Father's wish

 Part 1

   This is my artifact.

This is a wrist watch and one product of “G-SHOCK” . This product’s name is “G-STEEL” . It’s color is silver and blue. I think that the fusion of analog clock and digital clock is beautiful. G-SHOCK products are tougher than almost all wrist watches.( Of course you know, there are some exceptions in the world) This watch’ face is bigger than a general watch’s face. However, my hands are bigger than a general person’s hands. So, this watch is suitable for me.This watch charges the battery from solar and fixes the wrong time itself by catching radio waves. So, I need not to adjust the watch’s time. It is very comfortable.

Part 2

    First, I will describe the reason why I got the wrist watch.  My father bought a wrist watch for me on my twelfth birthday. That one was the first wrist watch in my life. I wore a wrist watch almost every day. However, the wrist watch was broken when I was 15.  But, my junior high school had some broken wall clocks. So, I felt inconvenienced when I had to do an exam in the room with a broken clock. After I entered high school, my father bought this wrist watch for my celebration of admission. I feel so happy because I wanted to be looked at by adults when I was in the first grade of high school. 

   Second, I will describe the reason why my father bought a wrist watch for me twice. One day, I asked my father about that. Then, “ I want you to become a person who can keep time. If you don’t keep time at once, you may lose both your credit and trust. Also, it is very difficult to regain the credit and trust that you lost. And I want you to become a man who looks good on a wrist watch. I think the man who looks good on a wrist watch is a very adult male. “ he said with a serious face. After that, I was impressed by his talk. At the same time, I realized again that my father is not just my father, but also a senior in life as a man for me who is the most familiar since I was born.

 

Part 3                             

     These days, many people don’t wear wrist watches. One of the reasons is that they can check the time using their own smartphone. However, we may meet a situation where we can’t check our own smartphone. For example, studying in class, doing an exam, walking on the streets, and so on.  And these situations often have wrong clocks or no clocks. In addition, we may have to sit in a seat that is difficult to see from the room’s watch because of the seating order of the exam.  If people who don’t wear wrist watches everyday meet those situations,  they may not be able to get out of their ability. And many people can’t be patient using other apps when they check the time using their own smartphone. It causes not only a lack of concentration, but also smartphone addiction. That's the problem held by modern society.  

    Wrist watch is not only a tool to check the time, but also one of the fashion accessories. Of course, we can choose a bracelet  too. That's also good. However, a bracelet can function only one way, that is fashion accessory. On the other hand, wrist watches can function in an extra way that can check the time. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.
