Do you wear a watch?  email this discussion to a friend?

I love my swiss army watch. But I wonder how many other people still wears a watch, now that you can get the time from your cell phone, iPod, etc. How much do you value a watch? Do you wear an expensive watch?

I wear an inexpensive watch that has stainless steel that cost me $21. It's been working and it's battery is guaranteed to run for 7 years. Digital Age rocks.

Yep. Watches seem to last forever these days. There can't be many watch repairers around.

i still love wearing wrist watches. i always wear one especially when going somewhere. i have 7 watches all in all... different styles and in different colors, with different brands, too. some of them are not that expensive while some cost much.

i do have a cellphone. but i still love and i feel more comfortable looking at the time with my wrist watch... anne


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Wow, 7 watches, huh? There is something nice about wearing a watch. But maybe that's just because we've grown up wearing them. Probably they'll come a generation that doesn't wear them and thinks they are very old-fashioned. Like pocket watches.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10395)   ranked 301 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

well, i am thinking of buying two watches again in another color. hehe. i am a watch addict!

oh, i don't like those pocket wathches, ring watches and necklace watches. i am more comfortable with the ones placed around our wrists... anne

Sounds like you have a nice collection started there. I assume you only wear one at a time. :-)

I don't wear a watch, I used to, but that was before I had a cell phone and I always scratched it up. I don't really see many other people wearing watches these days either... and it leaves an awkward tan line, ha.


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

That's kind of what I expected. Thanks for your response!

Hi Bravenewworld!!

i have two expensive watches but i dont wear it for a long time.but still its in good condition..
Thats true now a days people used to find the time through their mobile phone, ipod etc..


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Hi Coolgeth,
Yeah, but personally I can't imagine using my iPod to check the time. Maybe I just need to retrain myself..

I love my watch. The band is filled with Italian charms that signify everything that is special in my life. Right now the battery needs to be replaced and it is running slow but I wear it everyday so I feel close to those that gave me the special charms.


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Interesting. I thought some people might have a watch as a fashion accessory, but not so much as a personal keepsake. Sounds like a cool watch.

Yes, I do. It's not an expensive watch, just a simple basic model. It's been with me for many years.

I still like wearing a watch these days because I can very easily tell the time just by looking at my wrist.


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Makes sense. I also find a wrist watch the most convenient way of telling the time. Though I think I could get used to using just a cell phone.

I still wear a watch even though I own a PDA of my own. I had become a habit for me to look in to my watch for looking the time, even though I have a PDA on the other hand. May be it will take some more time for me to get used to looking into the PDA for the time, instead of watch. Also I feel I have lost something on those days when I go out without my watch on the hand. What to do?


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

It also feels weird to me when I'm not wearing a watch. Strange what you get used to and how strong habits are to break. Thanks for your response.

I wear a stainless steel/rubber water resistant watch that runs in army time, heh. I love the thing..'cause it kindof reflect on me a bit..it's practical and study..like my clothing, and most other things I own.

My watch wasn't expensive..I got it for a dollar at a church sale.

But then again, I don't own an iPod..or a cellphone, so..*shrugs* and time never was that important to me, but the watch has come in handy.


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Sounds a little like my watch, although I'm unsure what 'army time' is. And mine was a little more than a dollar, though not hugely expensive. Sounds like yours is as much a personal statement as anything else.

I have a cell phone in the car for emergencies, but never carry it around with me and rarely use it. I do have an iPod, but I've never checked the time on it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. xParanoiax (5014)   ranked 791 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Watch an movie with soldiers in it or google it. If you've ever heard a soldier in a movie say "Meet you at 0800 hours." He was talking about a certain time. I probably don't read mine right..but 0800 is always 8:00 for me. 1300 is one o'clock..and so on.


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

Right, I should have known that. But is the dial divided into 24 hours such that the hour hand completes a cycle once a day? I've never seen a watch that does that.

yes i do wear a watch but not always on my wrist. i do wear a wrist watch upon occassion, but i do have a clip watch clipped to my purse all the time and plus i have my cell phone.

where i sit at work there is a clock both on the phone (i am a receptionist) and on the wall almost in front of me, so i am good.

i dont buy expensive watches as i like to change them...these days the battery is almost expensive as the watch itself!


myLot reputation of 62/100. bravenewworld (357)   ranked 2,034 out of 26,925 in people  5 years ago

It is surprising to me how hard it is to find a clock when I'm out without a watch. There seem to be very few clocks around. But you seem to be well covered when it comes to figuring out the time. Thanks for the response.

i love wearing a watch. however i normally wear a simple watch and not an expensive watch. i still believe that the watch is the best way to check the time.
