Do you wear a watch? - Page 2

I can't have anything on me, especially my hands and wrists. That's how I ended up with my tattoo.

that's just what i mean, glatt. does it light up? mine looks almost exactly the same.....except it says timex, and the band is darker.

cowhead · 03-01-2007, 12:35 PM

got burned out on wearing one.. when I did I was looking at it all the damn time.. but I do agree with lumberjim about watch requirements.
although I prefer a blackface watch.. timex still makes the model my grandfather owned (although indiglo now adays) and I just love that straightforward style.

most likely to wear a big honking watch with a lot of gadgets like usb drives and calculators: stevedallas

Nope. That would be cool though.

It was a gift, and I really ended up liking it.

I have several, but usually wear a thick leather band watch with a rectangle Fossil on it.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo--me likey glatt's watch. Very nice.

I have a Tag Heuer. It is both my most expensive and my favourite possession. Unfortunately it needs a new battery and that costs about £70 so I'm not wearing it right now.

I occasionally wear a VERY PINK Hello Kitty watch, and one that looks like an apple from the local market (and cost me £2). I can't find either of them right now - I think the cats cached them (don't laugh, they do it with my earplugs)

So I've gone from someone who checks the time obsessively, to someone with no watch on at all. I feel quite liberated.

phone. Or car clock. which is set 15 minutes fast. it doesn't seem to help me get places on time, but my kids are very good at subtracting 15 from numbers less that 60.

I have a very old stainless Swiss Army Officers that I got for a wedding gift that I wear sometimes too.
Found it, mine is twelve years old.
