The rule of thumb should be to spend more on your watch than the phone.

So if your iphone cost 70K, then you should spend more on the watch.

Rules of thumbs are set by the manufucturers/retailers/businesses to push their products! I thought everyone knew this.

Ever heard of this classical "rule of thumb":

You should spend six months* salary on an engagement ring.

*Or three months depending on who is quoting the "rule" and to whom!

I thought it was 6 weeks wages for an engagement ring.

But think about it, why spend 70K on an Iphone that will burn out in 6 months, but only 7K on a watch that basically defines you.

swatch

Nice watch. Got one 15 years ago as a present and it still works. Got bored of it, put it some place for a couple of years, fished it out later, got it a new battery and it got back to business!

Does it retail in Kenya though. Haven't seen it being sold anywhere.

@Pariah,seconded.
I love swatch.The one i have i bought it in 06,changed the battery once and it's in perfect shape.

I would advice the person interested in buying a watch to go to swatch online and select one that suits his/her pocket. But the budget should be raised to 10k for a decent swatch. Check 2010/11 editions,2012 ones bei iko juu.

About there availability here,i'm yet to see any genuine dealer around.

Buying a nice watch doesn't mean you are spendthrift.Could be your phone cost much more than the watch. Mind you, a phone you keep on buying a new one every two years or so,whilst a nice watch lasts a lifetime,if not lost/stolen.
I'd rather spend more on a watch than a phone.
