Hi Christine, I blogged ya here:

I would love to be entered into this giveaway. I'd love to win this for my hubby. He really needs a watch, his got lost when we moved and he needs one for work. For some reason they do not have a clock in the sushi bar and he really could use this! thanks for an awesome giveaway.
June 12, 2008 11:14 PM
Oooo... my hubby would love to win this watch!! He totally deserves it because he loves watches, but refrains from buying his faves due to budget. This would be a lovely gift. Thanks!

My man needs this because he's been complaining that he needs a new watch for months. His has been permanently damaged by drywall mud and paint. He's a carpenter. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Hubby needs a new watch, baby needs new shoes and mama's gotta figure out how to get 'em.
Last week, his prized Swiss watch bit the proverbial dust and so yes, he is in need of more time. He's a great dad, a great friend, great hubby that doesn't get a fraction of what he deserves!
June 13, 2008 4:08 AM
and again, you are buttoned up in my sidebar! and very cutely, i might add!
June 13, 2008 6:25 AM
My husband definitely needs a watch for the simple fact that he never knows what time it is! It drives me crazy that he is always late!
June 13, 2008 6:43 AM
the button's on my side bar too!
June 13, 2008 8:17 AM
I'd love this for my sweetie... he could use it because he feels "naked" without a watch - and his current (and only) watch is currently dead. It's all scuffed and scratched up and you can tell it's had years of good wear. I bought it for him for Christmas one year. I know he won't buy his own - so unless I get him a new one... he's without, for now.
June 13, 2008 8:17 AM
You button is still on my sidebar =)
June 13, 2008 10:23 AM
My husband definitely needs a new watch. He broke his recently. Thanks for the chance.
June 13, 2008 10:26 AM
My poor husband definitely needs more time! A new watch would be the closest I could get to giving it to him!
June 13, 2008 11:47 AM
The special guy in my life is my son Nick. He turns 22 today on Friday the 13th! He needs a watch badly to help him be on time! And...it would be a great birthday present now...wouldnt it?
June 13, 2008 11:52 AM
The very first gift that I ever gave my hubby was a watch - which was stolen just a few months later and he hasn't had one in the almost 10 years since. I'd love to give him this one! :)

June 13, 2008 12:08 PM
My husband could use a new watch because neither of the watches he has are good for everyday use and he deserves to have a good watch to wear daily because he's such a good dad and husband! This watch looks really neat. I truly do not understand why men think atomic-regulated clocks are so cool, but they really do. I'm sure he would really like this. Thanks for the opportunity! uke9000 (at) gmail (dot) com
June 13, 2008 12:11 PM
I'd love to win this for my husband. He never likes to be late!
June 13, 2008 12:16 PM
I would love this for my husband - and we definitely would like MORE time in the day. Since our son came into our lives, we miss our couple time.

I literally ruined my husbands watch by running over it with the lawnmower...this would be perfect! Thanks!
June 13, 2008 12:37 PM
I would love to give this watch to my Dad. He owns 1 watch that he wears all the time. This one would be a great substitute for the one he currently wears. My Dad is the greatest and he deserves this "gift of time" for all that he does for me and my two little ones.
Thanks.

My husband needs more time in the day, between me and the 3 kids and the house he never gets it all done! He would love this watch.
June 13, 2008 1:02 PM
My hubby is a school principal- he REALLY needs to keep track of time!
June 13, 2008 1:08 PM
Oh boy does my hubby need the gift of time! He gets so easily swept up in whatever project he's involved in and he always loses track of time. Perhaps if he owned a neat watch like this, he'd remember to call and tell me when he'll be home for dinner!

My husband needs the alarms on it. Are alarm clocks seem to have issues and this would be a great back up. My husband has to be awake for work at 2am and sometimes earlier. Also it would be great for him to know what time it is during the day when we are out shopping. I also love the atomic setting which would make it so much easier.

My husband could really use more time! He always seems like he has a million things going on.
June 13, 2008 2:07 PM
My hubby could use a watch. His watchband broke on his last watch a couple of years ago, and he hasn't replaced it yet.
June 13, 2008 2:07 PM
My husband and I share childcare responsibilities, so we're always aware of the time!
June 13, 2008 2:13 PM
We have a new baby at home, and my husband is beginnig to realize how important "family time" is to him each day. "Every minute I'm stuck in traffic," he said the other day over the phone, "is a minute away from our baby!" How sweet is that?!?
June 13, 2008 2:16 PM
It's a good thing that my husband is such a great guy, or his one flaw might become a problem. I cannot recall a single instance when he has been on time; ever. My daughters and I are his human clock. We call, prod, and remind him what time it is all day long. A watch this good looking might be the positive reinforcement he needs to become a more timely individual. Then he would be perfect!
June 13, 2008 2:17 PM
I would love this for my dad cos he loves watches but never buys anything for himself! The cooler the watch the better..so this would be perfect!
Thanks!

Well...my darling husband doesn't currently wear a watch, but is a SAHD/WAHD for our two young boys. Trust me--- he NEEDS a good watch!
June 13, 2008 2:53 PM
My husband's watch broke a few years back, but we haven't managed to put it in the budget to replace it. He pretty much lives on approximate time now, unless he is at home or in his car, where there is some other way to tell time besides a watch. He could sure use one for work.

My guy would totally love this watch.
Time is very precious to my guy, as it is to many others I am sure. But he is special to us. When we married, we always said we would work towards a first home and the ability for me to stay home.
We purchased our home 90 miles away from our jobs on the beautiful Jersey Shore and within 3 months he was true to his word. I fulfilled my lifetime dream of being a SAHM.
Going from two to one income wasn't easy. And the commute is brutal. Especially in the summers when traffic to the shore are at an all time high.
He looks fondly to quiting time in order to make the mad dash to the bus terminal to make the grueling ride back home just so he can be home in time to have dinner and a short playtime with the kids before they go off to bed.
He could have looked for work closer to home, but that would have meant me returning to the workforce earlier than we planned. He refuses to do that. "Nothing replaces the loving care of a parent."
And although we may not spend as much time with him as we would like, we cherish the time we do spend together as a family.
June 13, 2008 3:55 PM
My hubby's old watch is falling to pieces and this one will more than make up for it!
June 13, 2008 4:14 PM
he is always late so this may help him to be on time :)
thanks!

He needs a watch because we don't have clocks in our house other than the alarm clocks. I'm not sure why. I guess they've gradually broken over the years but we've never replaced them. The watch would prevent him from having to run upstairs to the second floor to check the time.
June 13, 2008 5:35 PM
My husband HAS been given the gift of time...just last year he had hemorragic dengue fever when we were working in Asia. He recieved 3 blood transfusions and 3 bags of plasma...he survived, and 11 months later we were blessed with our second son. Two miracles!
And, on the practical side, his current watch is broken, so this would be a cool prize!

Dang, his one fault is that he's always late. He could really use an accurate watch!
June 13, 2008 6:32 PM
Evening, I could go on and on about my husband. He is a great husband and dad to our two sons! He works hard at his job and around our home. We just celebrated our 22nd Anniversary on
May 31st! He has a very old, beat up
watch because he says he doesn't have the money to buy one for himself. I have had a spending problem and now belong to Debtor's Anonymous". There are not too many men who would still be with me. He is still paying off loans at work from bailing me out! If this isn't a forgiving man, I don't know who is. Please enter me in your fabulous drawing. I appreciate it!
Thanks, Cindi

My husband could definitely use more time. He works two jobs and is always working so hard to provide for his family. This would be a fantastic gift! Thanks!
June 13, 2008 7:23 PM
my hubby has wanted one of these watches for as long as I can remember. He thinks they are neat and hasn't been able to buy one. His Timex recently broke while at work, and he hasn't replaced it, he just keeps it (without the band as that is what broke!) in his pocket but it has been such a pain for him to keep pulling that old, beat up watch from his pocket every so often to check the time. He's a great dad and hubby, so please enter me in your great drawing!
June 13, 2008 7:24 PM
My hubby is usually on time so I'd have to say he needs more of it. We have our hands full with two kids under two and I think he could use some more free time to do whatever he feels like. This watch looks so cool and I know he'd love it as a Father's Day gift:)
June 13, 2008 7:28 PM
Hi Christine, I would love to win this watch for my Dad! He's not around here much because he works two jobs and provides for the family. He's done so much for my Mom with her health problems and everything. I would like to give him this watch as a reminder of how precious time is with his loved ones.

Since the dad in this house has to commute to work early and leave work late, he needs a watch that could perhaps remind him that it's time to wake up early and do some yoga. He can barely touch his toes!
June 13, 2008 10:38 PM
After 4 years of begging, my husband finally got a watch. It just broke - I am afraid now that we are watching our money more with a new baby on the way, he will not buy a new one! Help!!

My husband needs the gift of time to get some more sleep. He gets to sleep in to 4:30 am (he used to get up at 12:30 am). He loves reading to his girls at night but has been know to fall asleep while reading a book (sometimes more than once). Plus he would look very cool wearing this watch

It's my hubby's first father's day, and he has been so great with the baby! (and me!) He takes care of her while I go sleep, it's a wonderful thing. His old watch recently broke so he's been wearing his really nice, dressy one all the time and he was SO annoyed when he scratched the face recently. This one looks much more durable!
June 14, 2008 5:53 AM
I would actually get this for my husbands dad. He needs a new watch and this is right up his alley. Thanks.

This would be perfect for my Dad.
June 14, 2008 10:17 AM
My husband would love this watch. He is a Military Police officer and he needs to be able to check the time to see when its time to come home to his family. Because me and the 4 kids miss him so much when he is off working and keeping our community safe.
June 14, 2008 12:27 PM
My husband doesn't have a watch! At all! So he could definitely use some help with timekeeping! Hope this is open to Canadians!
June 14, 2008 1:30 PM
I would love to give this to my husband. As a first time dad and a stay at home one he needs all the help he can get.
June 14, 2008 3:37 PM
My husband works a lot to help us keep up with the prices in this economy. He needs a new watch but it's just not in the budget right now. This is a really nice watch. He usually only spends about $20.00for a watch so this would be very upscale for him.
June 14, 2008 3:53 PM
My hubby is an ironworker, so he works 80 hour weeks sometimes, which leaves no time with the kids or myself. So, he and I are definitely always in need of more time!

June 14, 2008 8:45 PM
All Dad's need the gift of time. My husband has proven his ultimate worth this weekend taking care of me. Rotten on Father's day and all. But I plan to give him a weekend away, with LOTS OF TIME....
