Two Ways to Feel Like a Commando

Have you ever wanted to feel like a commando?  Well, there are two ways to feel like a commando.  The hard way and the easy way.  The hard way involves getting in shape, joining the army, getting airborne qualified, earning the Ranger tab, excelling as a Ranger, and joining Delta Force.

On this path, feeling like a commando entails a life of danger, getting shot at, and tens of thousands of push-ups, pull ups, eating small lizards, and getting mud in all sorts of bodily crevices.

On the plus side, you do get to blow stuff up and a lots of free ammunition. Most importantly, you will get the respect and admiration of your countrymen.  Every cubicle slave will wish that they were you.  You will be physically and mentally fit.  You will have earned the quiet pride that comes with knowing that you are truly the best of the best.

Alternatively, the second way to feel like a commando is to simply buy yourself a Wenger Sea Force watch. Obviously, this is the easy way.  Since the watch is water resistant to 200 meters, it never gets mud into internal crevices.  It is black as night and offers a sleek, business-like, appearance.

The Xezo Air Commando: A Bad Ass Watch for a Good Cause

Sometimes when I browse Amazon, I come across some really cool watches.  For example, to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the U.S. Air Force 1st Air Commando Group and promote a good cause, Xezo watches created the Air Commando Pilot Diver Automatic watch.

The 1st Air Commando Group fought against the Japanese in Burma.  They supported guerilla forces that operated far behind enemy lines.  Today, they have evolved into the modern Air Force's elite 1st Special Operations Wing.

This watch has the good looks that you'd expect of any commando watch.  It also has a Citizen Miyoto movement, a 45 millimeter diameter case that is 13 millimeters thick, and a 22 millimeter wide bracelet.  The Xezo Air Commando is water resistant to 200 meters.  The Air Commando watch can take anything you care to dish out.  The crystal is a "flat scratchproof Swiss-Made sapphire crystal glass with antireflection treatment."  Overall, it looks like a bad ass watch for a good cause.

[It's been nine years since I made this post.  As of 2024, Amazon still shows a few of these Xezo watches as being available. The only current listing for the watch model is this Air Commando (below).  The company's current offerings are primarily nice pens and sunglasses. The Unite4Good website now appears to be some sort of Indonesian video game site so I have removed the link.]
