The wristwatch thread

**gadjo_dilo** · 21st May 12, 11:07

I don't use to wear wristwatches because I don't need them. I have only an Oxette Loisir and an Avon cheap but interesting model. When I wear them I use them as jewelry and most of the times the batteries are off.

In the past I had a bracelet with a special design. Most of the people thought it's a watch and asked me in the street "what time is it?" - and when I said I don't have a watch they looked suspiciously as they thought I fooled them.

I have a pulsar wrist watch. I got it as a high school graduation present in 1997. It still works flawless.

It costed about 1300Sek (143 Euro). I even haven't changed the battery for several years and its still right on time.

I am a big watch fan.

Admittedly with a financial interest but still a great place for really unique timepieces.

Waiting for this one to arrive. Mecchanice Veloce Brembo Carbon-Ceramic watch

The only watch I own is a Seiko automatic somethingorother that I purchased in Hong Kong about 10 years ago. Never wear it. Never felt comfortable with a wristwatch, nor the need for one

.
I can think of a lot of things I'd spend money on before a timepiece

Meh, I have a few automatic Swatches, two timex plane leather band indiglo watches and another dark metallic metal watch I can't remember the make of. I have a breitling stopwatch if that counts, lol

I'm the same. I generally know the time to within 5 or 10 minutes and I've always got my phone if I need to check. I don't find a watch particularly useful, and think that most of the medium to large designs are the height of tackiness.
