Back in second or third grade, I received an item that is very important to me and I use this item every day whether I’m at school or out of the house. This item was given to me by my uncle on a Saturday for a family dinner at my grandparents' house in Oakland. This item was a G-Shock GA-100 watch. Since my uncle doesn’t use watches anymore, he gave it to me. Before I got this watch, I did have those cheap watches from Walmart, so I was familiar with some of the functions on a watch. The day I got the watch, I immediately put it on my wrist. It had tons of functions like water-resistance, shock-resistance, a stopwatch, digital-analog and date, alarm, and other functions(including an orange light where the 6 analog hand is and glow in the dark analog hands). It was very advanced at cool at the time I had received it. As of right now, it is $100. This would mean that back then when it was first released in 2010 in Japan, it was very expensive. This model was also very popular back then.
Now back to when I got home at the end of Saturday. I remember that the watch had my uncle's cologne so I had to air it out. That smell lasted for like five months. After wearing it every day at school, eventually, it went away. That Monday after receiving my watch, I showed all my friends and they were amazed because it was pretty expensive at the time and I owned one. From that day on, I have kept it in decent condition. There might be some dings and scratches, but everything inside works. The only time I repair it is when the battery dies which has been changed maybe three times. It’s a wonderful watch and I hope to keep it forever.

The watch sounds really cool, and I can tell that it makes you happy. It’s satisfying whenever you own an object that helps you and provides you a sense of comfort. Something so simple can spark an unbreakable bond. It’s amazing that you still have the watch after all these years; you still having it shows your loyalty and how much you rely on it.
