CBDV Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I have not wore a watch since 2002, while I was in college. The reason I am starting this thread is I am going to buy and start wearing one again. I am in the process of looking, I don't want a cheap one, but cannot afford a Rolex, Breitling, or Omega unless it is an EXTREMELY good deal on a used one. I assume a few on here do, if so what do you wear?
Clyde Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I've owned one watch since 1985 which I got for a graduation present. I haven't worn it in at least 10 years. I'm not opposed to wearing one. I simply never think to actually go out and look for one. I'm never late for anything so it's not exactly a necessity.

You would have been one I'd bet still wore a watch.
Watusi Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I wear a watch every day, have done so since I was a freshman in high school. I am just not comfortable without one. It is not a fashion piece for me, it is just matter of function. So I don't buy expensive watches. I've been wearing UK Fossil watch lately.
Birdsfan Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I have always worn a watch. My current one has a large, plain white face with numbers and a second hand. It's clear, simple and straight-forward, which is just the way I like it. My leather-ish watchband, however, is in severe need of replacement.
bigblueinsanity Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I have had the same Fossil watch since about '05. Wear it everyday.
ADopted ADmiral Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 The Cell Phone watch star killed the Wrist watch star...
Dlbdonn Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I have a Casio that I used to wear while refereeing soccer and I now only wear while swimming , a Bulova That the union gave me when I retired and an original Accutron that I've had for eons and still works .
Slemac90 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I wear a watch and have since my freshman year of college - a few decades ago. I've owned a Seiko Kinetic, Movado Museum, Omega Seamaster and currently I wear a Tag Heuer F1. I'd love to own a Breitling but that probably won't happen until I pick the correct Powerball #s. If you can afford it, get a Tag. The best watch I've owned!
mcpapa Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I have half a dozen cheapies - never was a watch connoisseur - a $30 watch isn't appreciably different from a $3,000 watch to me - but I rarely wear any of them. Cell phone doubles as a watch.
All Tell Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I never go without a watch. I have a couple of Timex sports watches I wear every day and a nice gold toned pulsar that I wear with dress clothes.
ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Yeah I stopped wearing a watch when I moved to Louisville.
NEERFAN Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I have a nice Swiss Army "Wenger". Just have needed a battery for quite some time.
UK Fanatic Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Wear a watch nearly everyday and have since I was in high school. I've had a Sieko the last 10 years and never has any trouble with it.
Clyde Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 You would have been one I'd bet still wore a watch. I continue to disprove perceptions, my man. Someone else had me as "crotchety." I must come off as old on here.
