Morning walks with Seiko

We went back to the bay today, to a rarely-visited spit of land from which we could see downtown San Diego in the distance. There was another one of those big trees that make nice postcard photos  (when there are not too many trash bins, fire rings and toilet facilities). A runner is ok. We saw a wakeboarding guy who was doing tricks, jumps, flips and skiing up out of the water backwards. This was a real treat -- some bottlenose dolphin who live in the bay but rarely show themselves! Perhaps they are pretending to be sharks, to scare the tourists and water-skiiers back onto dry land! We saw the same team of college runners who had come out to practice on Wednesday. My wife talked to them for a while and gave them some training tips (she was a Physical Ed professor, and used to coach track, field and cross country teams). Eventually their leader blew the whistle and they raced off across the park ... giving me the chance for a photo.   Oh yes, I wore this one -- an early versio...

I am sorry to read that some people on my watch website have been suffering glitches or blemishes with your Seikos. I have had none of that with today's watch.  We’re walking along a section of beach we've never walked before. It’s very busy for 8:15 in the am on a weekday in October!

It features an electric-generator (kinetic), with quartz controller, combined with a mechanical stopwatch mechanism.

Credor is a dressy, high-end sub-brand of Seiko. I'm wearing a different one today as we walk along the shoreline in Mission Bay, near San Diego (downtown is in the far distance behind those two trees). This watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, power reserve, and Phase of the Moon. The moon is shown by a silver disc fastened to a mother-of-pearl disc which revolves beneath an opening in the dial. It's very striking in the right light.  PS - not shown: One seagull trying to eat a fish twice his size 🐟  Three homeless encampments ⛺️  littering Six college coeds  🏃‍♀️  running It's not Christmas so I'm not going up to 12. Sorry. OK, moving to another post as we go on. Please read along.

Introduction  I'm a 69-year-old San Diegan, and have never been a serious exercise fan. I cycled thousands of miles when I was younger, but I have given that up. For most of my life I have been in publishing and thus became more fond of my keyboard than a treadmill or set of weights.  However, to avoid terminal boredom from Coronavirus, recuperate from sinus surgery, forestall heart attacks, lose a few pounds, get my doctor off my back, etc. I regretfully decided to start walking.  I write for a watch website in my spare time, so to maintain motivation, my daily theme for these walks is my Seiko watch for the day. Most anyone in the world might know that brand name, so I will do only minimal editing to take out things not of interest to my general readers.  My goals are a daily  dawn walk , wearing a different Seiko watch, on a  different route  while taking nice photos . There will be no times, no distances and no personal bests. ON A SUNNY DAY...
