Your watch personality

My watch

I have a silver Timex pocket watch on a chain. I used to wear wrist watches but they get grimey quickly on archaeological digs, so I learned from the pros that a pocket watch is the safest bet. It's a little strange for a girl to have a pocket watch but, hey, it's better than ruining a nice wrist watch.

This was my watch until the battery died

Perhaps that explains why I can never be on time or never got around to buying a new battery....

Have always worn watches, feel naked without it.

I used to have a pocket watch from Wal-Mart but it wouldn't stay closed after a while. Now I wear this. $80.

My last watch was a Fossil Blue, it was a gift, but something the person knew I wanted. I liked the way it looked. After I lost it, I just stopped wearing a watch.

I have a Cell Phone that has a watch and calendar. A PDA with the same. A Nextel that tells time. A company cellphone, in addition to the Nextel, which tells time. A clock in both of my vehicles. On top of that, even my iPod offers the time and basic iCal functions.

Maybe I am just pragmatic. But wearing a watch is one of those things that people probably do not have to do. It's like a facet of life that has become obsolete, 'cept that it hasn't really been pointed out yet.

Watches may become a thing of the past, unless they start to offer a lot more functionality.

Watches retain a fashion aspect I suppose, but it is pretty frivolous.

....However, having no watch also deprives you of that incredibly subtle gesture of checking it ostentatiously when you're bored and want to cut short a meeting or conversation.

Agree... I don't wear a watch and haven't owned one in 7 or 8 years, but I have been known on occasion to simply fake the "glance at watch" gesture for one reason or another, and hope that anyone looking doesn't notice I'm just looking at my wrist.

I know... sneaky as hell isn't it.

You can tell the time with that???

I'm not sure what is says about my personality, but I just got this Eco-Drive Citizen, and yes, I do use it for scuba diving.

I also have an Omega Aqua Terra when something a little more dressy is called for.

i have several watches, my favorite being a Movado. simple, sleek, elegant, effective.

there is a thread about this in the picture forum.

Well, I have an Omega Seamaster, James Bond Model. The automatic one. Then I have a Rolex GMT Master II, which I am currently wearing as I type this. I also have a Casio G-shock for when I work out, or play with my dog. She is a ninety pound lab that likes to try to chew on my other nice watches.

I have three watches at the moment.

My main watch is a Calvin Klein which is actually quite scratched up.

Besides that I have a neat Fossil which has a face that can alternate between green and blue. Looks like the one in the picture but with a black leather strap and a slightly different shape face.

And I have a Citizen Aqualand Duplex which is a serious diving watch with basically a dive computer built into it. (but the batteries are dead right now, yes it takes 2 batteries, and eats them within a year. ) Great watch though.
