    As I was winding my watch this morning, my son showed a keen interest and wanted to wind and try my watches.

    Long story short, I ended up gifting him the Casio that I wore for most of my youth. It has begun :)

    Awesome! Congrats!

    I've got a little guy that's about to turn two and he's always trying to grab my watches. I'm thinking of getting him a little search of some sort for his birthday.

    Thanks all. He still wears it every day.


    Bubba, I won’t tell him you called him a baby ;)


    That’s gonna be an awfully long paper route :)

    His first question will be, "What's a paper route?"

    You'll respond, "It's a list of people to whom you deliver newspapers."

    "What's a newspaper? "

    Yes! Probably very true.

    I’ll change it to: “That’s gotta be a lot if bit coin mining”

    Although the risk is the reply is gonna be somewhat similar.

    Well done! If he gains an appreciation for the artistry in the world around him, and the place of analog in our digital society, he will have a great perspective on life. Great picture!

    A little "search"? Is that meant to be a different word?

    What a great young man! He looks like he's thinking "It's playtime!"

    I'm sure he meant Swatch, and autocorrect kicked in?

    Ooh, yeah, I figured he was probably a victim of autocorrect, but I wasn't sure what was intended! Thanks!
