Last year was a really difficult time for me, so I treated myself to a nice present on my birthday. I got a watch! First time in a long time…

All of my friends (and co-workers) have Apple Watches. About 100%! But because I’m so passionate about 日本🇯🇵、I really wanted a Japanese watch.

The very first watch that I ever owned (as a kid) was handed down to me by my dad. It was a Seiko. なつかしい。。。

The first watch that I ever purchased in my life was on my high school band trip to Japan. It was a Seiko…

So of course, this had to be a Seiko. And the 62MAS Diver was the right one for me.

Being an automatic watch, it’s not quite as accurate as a quartz watch. But it’s all good. It’s a few seconds slow, just like me. Everyday my watch seems to tell me, 「アラン、がんばってね。」

うん！がんばろう💪
