I’ve always been hesitant to jump on the smartwatch bandwagon. It’s not because I don’t like smartwatches (I religiously wear the Garmin Instinct Solar), but because I prefer the symbolic nostalgia of analog. Every stroke of the sweeping second’s hand feels like an eternity in which I could exist forever, detached from life’s anxieties. And yet, as my vintage timepiece collection grows, I still find myself drawn to modern analogs like the Fossil Ledger, which just so happens to be on sale.
Perfect for casual affairs from the office to the après-work drink, the Ledger’s quartz movements are wonderfully precise and pair with a stainless steel case. The leather buckle, meanwhile, adds a touch of sophistication to every ensemble, but you can swap it with one of Fossil’s many watch straps at a moment’s notice. Pick up this classic timepiece to refine your collection just as I have, or gift it to the friend that’s forever lost in their smartwatch.
