My Watch

For 8th Class Student 

Time is very important in life. The Holy Quran also teaches us the value of time in Surah Al-Asr. I still remember when I got my first watch in Grade 5. It was a gift from my uncle, and I was so happy to receive it.

The watch came in a transparent box. Inside it was a small note that said: “Time is priceless, so never lose it cheaply.” That message stayed in my heart.

My watch is black in color. It has a metallic dial and a plastic strap. The numbers and hands shine, so I can see the time even in the dark. The brand CASIO is written clearly in the center.

It has three hands:

•     The hour hand (short and thick),
•     The minute hand (longer and thin), and
•     The second hand (long and red).

The machinery of the watch is of very good quality. Even after two years, it still works perfectly. I learned how to read time from this watch. It also has an alarm that wakes me up in the morning. It helps me be on time in studies and sports.

Though it was a gift, I once saw its price in the market — it was about fifteen hundred rupees. I take great care of it and never wear it while doing rough tasks.

My watch helps me stay punctual and disciplined. I am an athlete, and I use it to improve my running time. I believe that whatever profession you choose, having a good watch helps in managing time.

A good watch is not just a tool, it is one of the best things a student can have. It improves the quality of life.

Time is one of the most valuable resources in life, and its importance is clearly expressed in the Holy Quran, particularly in Surah Al-Asr. I still remember the day I received my first watch in Grade 5. It was a gift from my uncle, and the joy I felt at that moment is unforgettable.

The watch was packed in a transparent box with a small note that read: “Time is priceless, so never lose it cheaply.” This powerful message has stayed with me ever since, reminding me to use my time wisely.

My watch is black in color, with a metallic dial and a strong plastic strap. The luminous numbers and hands allow me to read the time even in darkness. The brand name CASIO is printed clearly in the center. It has three hands: the short, thick hour hand; the longer, thin minute hand; and the long red second hand.

The watch is highly durable. Even after two years of use, it keeps perfect time. I learned to read time from this very watch, and its alarm feature wakes me up early each morning. It has greatly helped me become more punctual in my studies and sports activities.

Though it was a gift, I later discovered its price in the market—around fifteen hundred rupees. I take great care of it and avoid wearing it while doing rough work to protect it from damage.

To me, my watch is more than just a device to tell time; it is a constant reminder of the value of punctuality and discipline. I believe every student should own a good watch to help manage time effectively.

For 11th Class Student 

Time is the most precious asset a person possesses, and its wise use determines the quality of life. The Holy Quran, in Surah Al-Asr, reminds us of the fleeting nature of time and the need to spend it purposefully. My own appreciation for time deepened when I received my first watch as a gift from my uncle in Grade 5—a gift that has since become one of my most valued possessions.

The watch arrived in a transparent box, accompanied by a small note that read: “Time is priceless, so never lose it cheaply.” These words left a lasting impression on me and continue to influence how I plan my day.

It is an elegant black watch with a metallic dial and a sturdy plastic strap. The luminous hands and numbers make it easy to read in darkness, while the name of its reputable brand, CASIO, is prominently displayed on the dial. The watch operates with three hands: the short, bold hour hand; the slender, longer minute hand; and the vibrant red second hand, which allows me to track every passing moment.

Even after two years of daily use, the watch remains accurate and reliable. Its alarm feature ensures I start my mornings on time, and as an athlete, I rely on it to measure and improve my performance. Although it was a gift, I later learned it costs around fifteen hundred rupees—a small price for something that has shaped my habits so positively.

For me, this watch is more than an accessory. It is a symbol of punctuality, discipline, and respect for time—values that are essential in every stage of life. I firmly believe that a dependable watch is not just a timekeeper but a life organizer, especially for students who wish to succeed.
