none, there´s a clock on my cell phone...

Every watch I've owned got lost within a couple weeks...  They're just not comfortable for me, I take them off and put them down somewhere.  Who knows where.

I like to play a game sometimes, where I try to guess the time down to the minute.  It's wild fun, often I'm pretty close.  Ever been determined to wake up at a certain time and the internal clock gets it within a few minutes?

Timex, $50. (Got it on sale for $20.00) "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'."

[general disarray]

I inherited an antique, 18-karat gold, Omega Seamaster.  It's over 40 years old, self-winding, classically beautiful, water-resistant, totally gorgeous.  A watch dealer in Honolulu estimated its present value at $10,000 US dollars.  It works perfectly and has never needed a repair. 

If I didn't have this beauty, I'd get some cheap-ass chronometer because who the hell cares what time it is anyway?  Your cell phone, your IPhone, your computer nags at you all day long anyway.  I'm with sharon.  The world today is about disposable.  Get it cheap.  It's a degraded world with little value.

I hope you get mugged wearing your $1100 watch.

I have it even worse, I have to depend on clocks around me...

When pies is wearing his $1200 watch, he must be worth almost $1210.

same here.

btw, i just found a watch in the spa, anyone lost his/er watch?

[dnephi]

I had a Timex for 8 years but it just died on me.  I'll get a new one soon.

[aewanko]

A Casio watch but it died just a few weeks ago. Planning for cremation is postponed.

I'm not really a watch person, but wear one out of necessity to keep time.  As long as it is lightweight, not clunky, can take daily abuse, does not attract attention to itself, and can tell time extremely accurately I'm ok with it. 

I see no need for multiple watches.  So please don't give me one if the one I have now is in functional order. 

[goldentone]

I have a Timex expedition that my parents got me a few years ago that I
like very much. 

That was quite a jump in your original budget

[rachfan]

I have a moderately expensive Seiko with a champagne face, but rarely wear it.  My favorites are two Timex's.  The first one is a Timex Quartz about 26 years old, and cost about $40.  It has a navy blue face with gold bars instead of numbers.  The watch also has what watch makers call a hand stop motor that enables the minute hand to advance each minute with an audible click.  You can't find that feature anymore.  The other is a Timex Indiglo with a white face, includes a date box and a second hand, and is about 12 years old.  If you press the time/date setting knob inward, an indigo light illuminates the dial--just the thing if you're sitting through an endless movie at the cinema and are thinking about escaping the boredom.  I think that one cost about $100.  Anyway, all I have to do is change the batteries and watchbands every few years.  They just keep chugging along.  Unless you take a hammer to it, you can't kill a Timex.  They're accurate too.  I find that the newer one gains only a few seconds a month when I compare to an atomic clock. 

By nature I'm a very practical person, and was never taken by fancy time pieces.  So I don't view it as a status symbol.  All I want to know is the time.  From what I read, younger people these days don't wear watches anymore.  They turn on their cell phones to get the time.  I don't have a cell phone, as I don't want my life interrupted by jangling ring tones.  So I stick with watches.

I was thinking that a watch is the most socially accepted jewerly a man can wear.

It would be fun to have a gigantic watch in your backpack and pull it out now and then..Maybe

Everybody will know... It is lunchtime.

I can't be bothered by reaching onto my belt and taking out my phone just to tell the time.  Turning over my wrist is much easier.

The most worst is me, some time I see my shadow to predict what time is now...hahhhaa

[healdie]

[pianochick93]

I have the watch that I got for my year 7 graduation pressie. It's silver with a light blue face and a black band. It's quite pretty, wasn't expensive, and hasn't died on me in the 3 years I've had it.

Hehe - I have a geek watch from the 80's. It's been all around the world, seen a few wars, and flown in the cockpit of FA-18 Hornets for many many years . . . all on the sammmeee battery, baby.

My watch owns.



Yup. . . HE had one too. . . . . Gotta love da Breakfast Club. .
