Do you wear a watch?

[Streetvision]

just wondering who here wears a watch? i have always liked watches. i currently wear a omega seamaster 2220.80 (it looks like the one pierce brosnan wore in his bond films)

Do you and if so what kind of watch is it?

[InfernoSR]

Yeah i wear one... mainly a $5 one from a elcheapo store... but i have 2 others alot more expensive that i wear on the odd occasion.

[kenz]

My phone doubles as a time piece!

[JACK250]

I used to but I got a killer watch tan so left it off, then it needed another link putting in and I haven't really bothered with it

i have one too, it's funny. because im tanned but when i take my watch off im really pale where the watch used to be, it looks really weird.

[thefargo]

a russian 24 hour watch. I like to know whether it's 0630 or 1830 without seeing the sun. Also handy in the antarctic regions

I too love watches

I used to have an Omega Speedmaster - great watch

Have restored a 1970s Rado Purple Sabre watch my old man bought new in Switzerland when he was there for work. I took it off him and had it restored at the factory in Switzerland. (cost over $600 to do - and that was 7 years ago)

My daily watch is a Rolex Submariner with Date. In dire need of a service as I wear it everywhere. Even in the gym so she does have a fair few scratches on the band.

Here is an article where they compare the Submariner vs Seamaster

Was looking at getting another watch - maybe a Panerai Luminer Marina with Date

or the Jaeger Extreme World Chronograph

I own a fairly nice one, but never wear it, just isn't my thing lol, id rather just look at my phone

[Fordfan4u]

Im a big fan of watches, I've got a little collection of watches. I only have 13 at this stage, cheapest being my daily watch 'FUBU' $350 and my most expensive is a 'Tag Heuer' as a whisker over $4500.
Ive also got an Omega, Versace, Cartier, Bulova.. plus the mildly cheaper ones like my Ford, Diesel, casio etc etc..

[Daymoe]

Nah, I use my phone for the time, that's its prime use instead of being used for calling people haha.

[EgoXR]

I cant wear them. I have a mass habit of taking them off and playing with them, or Im too concious its there and it makes me itch!

[SM1DY]

I cant remember the last time I used a watch, I have a really bloody good watch that i've had for a couple years, but it never gets used.....shame really.

[zigzagnt]

I do generally when i go out.

[asusdragon]

i have a watch my Gf brought me but never where it i dont think i have wore a watch in bout 10years i have a mobile for telling me the time or a laptop that i have on me whenever im working or the clock in the car while i driving.

[Dazza XLT]

I've broken too many watches over the years. Now just stick to using my mobile phone, and yes I've broken plenty of those too!
One day I'll get a decent pocket watch.

[GS608]

just use my mobile, where ever i am there is almost always a clock.

[ILLaViTaR]

Wore them all the time until 5 years back.

Phone does the trick, and all my watches made the skin behind the watch itself stink.

[Trendseeker]

Ripcurl Tidemaster. Expensive watches like the Seamaster are good, but it's also good to have an extra function in addition to the time. My other 2 watches (Seikos) have chronographs which I never use, but I do use the alarm once in a while. I like the Tidemaster because I can check the tide without having to go look at a tide chart and I can leave it on when I go for a surf.

[Trek]

I always wear mine anytime I go out. I don't use a mobile, since I'm too oldschool/traditional in my ways (and they're also unnecessary money pits, only useful in emergencies, otherwise serving no other purpose) Of course I have a watch tan to match, as well!

[DayTE]

I've got 5 watches. I've worn one since I was about 9 years old, so when I don't have one on it doesn't feel right (I'm 30 now).

One is my 'mechanic' watch, it's old, digital, and I've had it since I was about 10(with only 3 batteries). It's still going strong. A Casio.

Two is my everyday watch, a freebee from Clipsal, I wear it most days now. Brand Unknown.

Three is the old everyday watch. It was a Colarado, got it for $50 with a purchase of $XX clothes. Battery only lasts about 12 months. Brand also unknown.

Four is a leather band watch (the rest a metal) and it's branded Ducati. Bought it when I used to own a Duke. Not worn much because I don't like the leather band.. A Ducati??? not sure who actually manufactures it.

Five is one I asked my parents for because I wanted a 'Good' watch, as in a smrt lookingt watch for suits and formal events and such. It's a Vagary, which Casio make and it's their "Youth" brand. Good looking watch though.

But honestly, these days I'd be lost without wearing one. And have the tan mark to prove it!

[philstoj]

After destroying plenty of cheapies wearing them for work i decided to get something a bit better so bought a citizen promaster in the early 90's and still going strong and wear that more for anything but work.
for work i got a seiko 5 automatic, great watch aswell and doesnt miss a beat and is tough as nails.

iphone tells time, car tells time, computer tells time, microwave tells time, radio tells time - why wear a watch?

Because I can't take the iPhone, car, computer, microwave or radio into the surf. But I take your point, they're not needed as much as they used to be.

[Pinkbits]

Have only just reverted back to wearing one after quite a few years of not due to the nature of my job. Easier to look at your wrist than fumble in your pocket to get it out.

i beg to differ i have seen a waterproof case for the iphone, though still a little big to just throw in you wetsuit somewhere

[gcg2503]

Yes and a waterproof iphone is very practical and easy to use in the surf........

[onfire]

[schnoods]

Cant wear one for work after getting a burn from a welder, a Apprentice giving me a hand to tack up some stuff with a stick welder and a steel band watch sont mix. Had a nice red ring around a 3rd of my wrist.

I have a Breitling Watch that cost me a grand duty free that sees the light of night when i go out.

other then that a mobile phone is good too, I just dont leave it in my shirt pocket while welding, they like to catch spatter and melt a few keys....

[DRU842]

I have a Seiko Connetic & have had for about 10 years.
