Cold and bored

So we went to the mall to look around and stretch our legs.
Glenn got a cute gift that Mommy bought. There were a bunch of little craft kiosks around the mall, so he got a print with a cute saying for each letter of his name. Ironically, the man who sold it to us son is named Glenn as well, same spelling.
Went and saw a few watches while I was there. Very unimpressed by ESQ brand watches. It may be swiss, but the fit and finish were awful compared to the Seiko I was wearing. It also cost about twice as much as well. It was a chronograph with a cheesy digital display. Kinda like a $30 Casio or Timex, except it cost about $230.
Tried on a Bulova Chronograph as well. Solid end links, nice case, asstastic quartz movement. It only ticked once a second with no tenths or hundredths of a second dial. It cost over $330. For that kind of money I can pick up two (2) Seikos that the timing hand moves at 1/5 second intervals AND it has an alarm AND a dual time zone.
Methinks the Swiss are relying on their history a bit too much.
