Takes a licking . . .

 . . . and keeps on ticking

I grew up the heyday of the commercials that John Cameron Swayze did for Timex watches. Therefore, when I saw the Urban Pop 40mm Eco-Friendly Strap Watch on sale I just had to but it for the nostalgia value alone. However, I ware it because it looks good ( to me anyway) and is comfortable on my wrist.

However, I have no plans to test it and see if it holds up as well as the watches of the past. While it has a water resistance rating of 50 meters, I do not have access to an outboard motor.

FWIW: Water resistance 


50 meters = 5 bars = 5 atmosphere = 165 feet = 73.5 PSI

  • Worry-free accidental splashing 
  • Can wear in rain and snow
  • Can submerge in water
  • Safe to swim in the pool and ocean
