...watch. This Casio wrist watch was given as a gift by my big brother. My son was also given a men's Casio watch, which he stopped using since high school.
I usually remove my wrist watch when I arrive home, and last Friday, I accidentally dropped my watch on the floor. I picked it up and saw the minute and second hands were removed from the screw.
I wonder if the hour hand still rotates alone without the minute and second hands? It was pointing at 4 then now it is at 8.
It is good I have 3 more wrist watches. I plan to have my watch repaired tomorrow after my duty.
Do you have a 15 year old watch,or older?

I have an Omega watch that used to be my mother's. No idea how old that gold watch is, but I'm pretty certain it's older than 15 years.

@ridingbet Not sure about that either. Don't know much about it. All I know is that it's gold and it has diamonds in it.

@toniganzon wow, if i have that kind of watch, i would probably wer it only on special occasions where i am dressed formally, with high heels.
my Casio watch is for my duty, because it has a clear 'face' and the numbers are also visible.

my late father told us that the Omega watch is the most durable. i cannot recall, but he said that this watch's cover is made from the oyster shell.

i did not have a digital wrist watch. we prefer the watch with the hour, minute, and second hands. i don't wear a watch when i go to the city, and yes, i also rely on my phone's watch.

No watches. Never cared for things on my wrist. Not even hair ties. Hope it gets fixed

Well, at least you have other watches. I have two but I don't use the big one because it looked older.

no. I did have a watch that I had for many years, but it stopped working and my uncle didn't want to find someone to put a new battery in it. So now I get Walmart watches.

are the Walmart watches digital or manual where you should spin that wheel to get the hands moving?
