Long weekends – who does not like them?
Many definitely treasure the long weekends. Most of us take the rare opportunity to do something that we like, such as taking a short trip, catching up with friends, or even simply just lazing at home with a book or a good movie.
Naturally, when it comes to watches, we will tend to wear something simple or casual as well. Nothing too fanciful or with complication. So, what are some of the watch recommendations that we have chosen for the long weekend? Let’s find out!
Swatch Irony Sistem51
The Sistem Fly is one of the six pieces from the new Sistem51 Irony collection.
The first watch that we have today is the Swatch Sistem51 – a watch that combines fun, and an interesting horological story behind it.
As some might have known, Swatch is a portmanteau of “second watch”. It is meant to be a fun and casual timepiece for the weekends, after a supposedly tiring week where one is constantly dressed up and spending most of his or her waking hours doing work. But Swatch watches in the past do not appeal to many collectors, simply because it is mostly fitted with a Quartz movement. But it all changed when Swatch launched the Sistem51. The watch is revolutionary, in which the movements are completely manufactured by machines, and it requires only one screw to hold all the components. It has a respectable power reserve of around 90 hours as well.
The prices for the new Irony Sistem51 collection begins at S$ 279, and there are multiple designs for the collectors to choose from. It is certainly an interesting piece to add into one’s collection, especially if one is looking to dress down on a long weekend.
Casio G-Shock GA-700
The Casio G-Shock GA-700. An unbelievably durable and robust timepiece.
The Casio G-Shock is an iconic watch, and one that is often synonymous with quality and robustness. The latest addition to the line-up, GA-700, certainly embodies the values of G-Shock rather brilliantly.
The GA-700 combines both digital and analogue display, featuring a multitude of functions. It includes a stop-watch, world-time display, an alarm – to name a few. The watch comes with a rather tough look as well, which includes a rugged bezel, as well as tough button guards to the bold buttons around the case. It certainly has the G-Shock DNA, and its functionality is a plus-point as well.
Priced at S$ 169, we feel that the G-Shock GA-700 is an extremely reasonably priced timepiece. It is robust, and its features are definitely useful. This is certainly a good watch to take along for a short trip over the long weekends.

Next up, we have another iconic timepiece from an iconic watch manufacturer. Cue the Seiko Automatic Divers PADI Edition, which is based on the legendary Seiko “Turtle” Diver Watch.
The watch, which was launched in last year’s Baselworld, is a collaboration between Seiko and PADI. PADI is the world’s leading scuba diver training […]
