Sometimes wearing a cool watch brings great joy. The watch doesn't have to be expensive. It just needs to be cool. One of my coolest and one of my oldest watches is this silver-on-silver quartz watch from Rumours. If it cost me $20 new, I would be surprised.

Why do I like this watch?
That's a good question. It just seems to have a certain something, something. First of all, it has Silver-and-Silver as a color palette and that is almost always good. Second, it has a unidirectional rotating bezel which is perfect for timing pizzas in the oven and other important elapsed time activities. I've posted on my criteria for judging cheap watches before. This watch just hits all the right marks for me.

Watch Size Matters
The other thing that I like about this watch is its size and weight. It doesn't sit high on the wrist and can fit under any cuff. It's lightweight and you can wear it comfortably all day. Finally, it has smooth edges and it doesn't dig into the wrist so it is comfortable.

Overall
This isn't a review. You'd be hard pressed to find this watch on ebay or Etsy. This is just a cool watch from my collection and a reminder that brand, movement, and pedigree aren't everything.
