lightens it up, but I'm generally not a fan of white on my watches. This has a bit too complicated tide system, which again I will never use, and which shrinks the time and date readout. It also has a weird "train" thing instead of a regular stopwatch, which says, "suffer" and "recover" at intervals, and beeps. I just want to know how long it takes me to do my laps around the reservoir. But the numbers look good and the watch feels good, including some weird bumps on the inside of the band. A 8.5 out of 10.

New Arrival: Puma Escalate

Got this one new on eBay without many competitors. I was afraid this watch would be too small, and it is by a hair. I was also afraid of the Puma jinx, where I have bought a couple Puma watches and not liked them and resold them.
But I like this watch more than I thought I would, especially after wearing and working out with it for a day. The design is cool, and especially nice with the silver to offest the black. The dark numbers are a bit hard to read, and I don't like the double clasp system. But the styling makes up for it. A good but not great watch. A 8 out of 10.

New Arrival: Puma Stream

I got this watch without much competition on eBay. I'll chalk this one up to not enough homework. First, the watch is all black, and I forgot that it comes in one with a silver face, which I would like much better, and may try to get if I see one on eBay. Second, this watch has a leather band, which I generally oppose. I could have found out about this bit of info if I had actually done some reading on this watch. Third, this is an awkward watch when it sits on my wrist, and a bit hard to read. I don't think it will get much wrist time. Another in a pretty long line of weird Puma watches in my possession that I may eventually sell. A 6.5 out of 10.
