House of Marley J Watch
- Choose from two different green-banded models and one white-banded, more expensive (but still cheap) one
- Canvas bands so they don’t stick to your wrist in the summer heat
- We keep waiting for House of Marley to make something that isn’t nice-looking and solidly built, and we’re still waiting
- Model: WM-JA003-MT, WM-JA004-DB, WM-JA005-MT (W for watch, M for Marley, MT for Martial, DB for Dubwise, but… MT for “Billet”? So close)
Fair-Weather Band
Leather’s nice. Leather’s great. We all love leather. Nothing better than leather.
Except when it’s hot out. Eww. A nice watch seems much less nice if you have to peel it off your sweaty wrist with an audible shlip.
We don’t really know, but we bet they don’t wear a lot of leather in Jamaica. The canvas bands on these House of Marley J Watches are much more suited to Jamdung’s sticky, steamy summers.
Plus they kind of recall the guerrilla chic-army shirts worn by '70s roots Rastas on their album covers. Or at least the green-banded models do, which is why they have names like Martial and Billet.
The more uptown white look of the Hitch Dubwise is more versatile, and has a wider appeal, but we have fewer of them. So we’ll nudge the price up to make sure the people who really want it can get it, and subsidize the people who are happy with the green one. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain manipulating the levers of supply and demand.
Whichever color/price you choose, you’ll be able to stow your leather-banded watch away for the summer, right alongside your leather pants.
