Do you wear a watch? If so, what kind?

[mvd]

I wear one everyday. I have an atomic time-keeping and solar-powered Casio. Only drawbacks are no timer and the display goes out if there's little light. Not one to trust in the dark.

[Dave Reynolds]

1. Casio.

Cheap and they last for years.

[Awsi Dooger]

70. Same, a Casio Data Bank

Inexpensive but reliable and classy enough looking. I've had Casios for 20+ years, always the version that has gizmos I need like a stopwatch and calculator, since my job is in stats.

[Hissyspit]

2. Hate wearing watches. Use my cell phone to tell time.

For years and years before I had a cell phone, I would buy a watch, take the wrist strap off and stick the timepiece in my pocket.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I have a lovely analog watch made by Seiko.......

It runs on a battery, and every now and then that needs replacing.....

Plus the leather strap wears out periodically......

BUT the watch has never needed even cleaning! It keeps perfect time....

Plus it tells the date.....

I've had it since probably 1979, and I LOVE it!

[mvd]

4. That's a durable one

I do collect watches. Most so far are old ones of mine that I've kept.

[driver8]

15. You can't go wrong with a Seiko! I love their watches. n/t

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. I wear a metal Fossil watch

I refuse to spend a lot of money on a watch because I'm always bumping into things that get the face all marked up. I like the style of mine because you can wear it with casual or dressy clothes. I also wear it on my right wrist, I refuse to conform!

[khashka]

6. Used to wear a Winnie the Pooh watch

The little swarm of bees kept the seconds.

No more. I have a very expensive gold and silver watch I carry in my pocket - does that count?


Khash.

[mvd]

12. I'd say it does

As long as you have the watch on you and check it. :hi:

[xmas74]

7. Don't wear watches.

I used to wear them until I noticed how quickly I burned out the batteries.

[supernova]

8. No I don't wear a watch

I use the clock on my PC mostly, and the clocks I find in my environment.

[Tom_Foolery]

9. I have carried a pocket watch since I was 16...

and that was a long time ago. I had a really nice collection, but I had to sell it because I was broke. That's life!

[CatholicEdHead]

10. Casio digital

I just replace the bands and batteries and they are pretty cheap.

[we can do it]

11. Timex Expedition

Can't kill them and kids love to play with the light up dial.

:P

[southlandshari]

48. You too?

:rofl:

My watch of choice (you can't beat the price) for all the same reasons!


:hi:

[we can do it]

50. I Love Them

You can even run them thru the washer and dryer - I've done it a few times.

:hi:

[Straight Shooter]

13. I love Seiko but wear the cheapest watch on the market.

I don't even know what brand it is, LOL. Just a little understated classic-style watch with Roman numerals and no date window on it.

[driver8]

14. I have a lot of watches, but the one I wear is a fake Nike watch

that sheriff's deputies confiscated from a counterfeiting operation. The watch is probably worth about two bucks, but it looks cool and I get a lot of compliments on it.

I took it in to have a new battery put in it and wasn't even sure if it was worth the trouble. It's a great little watch, though.

[Roon]

64. I used to have a fake Gucci

It was CHEAP but I got a lot of compliments on it also! It all fell apart in the washer. :-(

[GOPisEvil]

16. I've got a lot of watches! It's one of my 'things'.

Some antique, some newer. Some nice, some el-cheapo. But, right now I'm not really wearing a watch very often. Sometimes I wear a Mio Heartrate monitor watch when I work out, but mostly I go watchless these days.

[bigwillq]

17. Never, ever wear a watch

but I'm always on time. :)

[southlandshari]

18. Timex Expedition

Now that is a trip! I looked down at my watch to describe it and discovered it has a NAME. Pretty fancy for a $9.99 job from that store that it is best not named here sometimes!

:rofl:


I've worn cheap watches from discount stores for many years now. I prefer a sporty watch, usually black or very dark brown. Only thing I want is water resistance so I don't have to fool with taking it off before I shower. I prefer old fashioned numbered face rather than digital.

And with that, I'll end my long-winded answer to your very short-winded question!


:hi:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

19. I have a silver Raymond Weil that we bought in Switzerland

It has a beige face and lots of cubic zirconias.

[Kathryn STone]

36. Raymond Weil-nice! I have an ESQ tank watch same folks who do Movado

It looks like the Cartier watch with the face with all roman numerals.
I'm a paralegal and I "know" people look at my watch. (well, I live in Dallas, too and it's really materialistic LOL)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

56. Hey! I live in Irving!

People admire my watch, too, and because I have this thing about telling the truth, I always say, "They're not diamonds; they're cubic zirconias." Am I stupid?

[Kathryn STone]

68. don't worry the "watch" is a beauty I'm sure

so you live in the DFW area?
There's an ACLU meeting at SMU on Feb 8th it's the building at Hillcrest and Daniel Ave. FYI

[adriennui]

20. concord

.....

[qnr]

21. Went for 8 years w/out one. Came across a $140 Polar HR monitor for $30

at Sears around Christmas, so that's what I'm wearing now.

[BuddhaGirl]

22. I wear an ESQ

swiss timepiece....have had it for years and only had to replace the battery twice!

[LittleClarkie]

23. Big horkin' Tojai sports watch that cost all of $5

I used to have a Casio calculator watch, but couldn't find one to replace the one I lost.

[pokerfan]

24. LUMINOX! LUMINOX! LUMINOX! LUMINOX! LUMINOX!

Simply an awesome watch. Each watch contains tiny self-powered micro-gas lights installed into the hands, hour markers, and sometimes even in the bezel. These lights glow all the time, whether day or night, so you don't have to push a button to see what time it is.

My dive watch model is waterproof to 200 meters and while I have used it diving, it is great for timing all kinds of things from cooking to running to time left on a parking meter. And no need to puch a bunch of buttons.





The bezel on the second watch is for frequent travelers. Instead of resetting the watch, you simply rotate the bezel to correspond to the current timezone. Very simple and clever.

Mine loses about three seconds a month so it's plenty accurate. They aren't cheap but you can find some great discounts on the web.

[Squatch]

51. So that's what the bezel is for.

I used it to time my dives.

[Ivan Sputnik]

25. LL Bean field watch

with a black leather band. Nice and simple. It has hands.

[NMMNG]

26. Just a cheapo thing I got at Kmart or Target years ago for like $8

I'm not picky--so long as it tells the time I'm happy.

[obxhead]

27. No... If I actually have the time strapped to my wrist I....

WILL always be late.

[Robeson]

28. I have many from Swatch....

...I love them, and their various designs.

[Nicole]

29. Seiko

I have it for 30 years & it's been great.

[tuvor]

30. My Palm and cel phone and car and laptop all tell the time.

That's quite enough redundancy right there.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Citizen

It's not the exact one that I wanted but I didn't see the point in paying $450 for the titanium version, if the stainless-steel version was $150. It's pretty nice though. The face glows and I can wear it in the ocean.

[barb162]

32. I have to have a watch. Current one is a Swiss Army Watch.

My previous one was a work of art and is in a drawer broken. Repairs will be a few hundred bucks so I haven't decided if I will get it fixed.

[BrotherBuzz]

33. Pocket watch

1904 Waltham open face - accurate to about two minutes a week. Wrist watches don't last long around me. :shrug:

[gardenista]

34. I have become allergic to my watch

I believe that it is an important metaphor for changes I want to make in my over-scheduled life.

[enigmatic]

35. one of these

I picked it up at a flea market over a year ago and it's the best watch I've ever had..

[Clintmax]

37. Seiko and Relic...

I change between them. The Relic is a lot "prettier" so when I dress up for a function, I wear it. The Seiko is my everyday watch.

[fudge stripe cookays]

38. A nifty Kenneth Cole...

that was given to me by the last company I worked for as a 5 year anniversary present.

fsc

[LynneSin]

43. I love my Kenneth Cole watch - it's so stylish

But not pretenious.

Mine I bought. It's a small men's watch but I was never a fan of dainty watches. You can replace the watch band to various leather colors but I'm fine with my black strap and square silver dial!

[terrya]

39. Yes...I wear a Fossil

[tjwmason]

40. Plain analogue.

I have either black or brown leather strap to match my shoes.

I also have a pocket watch which I wear if I have a waist-coat on - but I have to remember to wind that, which I rarely do.

[Left_Winger]

41. Pocket watch here

[Redstone]

42. I don't own a watch. Never have. Never will.

Redstone

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Yep. Three Seiko's

My everyday watch is one of the titanium kinetoelectrics. It's electric, but the battery charges everytime you move, like an old self-winding watch.

I have a gold Seiko, rectangular face, that has no numbers or anything, just a date box and mark at the 12. It was a service award from work. Really nice watch.

And, i have an older Seiko my wife got me for our 10th anniversary. So, it's 16 years old now. Still works fine. It's also gold, but has a black face with nothing on it but some millionth of a carat diamond chip at the 12, and the name brand.

I NEVER leave the house without a watch on. Just so used to wearing it, that i feel uncomfortable not having it there.

The Professor

[Arger68]

45. Certina DS Podium

I bought it at Loeb's in Bern, Switzerland. I never wore a watch before that, but got used to it after while. Now I feel naked without it.

[Orsino]

46. Citizen Eco-Drive

The face is a solar cell, which recharges the battery.

[Hard_Work]

65. Same here

Citizen Eco-drive for casual dress occasions, Kenneth Cole and Skagen watches for dress, a Movado masterpiece w/mother of pearl face when I wanna impress, and my everyday watch is a Timex Ironman. Pretty cool, has analog hands and the face is digital. The digital can be turned off, leaving a black faced analog watch. Really cool, but kinda chunky.

Yeah, I guess watches are a vice.

[bridgit]

47. fossil...

:D

[bmbmd]

49. Time is an illusion.

Lunchtime doubly so. Nevertheless, I wear a Swiss Army watch with a tiny little Mickey Mouse head at the six o'clock position.

[seemunkee]

52. Skagen or a cheap $9.00 snap watch

The Skagen is for dress and the snap watch is for when I go on climbing trips. Otherwise I just figure the cell phone has the time.

[justabob]

53. Girard-Perregaux pocket watch or Gruen wrist watch nt

[GirlinContempt]

54. Oh BOY do I EVER wear a watch

[MissMillie]

55. Timex Ironman Traditional - Ladies

I was actually a little miffed that the man's watch had a 50 lap memory but the ladies only only had a 30. Doesn't seem right to me to assume women will automatically run fewer laps.

I was going to write Timex and give them hell, but decided that after 30 laps, I can start counting again and probably be able to remember that I had already run 30 laps.

[TX-RAT]

57. Rolex Submariner, Stainless Steel

I've only worn 2 watches since 74.
My first was a Rolex Explorer i wore until 1990. Replaced it with the Submariner i wear now. I've got a Stainless Daytona i received when i retired. It stays in a Safe deposit box un-worn.

[ScreamingMeemie]

58. Timex Indiglo....matches MrG's. I love it.

:hi:

[Flaxbee]

59. Hamilton Seahawk... was my dad's

and I had several links taken out so it'd fit on my wrist. It's lovely, though it needs a battery. I wear my dad's watch, and often wear my mom's or grandmother's earrings.

[Patiod]

60. No, but I lust after a Cartier Tank Watch

It would be enough to overcome my aversion to having anything on my wrists. Not that I'll be coming into several thousand dollars any time soon, but still.

[bikebloke]

61. Carry a wrist watch in my pocket

Back in the early 80's whne I was a poor traveller exploring the world, I started carrying my watch in my pocket. I go for cheap ones, since they tend to get damaged by my keys (in the same pocket). Or lost when pulling out my keys (happened a couple of times). So I pick up a cheap analog at the drug store. My current time piece is a Sharp.

[Midlodemocrat]

62. I used to before my eyesight got so bad that I couldn't see the dial.

Now I just use my cell phone if I need to see the time. But I am really time conscious, I have several clocks in each room of the house.

My husband wears a Tag Heuer that I got him in the Bahamas. He absolutely adores it.

[UrbScotty]

63. Analog indiglo watch from Timex (nt)

[Taverner]

66. Timex

$22

[pinniped]

67. I wear this, but it's a manual wind so it gets wrist time about...

twice a month.




I love watches!

[Deja Q]

69. None. I have only my nekkid limp wrist.

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

71. a timex indiglo, least expensive watch i've ever owned and the best so far

[skygazer]

72. I wear a cheap ten dollar watch

I love watches and have had many really nice ones over the years but I have rotten luck with them. I have a box full of broken and non-functioning watches so now I wear my el cheapo at work and don't bother with one otherwise.

[jus_the_facts]

73. I carry m'papaw's in my purse..it's a Timex Indiglo with a sterling silver

....and turquoise band he bought in Mexico..s'too big so I can't wear it. :hi:

[Wcross]

74. I have never worn a watch in my life.

I am 42 years old and have never worn a watch. I can't get used to the feeling, its like a handcufff around my wrist. I have a good sense of time and all my time keeping needs are met by wall clocks, car radios, cell phones and computers. Why would you want to wear a watch?
