10% OFF on these Casio watches during Shopee’s Fashion Friday

I've been a fan of Casio since I was a kid. I think I still have my original digital piece at home, but I would probably have to find time to find it, heck it's been years since I haven't used that. These days, I've given my attention to the latest G-Shock lines which are more practical, very tough, enough to fall off a building and still won't break. 

The man who invented it (dubbed as the Father of G-Shock) was here a couple years ago. He told us how he started and why he was solving a pretty simple problem that was hounding a whole enchilada of watch wearers and how they could wear it outdoors, with an active life, one that could be worn everyday. The old ones get scratched, a little too high maintenance and can't be worn when perspiring ensues. Anyway, we all know now how good a G-Shock is. What's even better is that Casio's got their official Shopee store now and watches can now be bought online via the Shopee app.

We took a little tour and checked out their wares, I have to tell you, some of them made me drool. I like the resin bands, how it is shock resistant, and even have 200 meter water resistance. Each piece has a their own look but the must have features are all there, with some having more than others so consumers always have a choice. Check them out here!

You won't even have to walk, drive and put yourself in harms way and just be delivered to your door in a few days. Maybe you can start here to download the Shopee app.

Oh and don't let me stop you because the 9.9 Sale is near. 

There’s a Garmin for Everyone at Shopee

Athletes and health freaks often think of one brand when it comes to fitness watches and that is Garmin. I’ve heard about this from office mates who run, bike and do triathlons, I asked myself back then if the price was worth it because it does have a premium look and feel when I got to try it out in Singpore a few years back. Top of the line watches always have certain attributes that certainly make it a cut above the rest. Garmin has definitely done a good job providing accurate information on GPS, heart rate, to check your pace, distance and how many intervals you’ve done. It’s also a smart watch which connects to your phone, checks messages, plays music so you don’t have to take out bulky stuff when you workout.

It also supports activities particularly running, cycling, indoor track, treadmill, elliptical, cardio, yoga, which you can all do at the comforts of your home. Or in conditions you can go back to the gym or workout places. It tracks your progress, all and beyond things you ask for a smart phone, fitness band plus a whole community (via Garmin Connect). It also stays ON for 7 days as a smartwatch.

Looking at Shopee the other day, I felt Dads and boyfriends would figure this would be the perfect opportunity to purchase them as they’ve got several Garmin models in different price points. Now it’s more affordable, delivery is a breeze because yes, it’s all on the official store on the Shopee App. And really, there’s no excuse not to workout. There’s even these nice sports watches that fit your budget.Go download Shopee app from the App Store or Google Play.

ORIS Showcases Luxury Pieces at Greenbelt 5

ORIS, the well known luxury brand of Swiss watches originated in the town of Holstein. They’ve been available in the Philippines for a couple of years now and during a very classy evening with gentlemen, ladies from the media converged at Greenbelt 5’s event center for a new campaign they’re launching. All with some pretty and finely crafted watches to boot.

Michael Myer ORIS’ Manager for APAC says “Today we want to talk about water, about forests, it’s where our factory is. Nature is inspiring us, it has been there for more than a hundred years. It is about mechanical watch making, it is affordable but very high quality concentrating on machinery to be a step ahead. Today what hasn’t changed is creating time pieces that are nice and of high quality. This has been our ambition from the start (he showed a watch from 1940’s), we are trying to keep that heritage and make sure to keep this identity going. This is our new story called The Big Crown. It can go to streams, automatic, we have very historic designs including our gold diving watches. We also encourage everyone to go our own way, just like our own company. We also have very special projects for the Baikal Lake, the Pacific Ocean, the Great Barrier Reef, also about matters on over fishing (Oris Blue Whale). We want to share the story so we made boxes, back of watches with plastic from PET bottles. This is our Trilogy set! It is what we do, we also did the Tubbataha years ago. Now Go Your Own Way! Thank you!”

Check out the pieces we saw at the event!
