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!

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.

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

[TUF_302]

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

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

IMHO, A true classic. while i did look at rolex's when i was making my first luxury timepiece purchase. the seamaster just appealed to me better but rolex's complete in house movement, subbies are just something you have to have in your collection.

Cheers, altho to be honest the press photos don't do it any justice, that wave pattern you can only see on certain angles in certain lighting conditions and its not THAT light blue. i'll upload some pics for ya.

Love watches and wish I had the time to really get into it and money to become a collector. Unfortunately all of the watches I like run into the thousands, so I could see it becoming a quite expensive hobby.

Whenever I go to a capital city I always seek out jewellers and watch shops and do a bit of window shopping while my wife hits the shops.

My dream watch is an Omega Speedmaster moon watch (any model), but I would have a lot of trouble justifying the $$ for one to the minister of finance.

Of course I usually work on the premise that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission when making largish purchases, but a purchase like this could be the deal breaker!

I own two watches.

A Tissot titanium chrono is my at home/going out watch. Purchased it in Lucerne as a souvenir while over their in 2000. Just got it back from a service actually.

At work I wear a cheapish chinese copy of a seiko divers watch complete with rubber wrist band. Its practical but thats it.

[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.

[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.

[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!

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.

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

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....

Nice Watch!

My mate has one. And it looks awesome. IMO the casual surf looking watches look better then the bling bling watches.
