Eyes on... your wrist!

Apparently most people don't wear watches anymore, because they've got their cellphone or whatever. As for me, I've worn one every day of my life since I was about 15, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I feel pretty naked if I'm not wearing one, and I'm in love with watches (and clocks) besides. Mine looks like this:

It's fully mechanical (i.e.: no batteries) and it's beautiful and I love it :love: :love:

Does anyone else around here still wear a old-fashioned wrist-worn timepiece? :monster:

I've tried to wear a watch a few times, but I just can't stand it. I do have a strawberry watch that clips to my belt loop, but I still use my phone a lot of the time.

I do miss my Sailor Moon watch though. I lost it. :(

Not often, but I do enjoy wearing a pocket watch every day.

I like cats, get over it.

I don't wear it often enough, I always forget to. Even with it on I'll still look at my phone for the time.

I used to be all about wearing a watch, but I fell out of the habit over the years.

I don't wear one as I tend to break watches and what not. I fiddle around with things and a watch is very fiddle-matic!

Freya, that is beautiful. I've recently joined the cat revolution after having a four-year-old female feline given to me by my Auntie. I always thought I was a dog person but she might be changing me opinion.

I've got a weird watch story actually...

When I was a kid I used to wear a watch on my right wrist. Then when I was twelve, I suddenly stopped wearing one and I haven't worn one since. There was no real reason why I stopped either.

Years later when I was in my early twenties, my Dad told me a story about when he was in a really bad car crash as a passenger when he was twelve years old. Apparently he raised his right arm (on watch he also wore his watch) to protect his face. The impact actually shattered the glass on his watch which went into his eyes and caused a bit of damage. He never wore a watch again after that day... pretty much the exact same time as me.

Not sure why I shared that but just thought it was a bit spooky.

I dont wear one because it gives me an excuse to chat up hotties who do wear watches by asking for the time, and while their hands are in clear sight I can check for a wedding ring.

ps: this never works

I was actually just given a watch today for my birthday, it's rather snazzy but I need to take it in and get it resized for my skinny wrist >_<

Watches are really just bracelets to me, what with cell phones and all. I have a slappy one that I like to wear sometimes because slappy bands are fun to play with.

When I wear a watch, I have a habit of taking it off constantly when I don't need to and inevitably losing it. So I don't wear watches anymore.

I do some times. But it's not an everyday thing.

I keep trying to take a picture of my watch but it's been unsuccessful. Anyway. My watch was given to me for my 18th and even though the battery has died and the watch itself looked like it served in 'Nam, I wear it constantly because otherwise I feel off balanced. I still use Nukie's technique of chatting up hotties for the time and then I even have a talking point about why my watch doesn't work.

I would wear mine if it wasn't broken. The glass is broken, and moisture has gotten into it and caused the clockwork inside it to oxidize.

It's a bit of a shame, it looked pretty cool. I'll edit my post with a picture if I can find it.

i have expensive watch tastes, and dont wear one for that reason (99%)
