I never did find Mark a really good watch like I wanted to get him for his birthday last year, so I'm still on the hunt for a good one.
I found some really decent Festina watches at Kenmar Watches.com, and I really liked how easy their site was to navigate as well as their wide selection of all kinds of watches.
I really like this one, it's very nice, stainless steel, water resistant, quartz movement, and not bad for price at all.
Kenmar Watches is so easy to navigate and find what you are looking for.
If you know the brand name you are looking for, just type it in the search box and it goes straight there, and then gives you options on the side to narrow down your search to find exactly the watch, style, and price range you want.
They have a banner on their site that says if you order by 2pm EST, you'll be wearing your watch in 24 hours.
I may just have to test that out if and when I do order a watch for Mark.
He'll be turning 18 this year, graduating high school, so this is the year that I'll be buying him his first big grown up men's watch.
I think a nice watch helps a man look good, feel good, and be on time for things like job interviews, class or whatever.
Mark will be attending the police academy as soon as he can when school lets out this summer.
He has to take a few classes at MCC, and a few at SCTI, and then on to the academy he goes.
He has several references from officers and his Big, George, who was a detective in Washington DC for 25 years, so he's got some really outstanding references to help him get in.
He always knew that he'd be in some type of law oriented job field all while growing up.
He went back and forth between lawyer and police officer, and he's finally settled on police officer.
I'm very proud of him, so I'm definitely going to keep digging around the site and find the absolute most perfect watch for him.
I'm going to start asking him some questions here and there like silver or gold, what's your favorite out of the two?
Metal or leather? (for the wrist band)
Plain or fancy? (for the watch face)
If fancy, would he like a color like blue or red?
Sporty or fancy? (for the whole watch itself)
I really want to find him the perfect grown up watch for a grown up young man, but I also want it to be something that he will wear every single day.
If he doesn't like my choice, he won't wear it, he'll just put it away for safe keeping like he does with so many of the "fancy" things people have given him over the years.
I may even let him look around the site and find one he likes himself, I'll play it cool though and say something like, if some parents wanted to get their son a watch for graduation, which one would you think the boy would want? If it was you, which one would you actually wear?
I'll tell him it's for a job I have to do, and that way he'll help me pick one out without knowing it's for him.
Heh.

Heh.
I will also do whatever I cant to help him out in maine you have to be 21 to be hired or have x amount of post secondary ed. I dont know what its like down there. But let me know if I can do anything.
Yeah, he has to take 2 years of classes at MCC, and then 1 year of classes at SCTI, and then 2 years of police academy, and then he has to apply with references, so he will be 21 by the time he finishes all his schooling.
From the time he was about 4 years old, he started saying he wanted to be a cop, then a lawyer, then a cop, lawyer, repeat.
I always knew he'd end up in some form of law enforcement from the time he was really little, and now he's totally decided, he wants to be a cop.
I'm very proud of him, he's never been in any trouble at all at school or with the law, he has a perfectly clean record, so he should do well in that regards.
It's going to be tough, police academy, but this is what he wants to do with his life.
I am proud of Mark. I hope that he will be successful in all of his endeavors whatever they may be. Love you all
