TGIF: Watches that Pass the Fast Food Worker Watch Test

They say men notice other men's watches.  That may be true, but it has been a long time since I attended a meeting in person.  I've been very fortunate to work from home since well before the pandemic.  It has its pros and cons.  The work-from-home lifestyle can be a little isolating.  Other than my wife and a few friends, I don't see that many people.  As a side effect, the people who are most likely to notice a watch that I'm wearing are fast food workers.  They will notice a watch during that quick exchange of debit or credit card for food at the window.

What watches have fast food workers noticed and complimented me on lately?

Two or three of my watches have garnered recent praise when I've been out and about town.  Amazingly, the watches haven't been my most expensive ones.  They've been watches that almost anyone can afford.

US Polo Association Green Diver-Style Watch


One watch that got noticed is my US Polo Association Diver Style watch. They should be able to notice it pretty easily since the watch comes in green and silver. The color combo really does pop. It got a "Nice watch, Sir," from a McDonald's worker on a late night cheeseburger run.

Made by Accutime, the US Polo Association Watch comes in a nice faux leather box with a stitched top and the familiar figure of a polo player.  The watch features a Japanese quartz movement, a non-rotating bezel, and cost less than $25 at a Ross or Burlington store.

Geoffrey Beene Blue Sapphire Watch


Another watch that passed the fast food worker test is my Geoffrey Beene Blue Sapphire Watch.  It garnered a "nice watch" from a worker at our best local Baskin-Robins ice cream shop.

Again, this is another low priced masterpiece coming in at only $22 at a local shop:  Burlington or Ross.
