Timex Easy Reader 40th Anniversary Edition

I found this one as I am browsing the web to look for a good and affordable watch. I read that most of the casual user prefer Timex easy reader as an everyday watch. The size is not big which will quitely slips through cuffs. The face is easy to read and indiglo is dependable companion during night or when the light is low. 

I checked www.amazon.com and found the 40th edition which I think is better that buying the non-edition model. The price is just right for people with shallow pocket like me. What I did not consider is the shipping which almost cost the same as the price! I am buying fromwww.amazon.com US and shipping the item to Philippines via www.my-shoppingbox.com. The reason why I forced to buy from www.amazon.com is because the Timex store in the Manila doesn't have yet the edition stock.

After a couple of weeks, I received the watch. It has a soft leather band with red keeper and red at the edge of the band which make it look a bit premium. The face is white with very easy to read arabic numbers. The hour and minute arms are black with second arm in red. The band has 18mm width which will look like a toy watch for anyone with a big arm. Luckily, my arm is small which is a good size for this watch. I think this watch will look stunning if I change the band to stainless.

At back of the watch is the 40th anniversary stamped into it.




Red color at the end of the band and 'T' on the crown.

Manual Coffee Grinder

As usual, lazada tempted me again to spend my hard earned cash. Looking at the site, I found something that I really wanted to own; a manual coffee grinder. Yes! A coofee grinder that I will enable me to brew freshly grinded coffee. I used to buy coffee beans from Starbucks and let them grind it. A 250 gms would last me more than 2 weeks. At the end of the second week, tastes start to change. It lacks the freshness of newky grinded coffee which what makes people crave for it.

To brew a fresh grinded coffee, you have to have a grinder. Electric ones cost more than 2 thousand! That is way beyond my budget. Luckily, I found an affordable alternative albeit manual.

The grinder cost 480 pesos including the shipping fee. I got it after a couple of days and used it immediately. It has ceramic ‘teeth’ and a crank which double as hand exercise machine. One full grinding is enough for 3 cups of coffee but for a lighter brewing, 5 cups I think.

So, for coffee lovers; it is one of the must haves to own.

Regular packaging, doesn't look expensive.













Cranking is easy but doing it for 3 - 5 minutes hurt a bit though.
