I am a finicky kind of character who knows exactly what she wants and will keep searching until she gets exactly what was in her mind. As the head-nurse working at the Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, one of my many tasks is to fill out dozens of forms every single day. Start with date, time, patient name, doctor’s name etc. etc. etc. For me therefore, knowing the today’s date, day and exact time is important. So, when my 10-year old faithful watch stopped working, I knew exactly which kind of watch I should buy.
In these times of the Covid-19 pandemic, rather than go visiting watch shops, I decided to buy the watch online which frankly, for someone like me (technically challenged), it was a challenge indeed. Still, since the need was there, I decided to use the machine at my desk in the hospital.
I opened the browser and searched for “Casio watches”. Casio because I had heard that Casio produced the finest value-for-money watches. Without doubt, Swiss produced quality watches but they tended to be fancy, expensive and more often than not, lacking in required functionality. So, Casio it had to be.
My search ran into an immediate problem. Google returned with something like a million hits. I clicked on a few links here and there but was not too impressed. Then I clicked on thecitywatches.ie/and right there on the page that opened, was this beautiful Casio Enticer LTP-V300L-2A2 LTPV300L-2A2 Quartz Women’s Watch. Moreover, it was exactly what I wanted; it had sub-dials that displayed the day of the week, date of the month and, a third sub-dial that displayed the time in 24-hour format. And, at just €53, the price was Perfect in fact, everything about the watch was perfect! My friend who had recommended Casio watches was right. Casio does manufacture top-quality highly functional watches that are also easy on the pocket.
The picture of the Casio Enticer LTP-V300L-2A2 LTPV300L-2A2 Quartz Women’s Watch showed that the watch had a blue dial with something called a “mineral crystal”. Although I was impressed, I must confess I had no idea what a mineral crystal was. Maybe instead of inserting 21-jewels, they inserted crystals these days?
The Casio Enticer LTP-V300L-2A2 LTPV300L-2A2 Quartz Women’s Watch offered an accuracy of ±20 Seconds Per Month which was really perfect. It had a stainless-steel case and a black leather strap. Everything about the Casio watched suited me perfectly.
Without wasting any more time, I went ahead and made the purchase. When I looked at the wall clock in my office, I was surprised to note that from search to purchase took me no more than 15 minutes. Amazing, should do this more often.
The watch arrived a few days later and I saw that the time, day and date were already correct. No need to set anything which was a big relief. I started wearing the watch from next day itself and to date, am quite happy with it.
