Happy couples do everything together �C they share meals, vacations, and nights out�� so why not watches? This thought first occurred to me while shopping for a Christmas present for my fianc��. Notice the word "fianc��" �C we're just starting out, which means even though I want to buy her the world, the price tag can't be too high in the stratosphere.After some clicking around, I decided to shop at an online discount watch retailer, and a Concord Mariner Watch for ladies immediately caught my eye. There's quite a selection available, but the model that really attracted me was the black dial diamond Concord Ladies Watch, which pairs the elegance of diamonds with an edgy black dial. And boy, are there diamonds �C this baby has diamonds all around the bezel, as well as diamonds marking every o'clock on the dial.Anyway, back to sharing: While browsing watches for my lady, I found a Concord Mariner Watch for men that left me likewise entranced. This time, I was salivating over a stainless steel model with a blue dial, embodying that sophisticated sports look.At www.wonderwatches.com, I saved more than 50% per purchase �C so why not buy two?

Of course, you don't need to be a mariner to wear a Concord Mariner watch �C you can wear these watches to a business meeting, the opera, shopping, or running. If you're curious to know what a mariner is, read on.A mariner is someone who operates, maintains or services a boat or other water-based vessel. Seafarers hold a whole range of positions to ensure the smooth running of a water vessel: whether you’re Chief Mate or Able Seaman or Oiler, your role is important.Deck crew are responsible for the general maintenance and running of the ship: they take care of the ship's hull and cargo gear, and might supervise diving and salvage operations. In the engineering department, crew maintain the propulsion systems, sewage, lighting, air condition, water and other systems.In the steward's department, the Chief Steward, the Chief Cook and the Steward's Assistant are responsible for preparing and serving meals, baking, cleaning accommodations, planning menus, and purchasing supplies. Other ship roles include Purser, who handles all money on board, Hospital Corpsman, Medical Doctor and Nurse.So, next time you glance down at your Concord Mariner watch, think of all the seafarers hard at work!
