More information and detailed flier here.

I'll be there then, so I think I'll take advantage of the margarita discount at Tortilla Jo's.

Oooh, I was thinking of buying a new watch, 20% off @ Fossil would be nice.

Except then you end up with a Fossil watch (I know, most people have had no problem but both I've owned were complete lemons promising I will never again buy one).

Wow, I LOVED my fossil watch. And, hmmmm .....

Alex · 04-03-2009, 07:58 AM

I loved the look of the two I had (and previous discussion here has revealed how picky I am about watches). But both of them broke within several months, the first one I had repaired and then it broke again four months later.

The second one, when it broke I just moved on.

innerSpaceman · 04-03-2009, 08:22 AM

oh, I completely understand your reluctance. Mine lasted forever and ever, so the only reluctance I have is that, with a phone on my person at all times, watches are redundant.

But I've decided they look hot ... so I'll mull over returning to the ironic anachronism that keeps time.

Ghoulish Delight · 04-03-2009, 08:23 AM

I hate having to use my phone for the time, I'm lost without a watch.

Though looking at Fossil's website, even at 20% off, the Fossil watches at Nordstrom Rack are a far better deal, though the selection is obviously limited.

I had been kind of wondering if the deals really were all that good since I suspect that the prices were going to be high to begin with there.

On the subject of watches, I am torn. I really don't have a desire or need to wear one, but they can be such an attractive addition. I have always been a big fan of the watches that € has.

On the plus side, the higher the price of the watch, the bigger savings 20% is.

Fossil used to have a good selection of watches in the $60-$80 range. No longer, it seems.

But Nordstrom Rack's got a bunch for $35-$45, a much more palatable price point.

Watch bands pull out arm hair. Thus I don't wear them. Phone works just fine.
