House of Marley Watch
- Five models to choose from: Transport, Martial, and Hitch Dubwise are battery-powered, and Billet and Fluid are self-winding and cost $10 more
- All but the Hitch have leather straps and real wood details; the Hitch has a canvas strap and no wood
- All materials are as sustainably harvested, recycled, or earth-friendly as possible
- We probably don’t need to keep saying this but we will: House of Marley makes genuinely good stuff even if you don’t care about Bob Marley
- Model: WM-JA004-DB, WM-FA001-MI, WM-FA003-PS, WM-DM005-MI, WM-DM002-MI (W is presumably watch, and M is presumably Men’s, but we can’t figure out the significance of the other letters - any guesses?)
What price obliviousness?
The world is divided between people who would rather save a little money by being conscientious, and people who would rather spend a little money to free themselves from the obligation to be conscientious. Today, let’s find out which one you are.
We’ve got five House of Marley watches to choose from here. All have that House of Marley “upscale earthy” look and solid, tasteful construction. They all, you know, tell time. Your choice would normally be down to personal style preference… except:
Three of them (Transport, Martial, and Hitch Dubwise) run on batteries. The other two (Billet and Fluid) are self-winding, and cost $10 more.
So if you’ve ever had a watch battery die, and then the watch sat on your dresser for nine months, reminding you every night that you still hadn’t gotten that new battery, get the self-winding ones. Maybe you’re busy. Maybe you live a long way from anywhere that sells watch batteries. Maybe you’re just disorganized. Whatever the problem is, these watches will wind their own springs with the natural movement of your arm. You’ll never have to think about a battery again. Get the Billet or the Fluid. It’ll be ten bucks well spent.
But if you’re the kind of person who gets your car’s oil changed every 3,000 miles, and always has fresh lightbulbs in all the lamps in your house, and gets a new toothbrush every three months, get the battery-powered one. You’ll stay on top of it, no problem. Get the Transport, Martial, or Hitch. It’ll be ten bucks well saved.
Cash in on your competence. Or put your money where your lazy ass is. We’ll be checking that pie chart down there to see just what kind of people you are: scatter-brained money-wasters or goody-goody penny-pinchers. Of course, we mean both of those in the nicest way possible.
And if you’re just not sure which kind you are: you’ve got two arms. Better buy one of each kind and check back in a year or two.
