I used to have a few Swatches (one at a time) and I really liked them. The first was just the clear see through one. Then I was gifted one of the chrono ones. And then later gifted one of the auto-winding ones. The ones i had were just the regular color ones, not one with weird designs or colors. Sometime in my late 20s I stopped wearing watches.

California women's gymnastics junior Annalise Newman-Achee and freshman Tonya Paulsson were each named twice to the All-ACC Gymnastics Team at the end of the 2026 regular season. Newman-Achee was one of two gymnasts awarded All-ACC in the all-around and also added a balance beam recognition, while Paulsson was honored on the uneven bars and floor exercise teams. These are the first all-conference honors of each of their collegiate careers.
California women's gymnastics freshman Tonya Paulsson was named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Newcomer of the Week for the fifth time this season on Tuesday afternoon, in what was the final iteration of the weekly conference honors in the 2026 season. Paulsson was also recognized as the conference's top newcomer in Weeks 1, 5, 7 and 9. This is the seventh weekly conference honor awarded to a Golden Bear this season, with Annalise Newman-Achee's Week 1 Gymnast of the Week title and Sage Melkonian's Week 6 Specialist of the Week recognition.
Senior Gia Fisher and junior Ava Haughy of the No. 9 California beach volleyball team have been named the MPSF Pair of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday.
Fisher and Haughy, playing as the Golden Bears' No. 3 pair, went 4-0 at last weekend's East Meets West Invitational in Manhattan Beach, including three victories over duos from nationally ranked opponents. Fisher and Haughy defeated pairs from No. 5 Texas, No. 8 Arizona State, No. 12 LSU and FIU.

California women's water polo freshman Despoina Drakotou has added another award to her Cal-record MPSF Newcomer of the Week honor roll, picking up her fifth set of accolades from the conference this week.
Drakotou scored twice and had three steals and two assists in the Golden Bears' 10-8 win over No. 5 Hawai'i last weekend. Her steal and second goal of the game gave Cal a 7-4 lead in the first half, and she'd later serve up an assist on the Bears' 10th goal of the game, which had been tied during the first half.
