Here’s the problem: You walk into a watch store (or open Amazon), and you’re hit with 10,000 options. G-Shock alone has hundreds of models. How do you choose?

Most people either spend hours researching or impulse-buy the wrong watch. Then it sits in a drawer, unworn.

I built something to fix this.

The Watch Advisor: Your Personal Watch Consultant (Free, 60 Seconds)

I created a tool called the Watch Advisor that asks you four simple questions:

1.What’s your budget? (Under $100 to $2,000+)

2.What’s your style? (Sport, dress, military, dive, etc.)

3.What’s your lifestyle? (Fitness, outdoor adventures, formal events, everyday wear)

4.What features matter most? (Water resistance, solar power, shock resistance, etc.)

In 60 seconds, you get personalized watch recommendations tailored exactly to your needs. No more guessing. No more buyer’s remorse.

Each recommendation includes:

•Amazon ratings and reviews from real buyers

•Key features that match your lifestyle

•Direct links to buy on Amazon (with Prime shipping)

•Social proof showing how many people bought each model

The best part? It’s completely free. No signup required. Just answer four questions and get your matches.

But Wait, There’s More: Watch of the Week

Every week, I feature a standout watch with a deep dive into why it’s special. This week’s pick? The G-Shock GA2100-1A1 “CasiOak” – the minimalist icon that’s taking over Instagram.

You’ll find:

•Expert analysis of design, durability, and value

•Real user ratings (this one’s 4.8★ from 2,156 verified buyers)

•Styling tips for different occasions

•Direct Amazon links to snag the best deals

And Yes, There’s Merch Too

Here’s where it gets fun. If you’re a watch enthusiast like me, you don’t just wear watches – you live the lifestyle.

That’s why I partnered with RedBubble to bring you exclusive Legend Born 1983 merch:

The vibe? Minimalist tribute to the original 1983 G-Shock – the watch that redefined durability and style.

Why I Built This (And Why It Matters)

I’ve been obsessed with watches since I was a kid. The 1983 G-Shock was the first watch that made me realize a timepiece could be both functional and iconic.

But I noticed a problem: people struggle to find the right watch. There’s too much choice, too much noise, and not enough guidance.

So I built Legend Born 1983 as a one-stop destination for:

1.Finding your perfect watch (Watch Advisor)

2.Discovering weekly deals (Watch of the Week)

3.Repping the lifestyle (Merch on RedBubble & Etsy)

100 Sales on Etsy — A Milestone Worth Celebrating!

Watches & More just hit the big 100 sales on Etsy, and it’s not just about the numbers—it’s all about the love! Our friendly neighborhood watch enthusiast has poured their heart (and many late nights) into crafting artworks that blend horology with creativity. Think minimalist watch illustrations and nostalgic posters that even your grandfather might approve of. So thank you to everyone who made this milestone possible! More quirky designs are on the horizon, along with a promise to keep the watch-loving community wrist-deep in style. Time to celebrate—just don’t forget the cake isn’t a watch!

A heartfelt thank you from Watches & More

👉 Watches & More Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WatchesAndMoreShopCo

Reaching a milestone as a small creator is never just about numbers — it’s about people. Today, I’m incredibly proud (and honestly humbled) to share that Watches & More has officially surpassed 100 sales on Etsy!

This milestone represents more than transactions. It represents trust, passion, creativity, and the incredible community that has supported my shop since day one. Whether you purchased a design, favorited an item, shared a listing, or simply stopped by the shop out of curiosity — you helped make this moment possible. And for that, I genuinely thank you.

⭐ The Story Behind Watches & More

Watches & More began as a natural extension of my lifelong passion for horology. From the tough-as-nails G-Shocks to the elegance of Swiss automatics, I’ve always believed watches are more than machines — they’re stories we wear.

I wanted a place where those stories could transform into art:

  • Minimalist watch illustrations
  • Tribute pieces to iconic references
  • Retro-styled posters
  • T-shirts, stickers, and décor that celebrate watch culture

Every design is meant to capture the spirit, engineering, and emotion behind these timekeeping legends.

What started as a small creative project has gradually grown into a full catalog of designs for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the craft of watchmaking.

🎉 Reaching 100 Sales — Why It Matters

Reaching 100 sales is a powerful reminder of every late-night design session, every revision, every experiment, and every ounce of passion poured into this shop.

But the real magic? It’s knowing that 100 of you chose something I created to be part of your space, your outfit, your collection, or your gift to someone special.

That’s what makes this milestone meaningful.

This 100-sale mark tells me:

✔ The community is growing

✔ The designs resonate

✔ People feel connected to the watch-inspired artwork

✔ And the vision for this shop has a future worth building

⌚ Watch Culture Meets Creativity

The goal of this shop has always been to stand at the intersection of horology and art.

That means:

  • Designs inspired by legendary references like the G-Shock 5600, Seiko SKX, classic field watches, pilot watches, and more
  • Pieces that watch lovers instantly recognize — but anyone can appreciate
  • Artwork that respects the spirit of each timepiece without copying trademarked elements
  • A growing collection that evolves with the watch community itself

Watches bring people together — collectors, engineers, artists, hobbyists — and I’ve always wanted this shop to reflect that spirit.

💼 What’s Next for the Shop?

Hitting 100 sales is energizing — and it’s only the beginning.

Here’s what’s coming next:

🔧 New Watch-Themed Artwork

Expect:

  • More technical-style illustrations
  • Vintage poster aesthetics
  • Bold tribute designs
  • Minimalist dial-focused art
  • New collections themed around diver, field, digital, and aviation watches

🌐 Expanded presence on social media & WordPress

More articles, more behind-the-scenes content, and more watch-centric conversations.

And of course…

🧡 More milestones to celebrate — together.

🙏 A Genuine Thank You

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for helping Watches & More reach 100 Etsy sales.

Thank you for supporting a small creator. Thank you for loving watch culture. Thank you for being part of this journey.

And after months of testing and user feedback, we’ve just rolled out major updates that make it better than ever.

The Problem: Too Many Watches, Not Enough Guidance

The watch market is overwhelming. A quick Amazon search for “men’s watch” returns over 50,000 results. YouTube reviews, Reddit threads, and forum posts offer conflicting advice. Some enthusiasts swear by Swiss automatics, while others champion Japanese quartz. Price tags range from $20 to $20,000, with no clear indication of what you’re actually paying for.

Most people end up doing one of three things: buying the first watch that looks decent, spending hours researching and still feeling uncertain, or giving up entirely and sticking with their smartwatch.

There had to be a better way.

The Solution: A Smarter, Faster Way to Find Your Perfect Watch

The Watch Advisor solves this problem with a simple approach: answer four quick questions, get four perfect recommendations. No endless scrolling, no decision fatigue, just smart matches based on what actually matters to you.

How It Works

The experience is refreshingly simple. You answer four essential questions:

1.What’s your budget? From under $100 to $1,000-$2,000, we help you find the best value in your price range.

2.What style fits your life? Whether you need a rugged dive watch, an elegant dress watch, a tactical field watch, or something for everyday wear, we’ve got you covered.

3.How will you use it? Office professional? Outdoor adventurer? Fitness enthusiast? Your lifestyle determines which features matter most.

4.What features do you care about? Solar power? Automatic movement? Water resistance? Chronograph? Tell us what’s important, and we’ll prioritize it.

That’s it. Four questions, 60 seconds, done.

What Makes The Watch Advisor Different

1. Curated, Not Overwhelming

We don’t show you 50 watches and wish you luck. The Watch Advisor presents your top 4 matches with detailed explanations of why each one fits your criteria. Every recommendation includes a match percentage, key features, and a clear breakdown of what makes it right for you.

No more tab overload. No more analysis paralysis. Just four excellent options to choose from.

2. Hand-Selected Quality

Our database contains 71 carefully curated watches spanning five price tiers. These aren’t random Amazon listings — every watch has been selected for its value, reliability, and community reputation. From budget-friendly Casio classics to premium Swiss automatics from MIDO and Hamilton, each watch earns its place in the database.

3. Recent Updates That Make It Even Better

Based on user feedback, we’ve made significant improvements:

Streamlined Quiz: We cut the quiz from 7 questions down to 4 by removing unnecessary questions about wrist size and brand preference. The result? A faster, smoother experience that still delivers spot-on recommendations.

Focused Results: Instead of overwhelming you with 10+ options, we now show your top 4 matches. This focused approach makes decision-making easier while ensuring you see genuinely relevant watches.

Side-by-Side Comparison: Our newest feature lets you select up to three watches and compare them side-by-side in a clean modal. See prices, specifications, features, and descriptions all in one place — no more switching between tabs or trying to remember which watch had which feature.

Expanded Database: We’ve grown from 35 watches to 71, adding premium Swiss pieces from Victorinox and Alpina, affordable field watches from Timex and Citizen, and everything in between. More variety means better matches for every style and budget.

Real Results for Real People

The Watch Advisor serves a diverse audience:

First-time buyers get expert guidance without needing to learn watch terminology or spend hours researching. The quiz asks about your life, not about complications and calibers.

Enthusiasts discover value in new price ranges and styles they might not have considered. Even experienced collectors find hidden gems in our curated database.

Gift-givers can confidently choose a watch for someone else by answering questions about the recipient’s style and lifestyle. No more guessing or settling for generic options.

Why This Matters

The watch industry has a discovery problem. Enthusiasts rely on scattered forum posts and YouTube reviews. Newcomers feel intimidated by jargon and overwhelmed by options. The Watch Advisor bridges this gap by offering expert curation in a format that respects your time and intelligence.

You don’t need to know the difference between a Miyota 9015 and an ETA 2824 to find a great watch. You just need to know what you like, how you’ll use it, and what you can spend. The Watch Advisor handles the rest.

What’s Next

We’re constantly improving The Watch Advisor based on user behavior and feedback. Coming soon:

•Expanding to 75+ watches with more options for women and additional styles

•Filter and sort controls so you can refine results by specific features

•Save Favorites to bookmark watches and revisit them later

•Shareable results so you can send recommendations to friends or come back to them on another device

Try It Today

Whether you’re in the market for your first automatic watch, looking to upgrade, or searching for the perfect gift, The Watch Advisor can help you find it in under a minute.

🕶️ Legend Born 1983 — When Design, Durability, and Legacy Became One

In 1983, Kikuo Ibe dropped his pocket watch, leading him on a quest to create the unbreakable G-Shock. After 200 prototypes and a sprinkle of determination, the world was graced with a watch that could survive anything, even your clumsy aunt’s relentless hugs. This incredible timepiece not only ticks but also teaches us that failures can spark innovation, just like that time you attempted baking and ended up with a smoky mess instead of cookies. The “Legend Born 1983” design is a cheeky nod to this philosophy, reminding us that true resilience doesn’t just tell time; it transcends it—and trends too!

In 1983, the world of watches changed forever. That was the year Kikuo Ibe, a Japanese engineer at Casio, dropped his pocket watch — and it shattered.

That single moment of frustration sparked a mission: to design a watch that would never break again.

After years of experimentation, hundreds of prototypes, and one unrelenting pursuit of perfection, the first G-Shock was born — a digital watch that redefined what toughness could look like. It wasn’t just another gadget; it was a symbol of resilience, purpose, and precision engineering.

⚙️ The Inspiration Behind the Artwork

My latest Redbubble design, “Legend Born 1983”, is my creative homage to that moment in time — the birth of an icon that continues to inspire creators, engineers, and dreamers alike.

The design captures the unmistakable silhouette of the classic G-Shock, rendered in minimalist vector form, with one powerful message displayed on its digital face: “LEGEND BORN 1983.”

It’s a celebration of durability and design discipline — the kind of innovation that outlives trends and continues to define generations.

🎨 Explore the design here: 👉 Legend Born 1983 on Redbubble

🧠 Why the G-Shock Philosophy Still Matters Today

The G-Shock was more than a tough watch — it was a statement about what engineering with purpose can achieve.

Every creative professional, designer, or entrepreneur has faced a version of Kikuo Ibe’s broken watch moment — a failure that becomes the seed of invention. The difference lies in how we respond to it.

The G-Shock’s development process wasn’t glamorous. It took over 200 failed prototypes before success struck. But in that persistence was a powerful message:

Innovation is built on resilience. Perfection comes from patience. And true design withstands time.

That’s the same energy that fuels art, entrepreneurship, and craftsmanship today — the drive to make something that lasts.

⌚ The Real Legend Lives On

If you want to experience the heritage firsthand, the Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V is the spiritual successor to the original 1983 model. It’s simple, strong, and unapologetically utilitarian — the embodiment of that “unbreakable” vision. Casio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1VCasio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1VCasio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1VCasio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1VCasio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1VCasio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1VCasio Men’s G-Shock Classic Digital Watch DW5600E-1V

👉 Buy the Classic G-Shock on Amazon

Wearing it isn’t just about telling time — it’s about remembering what time taught us. It’s a wearable reminder that toughness isn’t just physical; it’s philosophical.

🕰️ Design That Outlasts Trends

We live in a world of constant updates — where devices, apps, and even aesthetics are outdated within months. But the G-Shock stands in quiet defiance of that culture. It hasn’t needed a redesign. It hasn’t lost relevance.

Why? Because it was built with intention — to solve a real problem, not to chase attention.

That’s the kind of design thinking we can all learn from, whether we’re engineers, artists, or entrepreneurs. It’s about building something timeless.

That idea — that durability is a form of beauty — is what inspired this artwork. The “Legend Born 1983” design is more than a tribute; it’s a statement of philosophy.

💬 Final Thoughts

The Casio G-Shock wasn’t just born in 1983 — it redefined toughness.

Forty years later, its story still reminds us that true durability — whether in design, business, or life — isn’t just about surviving. It’s about enduring with purpose.

That’s the spirit behind the artwork. That’s what makes it legendary.

Whether you’re into G-Shocks, Rolexes, or ultra-rare microbrands known only to five people, this design celebrates our addiction. So embrace your inner watch hoarder and chuckle at the endless justifications for your collection. Your wallet might not laugh, but you will!

There’s a moment every watch collector knows too well. You’re scrolling through listings, minding your business… and then you see it. That one watch you didn’t know you needed — until five seconds ago.

Your logical brain says, “You already have too many.” But your collector’s heart says, “Yes, but not this one.”

And so it begins — again. 😅

This design was made for that moment. Bold, funny, and unapologetic, “Yes I Do Need Another Watch” captures the pure essence of watch addiction — that blend of passion, humor, and helpless justification we all share.

Whether you’re into G-Shocks, Seikos, Rolexes, Omegas, or microbrands that only five people on the planet know about — this one’s for you. Because the truth is, we don’t just collect watches. We collect stories, craftsmanship, and that indescribable feeling of strapping time itself onto our wrist.

⚡💥 Rugged Watch Survives Chaos, Human Might Not! 💥⚡

Meet “Rugged Explorer and the Indestructible G-Shock,” the comic artwork that perfectly captures the struggle of surviving nature while wearing a watch that could probably survive a nuclear blast. Our intrepid adventurer is battling the elements with rain, lightning, and chaos—while muttering, “My G-Shock will survive, not sure about me!” This trusty Casio has been the go-to gear for anyone from explorers to survivalists, proving that sometimes the gear is tougher than the human spirit (or lack thereof). Now available in a variety of merch, because let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to wear a badge of indestructibility?

That’s the spirit behind my latest comic-inspired artwork: “Rugged Explorer and the Indestructible G-Shock.”

💥 Picture this: a determined adventurer scaling a mountainside, rain pouring, lightning cracking, chaos all around.

The caption reads: “My G-Shock will survive, not sure about me!”

It’s funny, but it’s also true. The Casio G-Shock has earned its reputation as virtually indestructible. For decades, it’s been the trusted companion of explorers, military, survivalists, and anyone who pushes beyond limits.

This design is more than just a watch tribute — it’s about resilience, toughness, and the humor we find when facing challenges bigger than ourselves.
