I Wear always a watch unless I’m at home.
Watches has become more of a Jewelry accessory (more specific for males) than a time telling machine. Heck, I hardly do look for time on my watch. That’s why people Pays good amount of Money for a Rolex, Movado, etc, because is use an accessory to compliment how they are dressed (just like women wear Necklaces) If your job is meeting with people that are owners or presidents of big corporate Companies, then you are going to meet them dress in a good Tux, and that Tux without a watch will look plain.

I personally dislike the digital watches... I wear a mechanical watch, for partly the reason that Rurik has indicated (mine's a 50 years old Omega, a momento from my late grandfather). Another would be that... for some reason, it really grew on me.

Maybe because normal people like me, do not want to recharge their watches every (2) day(s). Despite that I use it for aesthetical reasons (though I somehow managed to scratch the saphire glass of my watch which looks rather unaesthetical now)

I never got used to wrist watches. Always annoyed me. In junior high I went on a ski trip and my watch battery died on the way. Bought a pocket watch at a gift shop there and have carried on ever since.
Love 'em. Carry a mechanical one now with a glass face so you can see the gears and stuff moving. Some day I'll save up the money and buy and old minute repeater. Those are the ultimate in pocket watches. The only thing that bugs me is the only pants that have a pocket watch pocket are jeans and suit vests have bogus fake pockets on them so you can't wear a watch. |

There's 3 things i can't leave home without: keys, wallet, watch.
Since i was in school, i've always had one.. the society we live in dictates that we must never be late etc.. so it's a part of me now. I've seen some of the new watches on the market, i'm not too fond of them. I recently bought myself another "Swatch" watch and i'm quite satisfied, time-day-date is a good thing in my case since half the time, i don't know what day it is unless it's the weekend. |

What I really want is a bigger variety of pretty digital watches! I hate hand clocks, but most of the digital watches are huge and clunky and ugly and don't fit on my small wrists anyway. T_T It took me ages to find a digital watch that actually looks formal and pretty and I hope it lasts a long time, because I don't know where I'll find another. It doesn't seem like it should be so hard to make a digital watch pretty and feminine.

I do have a watch, but as far as wearing it goes - more often than not you will see me without it. The reason ? Once i take it off in the evening, chances are i will forget to put it back on in the morning. As i am typing this i do not even know where the damn thing is Give me about 5 minutes and i might be able to find it somewhere around the house.... provided that my cat has not been taking interest in it and dragged it under my bed. (Which actually happened once... the thing was lost for a week).
I guess keeping the watch is more like force of habit than anything else for me. (my parents got me a nice, mechanical watch on my 14th birthday, and i am using it up until now). Other than that - my cell phone does the trick. (Provided the battery is not low, which happens to be the case more often than not). Not like it matters much - most of the time i do not really care what time it is ... heck, sometimes i am not even sure what day it is As for watches not being "upgraded" - the purpose of the thing is to tell time, and that's what it does... not many ways to improve that. Then again - i find all the functions of new cell phone models utterly useless for my needs.

I don't think I could live without my watch. I have been wearing it 24/7 since I was however old except in the shower or swimming. Actually, I have a rather scary white, watch-shaped mark around my wrist. Also, I prefer mechanical over digital simply because it gives me a better sense of time.
Anyway, I think it would be cool to be able to download background, perhaps have them change each day of the week, but I don't see it happening since the first prototype would probably be big and clunky (could you see a usb port on your watch? Unless they use bluetooth or something, but then you'd need more controls.) Even if they did have the technology, I don't think it would take off. To me, the beauty of the watch is it's apparent simplicity and unless I need to know the time, forget it's there. Then again, I have a soft spot for any timepieces |

Casio digital watches ftw. I've had a Casio watch since I was like 10 and even though I've tried other watches at some points, I always go back to a digital one. My first Casio one lasted for years. Now I have a different Casio watch and it works great. I don't really use cellphones to tell time except sometimes, and until technology changes, I'll probably keep using a (digital) watch to tell the time.

There's still good watches out there. Digital ftw, with timer etc for running. A watch is still superior to a cell phone in many ways imo.
It would be nice to get my hands on a watch that's able to measure heart rate... That would be nice, anyone know of any watch that can pull that off? Would love to have one when I'm working out. Never mind, google ftw Found some good ones already Last edited by EvilTomte; 2007-02-09 at 15:23. |

I wear a watch everyday, it's a habitual thing and to be honest I hate having to reach into my pocket for a phone to tell the time.
This is a pretty cool watch which I'd love to have, gimmicky as it is http://www.tokyomango.com/tokyo_mang...t_timetel.html |
