The start of something great.

It was the start of a hobby. The day, I got my first watch. It was one day before Halloween. I was 8 years old and this was my first trick or treat or like we call it "Süsses oder Saures".

My grandfather died earlier in this year. He bought himself several watches. As I was just 8 years old, I couldn't run around with a gold watch, so I got his Swatch to see when I needed to be at home. To be exact it was a Swatch "Once Again" from the year 2000. Perfect for a young boy like me.

With a diameter of 34mm the "Once Again" is not too large and because of its affordable price you won't get a heartattack if you got a scratch in it. This is why I say this watch is perfect as first watch for kids. Swatch has a lot of different designs for every taste.

I wore this watch several years to the point I wanted a new one. I was one of a few kids with a watch.

Some years ago, I boutht the same watch again in honor of my grandfather. The new one was just a little bit bigger because my wrist got a lot larger...

For just 55 CHF (57.90$) you can't say anything against this watch.
