Be prepared for the upcoming school year with these watches to help make the new semester a lot easier

Here’s a little tip for both old and new college students: organization is EVERYTHING. September is around the corner, and there’s no better time than now to start getting prepared for the upcoming semester. Time management is one of the key aspects to being successful in college. Between going to classes, attending club meetings, and even remembering to EAT (trust me, I’ve seen it happen), alarms and reminders are necessary. To help you stay on time, check out some of these watches that will keep you on track.

With an extensive schedule ahead, it is important to have the right type of tools. The Apple Watch is the kind of tool to help make conquering this school year a whole lot easier. Apple’s latest addition to their wearables family is the Series 4 and it has just the right amount of tech inside to help you out. From its scheduling capabilities and accurate timekeeping, to its notification vibrations to tell you when your next class is, the Apple Watch is a glorified scheduling master.

When it comes to simplicity and reliability, look no further than Casio’s 5600 G-Shock. From the engineering mind of founder Kikuo Ibe, the 5600 series is as durable as they come. You can probably smack this watch on a wall or some concrete and it will not effect its functionality. The best part about this watch is its Bluetooth feature. A new addition to the 5600 family, the purpose of Bluetooth is to provide time accuracy, with the watch setting itself automatically when there’s a switch in timezones. The watch comes with alarm capabilities as well, giving u a quick peep when scheduled. So between having both an alarm clock and self-setting watch on your wrist, the chances of you missing any of your extracurriculars are slim to none.

A lot of people don’t like all of the bells and whistles that come with the Apple watch or the G-Shock, and that’s ok! The thing about us at StockX is that we’re a neutral marketplace! For all of those that appreciate subtle design, we present the Seiko Alpinist. This is a watch that is just perfect for everyday wear. The Alpinist is regarded as a fan favorite to many Seiko collectors. On top of all of that, it’s an automatic watch, something that will operate for a long period of time. Wear this watch to formal, wear this watch to class so you can see how many minutes are between you and lunch. It’s a great watch that’ll make going back to school just that much better.
