Contest: Win an Orient watch [Closed]

October 13th, 2009 Dave Freeman

We don’t often get to run contests here at WWR, but when we do, we get excited. Recently, Orient watches contacted us about doing a giveaway, and we are definitely excited and glad to help them find a new home for one of their timepieces. For the details on how to win, click on constant reader…

Orient Watch is known as the bargain brand with the long names, and the watch that we’re giving away is no exception. The watch in question is the Orient bem72001b, and it’s lovely. It’s a stainless steel case, water resistant to 50 meters, and made with Orient’s in house automatic movement.

How do you win? Well that’s easy. Leave a comment telling us what your first watch was. It’s that easy. Also make sure that you put a real email address in (don’t worry, we’re the only ones who will see it) so we can contact you when you win. The contest will end on October 23, at which time we’ll select a random (or our favorite) comment, and award the watch.

Update: Contest ends at 12:01am Pacific time tonight (October 23rd). We’ll notify the winner via email.

First watch was a Casio calculator watch. Yes, basically a geek from birth.

Some of the people here didn’t seem to know what a watch was until they decided to sink $100 into one when they turned 18. My first was of course a plastic Batman watch worth about $5.

My first watch was a Casio that had what at the time were amazing things like an alarm, digital screen, and an ability to play a few simple MIDI songs. I thought it was pretty sweet.
Jonathan Sarkarati

My first watch was one of those POS electronic Pac-Man watches that would fail after a month of playing. I think my parents bought it at Fedco out in SoCal…God, I wonder if they even exist anymore (Fedco, that is).
Jason

A cheap black plastic Casio digital with chronograph and alarm, in 1983. I still have it, although the strap is a generic replacement. Still works!
Lon Rohlfing

My first watch was a Seiko Mickey Mouse watch from the early 80s, picked up on a vacation to Disneyland.

My first watch was a relic.

My first watch was a Timex with a plastic wristband. I’ve avoided plast wristbands ever since.
Tyler Johnson

My first watch that I actually wore was in the 4th grade, and it was a Timex Sportsman waterproof… or something similar to that name. I might even still have it around here somewhere.
Neil

A Helbros, when I was 14. It broke before too long, and the watchmaker said it wasn’t worth repairing. Their reputation has certainly varied over the years…

My first watch was a Dick Tracy watch that I won in a contest that was held at my elementary school for who could read the most books over the summer. I read so many books as a kid I never have to read a book again!
Carson

My first watch was an Avocet Vertech. Nothing like using the barometer to predict the weather!

My first watch was a manual E.T. watch that was released at the same time the movie came out. I still have it and it still works.
Luckenson Jean

My first watch was a digital Casio that didn’t last even a good month because it got wet under a heavy rain (I guess they were still working on a water resistant one) danm you Casio!!!

Casio calculator watch. That thing was money

Green kermet the frog flip up watch that I’m pretty I got at muppets on ice when I was 3.
Vincent Niesi

My first watch was a Superman watch. It had a blue leather band with a picture of Superman flying through the sky. I actually found it not to long ago when I was going through some old boxes. It made me smile to see it once again. I cleaned it up, put in a new battery and passed it on to my 3 year old nephew. I hope it brings him as much happiness as it did me.
Spanky

Casio calculator watch. I think I was in 3rd grade.
Dan Melore

Mickey Mouse watch for my 6th birthday. It came with three straps; black, red and yellow
Chris F

First watch was a Raphael Ninja turtle with a flip top green shell I got for my 7th birthday. My grandfather still asks me (jokingly) where it is now, though I lost it when I was 10.
DJ

My first watch was a Timex ironman
Johnny

My first watch was Straight Flush Casio.
Carlos

My first watch was a Casio calculator watch.
J Sarella

My first watch was a Mickey Mouse one, where his hands were the hour and minute hands . The first real watch I had was a Radioshack Digital Watch, don’t remember what kind. The first analog watch, other than that mickey mouse one, was a Casio.
Eric

Gosh, I know my first watch was a Swatch of some sort but I can’t remember what exactly. My first nice watch was a Seiko titanium perpetual calendar that my mother bought me.
Geoff Pado

My first watch was a crappy pocketwatch I found in a Wal-Mart lot when I was 7. Less than a year later, one of the hands fell off (despite being behind the glass).

My first watch was a Casio F-91w. Pretty sure it’s still living in a drawer somewhere.
Matt S.

My first watch was a Casio Data Bank watch which had a calculator and the ability to actually store phone numbers. High tech stuff for a 10 year old in the early 80′s. My geekdom hit early.
Frank Gonzales

A thirteen dollar Timex with glow in the dark hands and numbers. Many a fun times cupping my hands around it to block out the light to see the glowing watch face!
Jeff

My first watch was a casio. I think it was $10.

Mine was some ASAHI low-priced watch. I received it as a present for my birthday when I was 8. Still remember buying and switching batteries =)
Furcht

Swatch.. circa 1985. Oh… and don’t forget about the Swatch guard.
Navs

If I had a watch I wouldn’t be on time, so don’t pick me.
jonha

my first watch was and still is a Casio Edifice EF-321
great watch until the leather started to smell
Shawn O.

My first watch was a Mickey Mouse analog with a black leather strap. I got it when I was 8 at Disney World when my grandparents took me there. Memories………..
Herendo

It really wasn’t a watch. It was a precision instrument that measured time, even to the eyes of an eleven year old. It took a long time for me to get it…or at least something like it. I used to look at car magazines a lot and one day I spotted a photo of a big silver chronograph with a macho looking band on the wrist of a Formula One driver. I knew I had to have one. So I showed it to my dad. I thought he forgot about it, but he took me to a department store on my birthday to look for one. Of course I didn’t find the watch I fell in love with from the picture that day. I ended up getting an Armitron that looked almost as good. I have loved watches ever since and am still looking for that F1 Chrono!
motionmonk

My 1st watch was a Timex. Gold-rimmed casing with leather band. My aunt got it for me, and I really didn’t like her at the time. It was moral dilemma whether to rejct the gift, or have to kiss her and take the watch.
Ya, I was a watch whore even at age 9 and took the watch. Still have it too.
Marko

Original Ironman Timex. Got it in seventh grade and still own the same one 15 years later. They really do “take a lickin and keep on tickin”. Except for the cheesy plastic bands which I’ve replaced at least 10 of.
Culprit

It was a no-name wind-up watch that had an astronaut on the big hand and a lunar space capsule on the little hand.
