This is my Slow Watch review. The Slow Watch brand provided me with a sample product for the purpose of trying it out. It in no way shaped my opinions.
There’s been something weighing heavy on my heart over the last few weeks. Time. It’s literally evaporating before my eyes. I don’t mean this in an exaggerate form, it really is. I think 2016 is the fastest I’ve ever seen a year go by. As I approached my birthday on July 1, I made myself a promise to slow down before the year turned to dust.
It was just in time when Slow Watch came to me about endorsing one of their watches. Sure I get hundreds of requests a week to endorse things, but this one stood out. When I went to their site I saw their mission and it completely moved me. It goes a little something like this:
slow watches were created to shift the way people read time. So rather than focusing on the second or the minute we have produced an instrument that measures the moment.
So that was that, I was on a mission to “slow down” and measure my moments.
Slow Watch was Just in Time
I really connected with this movement and of course took them up on trying one out, but not just for the purpose of writing this Slow Watch review. What I found most important was the entire concept.
So, I set out to spend more time with my son; at the park, holding hands, taking naps together… I couldn’t believe how much I had missed. And for what? To write an extra article, or post something on twitter for a few bucks? These we the moments he would remember. That I would remember. The moments that make life, alive.
