What features do you like for your timepiece?  

I would say Roman Numerals are a feature. Yes, I have noticed people popping their cell phones when I ask them what time it is. Take care and thanks.

You made me laugh, you even try to adjust it? That's wild. I'm afraid I'll ask people for the time after I get one. Thanks and take care.

No, I don't boycott walmart, I don't use it any more than I have to, but I'm not boycotting it at the present time. I usually get my watches from Kmart. With my current finances, I need to find one at the Dollar store!

There was a time when I couldn't wear a watch, drove me crazy until I loosened them up. Also when I lived in a trailer with wall to wall carpeting, I couldn't keep one running with all the static electricity in my body.

I don't have a cell phone. That would be another bill per month that I can't afford. Even pre-pay would be a problem right now.

So your roomy has similar taste in watches as me. Thanks and take care

Well, all the K-marts are gone here - we have Target and Walmart. I do know what you mean about dollar stores.

Yeah - well, at least the roomie has the excuse of being visually impaired.

The Dollar stores here charge only a dollar. I have paid 24 dollars at Kmart in the past. But with all my money spoken for and then some for bills, I might be able to round up enough bottles if I could get one to work for a dollar store for a dollar. That's what I meant.

Unless I buy divided or bifocal glasses, I'm visually impaired for close-up, too. But those things made me seasick and I don't think they really helped my reading. With occular rosacea (rosacea in my eyes), it's hard to get good prescriptions for me because every day the swelling in my eyes is different. My Father had this plus diabetes. He also had 5 pairs of glasses. He used to look at the calendar in the AM and try on all the glasses. Whichever one he could see with the best that day was the one he wore. Some days his eyes would change by noon and he'd do the calendar eye test.

I'm not considered visually impaired because they can get my eyes to 20-20 with correction and one some days even 20-15 or even 15-15, but that is for a brief moment in time. They know this, they check my eyes every time and I could have had 5 pairs of glasses by now, too. I'm often 30-20 or 20-30 when I go in. Take care.

I think the watch the roomie has cost about 10-12 at walmart

I haven't seen watches at the dollar stores around here, but I honestly haven't looked.

The dollar store thing, I was trying to make a joke, a few posts later, I don't think I succeeded.

I wear the surface of the watch on the inside instead of the outside of my wrist. I tend to smack my outside wrist on lots of things and it damages the face of the watch a lot. So we both like the waterproofing feature. Thanks and take care.

You're in a good mood, aren't you? I suppose I could do digital if no fancy stuff and it met the rest of my requirements. Thanks and take care.

Yeah, I am in a pretty good mood..I guess because I might have had a problem solved for me today..

So was it solved?

I wouldn't say exactly solved, but it is making my life easier for now..:)

What an excellent discription of your watch!

Analog is when you have the numbers painted on and the hands go around to tell the time. Digital is when dots light up to create numbers (digits) and there are no hands or painted numbers.

You like your numbers larger for the same reason I do. I like the face round and not oval, too. Oval faces confuse me and distort time for me for some strange reason. If I can't see the watch without glasses at night or if it distorts time, I won't wear it either.

Thank you very much for your reply and take care.

I buy cheap watches, around 24 dollars. They come with a money back guarantee in writing. I can't wear expensive ones, I'm too hard on them. Kmart stands by their watches in my area.

If I were to buy an expensive watch, I would ask around and find out who the real jewelers are in your area. We have reputable ones and shady ones also. If I had paid a lot of money for a watch (ever) and gotten burned like you did, I would be very upset, too. It would be a long time before I tried again. It's just that I'm outdoors a lot and I know the general time from the sun, but not very exact, so I need something that's with me unless I can find a really good outdoor clock and then I'd have to stop whatever I'm doing and go look at it.

Thanks for your caution on jewelers, I hope we've both helped someone today. Take care

Movement wound watches are really cool. My Mother bought one for one of my brothers and unfortunately someone asked him to help them break up a cement foundation. The watch ended up being "toast" after hours of doing that. She had paid a lot of money for it, and she was upset. After that, she only bought cheaper watches for us. Unfortunately, by the end of one year, I need a new face glass (I believe they are called crystals, maybe) because mine is all scratched up. I even wear my watch with the face on the inside of my arm to try to protect it and it only slows the scratching down. We're very hard on watches. I work cutting brush and bushes that include thorns and pickers at my house. I'm trying to reclaim an overgrown mess that used to be a garden.

Every time I watch Antique Roadshow on TV, they seem to have one antique timepiece. Often it is a clock, but sometimes it is an absolutely beatiful analog pocketwatch. The craftmanship is amazing. Especially in the 1800s and before. They really worked hard to make a masterpiece.

I'm very glad that your watch has a long way to go. I buy such cheap ones that every month past a year, I'm excited aboutit still working. I bet your Seiko will last a long, long time. I wish my lifestyle went better with a watch. I find movement wound watches facinating.

When my husband retires, he wants to build analog clocks as one of the many things he will do in his workshop. Thank you very, very much for replying. Take care

Bling is cool, bling is fun. So do you like diamond bling, glitter bling, etc?

Oh diamond bling would be lovely but i settle for glitter bling...

If I was your Fairy Godmother, I'd grant you a diamond bling watch and ring, and necklance and they'd all match. Have to keep up with the other Fairy Godmothers.

I would love a watch that would be a good investment, too. But I am very, very hard on watches. I scratch the heck out of the glass on the surface of the watch, esp. if I wear one like everyone else. I tend to wear mine on my wrist with the face underneath the palm of my hand and if I'm wearing a long sleeve shirt, underneath it to protect it for as long as I can. At the end of the day, I just want a watch that tells time, too. Look at it this way, we don't have to worry about someone sticking a gun in our faces to steal a big name brand watch when we have something only worth looking at for time. Thanks and take care.
