Okay, so I’ve been seeing this watch on Nick Saban’s wrist for a while now, and it’s been bugging me. What the heck is it? I mean, the guy’s a legend, right? Seven national championships! So, naturally, I got curious about his wrist game.
Digging into Nick Saban’s Watch
At first, I thought it might be something fancy, you know, like a Rolex or something. Some folks online were saying it looked like an Explorer with that oyster bracelet. But, after staring at a bunch of game photos, I just couldn’t be sure. This was going to take a bit more digging.
So, I started hitting up some watch forums, seeing what other people were saying. Turns out, I wasn’t the only one wondering about this! There were a few threads already going, with people throwing out guesses. Someone even mentioned seeing him with a Fossil before, but it was an older model.
Then, I finally stumbled upon the answer. It’s a Fossil chronograph, reference number CH 2497. Yep, you heard that right – a Fossil! I mean, I was kind of shocked. This super successful coach, rocking a $95 watch. It’s a chronograph, so it’s got those little dials for timing things, up to 12 hours. Useful for a coach, I guess.
Why a Fossil?
Now, the big question is, why a Fossil? I mean, the guy could definitely afford something a bit more, shall we say, “prestigious.” But then it hit me. Saban’s known for being adaptable, right? He changed his whole coaching style to keep up with the game. Maybe this watch is just another example of that. It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it gets the job done. No need for flash, just function.
- Simple: A basic Fossil chronograph, no-nonsense design.
- Reliable: It tells the time, it times things, it works.
- Affordable: Doesn’t break the bank, which is kind of refreshing.
Honestly, I kind of respect the choice. It says something about the guy, you know? He’s not about showing off, he’s about winning. And maybe this trusty Fossil is a small part of that winning formula. Or maybe he just likes the darn thing! Either way, mystery solved. It’s a Fossil CH 2497.
I kept looking into this watch, and learned that this watch had been discontinued. I tried to search for it on many platforms, but I couldn’t find it. Finally, I found a second-hand one through my friend’s introduction, and I bought it.
It took me lots of effort to finally get this watch.
