Who wears a watch these days?

[groomleader]

I wear a watch, it's a Seiko with day and date, I like knowing what time it is. I like the old school.

I am an old man so I don't know any better.

You want the time you turn your wrist - to easy

Had a gold plated florin coin watch from the perth mint until it stopped working
Currently using a Citizen WR 50

If i ever get back to exercising around the hills
a AUS30 dollar plastic throw away digital any brand

Mobile is more for the camera than anything
- never know what you might need to take a snap of if the shit hits the fan while your out.
So much better than he said she said conflicting stories

I treat texts like emails & PMs - reply in my own good time not when i'm walking around

The question that really needs asking is have mobile phones become the new drug of choice?

I honestly never thought that someone would ever ask me why I wear a watch. I'm not going to even dignify that with a reply.

I have worn a wrist watch for as long as I can remember. I am a Luddite when it comes to my wrist watch. I have never worn a digital watch and I never will. I like the old conventional analog watch with hour, minute and sweep second hands. I also prefer a Speidel Twist-o-Flex wristband or equivalent. I will not wear a belt type buckle wrist band on my watch. I also prefer inexpensive wrist timepieces. I tend to be hard on watches and cannot see spending lots of money on them. Pulsar makes a great wristwatch.

I did briefly wear a Mickey Mouse watch for a few years that was a gift.

Who wears a watch these days?

Me only 99.9 % of the time (pardon the pun)

I only ever take it off if I'm required to, like getting an x-ray, working with high voltage etc... Other than for safety reason it's always on including bed, shower, beach and so on, feel naked if I'm not

Have 2,



That was a gift from Mum and Dad, 1988 for my 21st birthday and still runs but only wear it if I happen to be wearing a suit for formal events,

and



My every day watch, that's 20 years old, the one before it I smashed bu accident whist in town, didn't have much cash on me so went into a pawn shop and bought it for $350, still runs perfect.

I refuse to answer

Let alone include a photo
Not because it`d show my forearm to be a thousand times less hairy (Manly , some might say ) than Streeters though

My watch (That I refuse to confirm I own) tells me far more.
In fact it`s always talking
Or is that the voices in my head

He photoshopped his watch on to Santee's arm. Didn't you see that?

I wear a watch most days. Tissot - mechanical movement with date.

Count yourselves lucky we don't wear watches on our butts that picture might have offended
