Watch Wearing Wednesday: Grenen Men's Black Stainless Steel Watch

Revived with a new battery, I've been wearing my Grenen stainless steel watch again. It's a great modern design with a thin sleek case and a stainless steel mesh band.

While Grenen watches have faded from the scene, it's parent brand Skagen still makes similar watches.  Many people are getting into minimalism and minimalist watches today, but Skagen has been into simple designs for a long time.

I first reviewed this watch here back in 2016.  The watch continues to be a great alternative to big clunky watches and brings a cool form and great functionality to your wrist.  It's definitely a watch you can wear all day.

Watch Wearing Wednesday: Men's Grenen Sports Watch with Analog Calendar Features

 When you were a kid, did your grandfather ever give you a wooden token or small coin that was marked as a "Round Tuit?" If you got a "Round Tuit," it was supposed to empower you to go out and do all the things that you were going to do if you ever got around to it.  It was kind of dumb, pre-baby boomer, humor that usually elicited a combination of a suppressed sigh, groan, rolling of the eyes, and a strong attempt to pay attention and give respect to the World War 2 and Great Depression generation.  In our hobby, getting around to changing the batteries on quartz watches can be put off for a long time.  But, when you do change those batteries, it's like Christmas.  The gift is all kinds of watches that you haven't worn for awhile.  This watch (below) is from Skagen and was sold through it's Grenen brand at stores like Kohl's.

I wore this watch a lot for the first couple of years of ownership and then it got packed away for about a decade when the battery died.  Now, it's back and it looks great.  It's like a vintage sports car now.
