Dentists’ Watches; What to Choose?

Recently, I heard that more and more people are not wearing watches. They say it's because they can find the time on their smartphones. 

Well, the time on smartphones is accurate. For the arms of today's human beings, they may be spending more time with their smartphones than with their watches.

There are many situations where people check the time in their daily life, meanwhile for us dentists, we probably check the time as a control for the procedure time during the clinical dental practice. At that time, we may look at our watches or wall clocks, but no dentist would ever take out his or her smartphone. They are wearing disposable surgical gloves, and it's too much trouble!

After all, for dentists, checking the time has always been an analog method. I’m sure it is.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and I may be wrong. Other countries, which are more digitally advanced than Japan, maybe using AI such as Siri or Alexa. How about your country?


Watch to be worn by the dentist during a clinical procedure

While I believe that brand watches such as Omega and Rolex are models that deserve to be owned by dentists, I also believe that they should not be worn while in clinical dental practice.

This is because the value of a watch in clinical dental practice is all about reliability. 

It must be small, lightweight, and rugged. A large, heavy wristwatch would be a hindrance in the clinical field, and there is a high risk of malfunctioning if it is bumped or wet with liquid.

In addition, it should have good time visibility, a stopwatch function, and be inexpensive. What more do you need?


Now, the watch I am currently using during my clinical practice is a CASIO F-84W. It costs about $10 when purchased in Japan, which is an incredibly low price model considering its performance. Although it is an older model, in Japan, many workers still use this watch including me.

The high potential of this cheap CASIO watch is proven by the fact that there are many reviews of it all over the world. I love it too. 

If you buy one for work, you will realize that you made the right decision.

You may want to purchase a similar successor model, the F-91W. This model may be more famous. The performance and reliability are almost the same, so you can choose the one you prefer.


enjoy it!

Are Kurds Refugees?

　 This article is not related to my usual dental practice. Recently, Kurds have been causing problems in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The Japanese mass media has not reported on this at all, but Japanese people who lived in Kawaguchi City have reported the situation vividly on Twitter. There is a growing sense of anxiety among the residents.  These Kurds have applied for refugee status in Japan, claiming that they are Turks, but they are persecuted in Turkey, so they have come to Japan as refugees and are asking for help. However, we know that they entered Japan as Turkish tourists and applied for refugee status as Kurds as soon as their tourist visas expired. By the way, about 600$ per month is provided from taxpayers' money as protection money. Generally, Japanese people do not discriminate against foreigners, but we do not like criminals who disrupt social security. The Japanese are equally averse to criminals, whether they are fellow countrymen or foreigners. I wo...

Murmur

 The thinking of the negative, that is not good for a good life. But, probably, at least I or you think following. It’s not that the past was good. Only in the past was there anything good. We have to grab the bright future. This is something that each of us living in the world can achieve if we work a little harder. The effort required to do so can be as little as 30 minutes of reading instead of 30 minutes of watching a smartphone or TV.
