Just curious what will be on your wrist when the clock strikes midnight tonight. Iām still undecided but grabbed the Timex Snoopy this morning and that might well stay on for tonight. Like the easygoing playfulness of the watch but there is a chance that one of the family members snatches it off my wrists before we go to the party šš¤·š»āāļø
