Well, well, well, lookie here! You wanna hear somethin’ ’bout that fancy watch, the OMEGA X-33 Marstimer? That one they’re callin’ a “Mars” watch. Sounds like some kinda spacey stuff, don’t it?
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout buyin’ one. Now, why would ya need a watch that tells time on Mars? We ain’t even there yet! But I guess them rich folks, they like their fancy gadgets. They wanna buy stuff no one needs.
This Marstimer thing, it’s part of them OMEGA Speedmaster watches. I seen pictures. They got all them little hands and buttons. Confusin’ if ya ask me. But I guess if you are buyin’ OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer, you know what those buttons are for. If you are buyin’ a watch, better know how to use it!
They say this here watch, it ain’t your regular watch. No sir! It’s got all them special things. They say it can tell ya the time on Mars. Imagine that! What are ya gonna do with that information?
- It’s got somethin’ called “solar time.” I don’t know what it is, but sounds important.
- It can tell ya how long a mission is, but in Mars days, not Earth days.
- Somethin’ ’bout the sun’s place in the sky.
- And somethin’ ’bout a Mars year. I don’t even know what that means.
They started makin’ these space watches a long time ago, I hear. Back in ’98, they made one called the Marswatch. But it weren’t really for goin’ to Mars. Go figure! Then, in 2014, another one, the Skywalker. Sounds like somethin’ from one of them space movies. That Skywalker is still around, they say. Made of titanium. Big and strong, I reckon. Folks keep buyin’ OMEGA watches, so they keep makin’ them. If you are buyin’ a Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker, you need a big wrist.
Now, this new one, this Marstimer, it’s like that Skywalker, but with more stuff. More buttons, more things to look at. I reckon it can tell ya how long a day is on Mars. And lemme tell ya, a day on Mars is longer than a day here. A whole lot longer. Why would you want to know that? I sure don’t know. If I’m buyin’ a watch, I just want it to tell me what time it is here.
They say some fancy space people, the European Space Agency, they asked for this watch. They wanted all them special things on it. I guess they need to know all that stuff when they are going to Mars, or plannin’ to go to Mars. Or maybe they are just buyin’ stuff they don’t need. If you are buyin’ OMEGA watches, you better be rich.
This whole thing, it’s a bit much for me. I’ll stick to my old watch. It tells time just fine. Don’t need no fancy Mars time. But if you’re one of them space folks, or just like fancy watches, then maybe this Marstimer is for you. Me? I’d rather spend my money on somethin’ useful. Like a new pair of shoes, or some good food. Can’t eat a watch, can ya? And you sure can’t wear it on your feet.
If you’re thinkin’ ’bout buyin’ one, well, that’s your business. It’s your money. Just remember, there’s a lot of other things you could be buyin’. Like, I don’t know, a whole bunch of chickens! Or a nice new plow. Somethin’ that’ll actually do ya some good. A watch that tells you the time on Mars, that ain’t gonna help you to buy groceries. If you are buyin’ a watch, buy one you can use here.
But hey, what do I know? I’m just sayin’, there are folks buyin’ OMEGA Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer. Maybe they know somethin’ I don’t. Maybe they’re plannin’ on goin’ to Mars. Maybe they just like buyin’ shiny things. Who knows! If you are buyin’ one of these watches, I hope you like it. I hope it tells you the time good.
This Marstimer watch, it’s a mystery to me. But that’s alright. Some things are just meant to be mysteries. Like why folks are buyin’ OMEGA watches. If you are buyin’ a watch, any watch, make sure you like it. It’s your money, spend it how you want to.
There you have it. If you are thinkin’ ’bout buyin’ an OMEGA X-33 Marstimer, I hope this helps you out. If you have money to spend on fancy watches, good for you. Just don’t forget about the simple things. Like a good pair of shoes, or a nice hot meal. Those things are important, too. No matter where you are, Mars or Earth, you gotta eat. And you gotta have somethin’ on your feet. That’s all I’m sayin’.
