What watch do you wear?

[Narz]

I haven't worn a watch in years but it would be a good idea for me to get one now since I am taking the bus alot.

Any that you recommend? Preferably one that I can buy off Amazon & thus get a 6.5% kickback.

I prefer a metal wrist strap to a leather one, with numbers rather than without, silver (looking) as opposed to gold (looking), no ugly colors like blue or yellow (a slight neonish green or red is ok; just white, black &/or gray/silver are better), ideally under $100 (though feel free to post any really cool looking watches that may cost more) but post any watches that you like.

Also, does anyone have one of those watches that wind with the movement of your wrist? Do you still have to change the battery?

T'anks!

I wear a tan-wristband Coleman analog watch I bought at Walmart dirt-cheap. Good watch.

Silver Tag Heuer.

 

[Godwynn]

I got a Fossil wristwatch for free. It's sweet, metallic-silver looking and has the date.

I don't have a watch but I'll take cheapness anyday over shininess. of course, if the watch is both, then that's good too

 

[JollyRoger]

I wear a sundial on my wrist.

 

[Grisu]

A black and silver Swatch Irony. They look good, have a decent price (around $100) and are relieable

You can both metal and leather wrist strap.

this one

Me too. I'd rather get quality and good looks though.

The ideal.

I don't wear any. My cellphone is more precise that any watch you can buy, since is synchronized via high tech stuff.

But if you want to buy a watch, look for a thin one rather than thick one with loads of functions you'll never use. Thick ones are very uncomfortable.

 

[Gilder]

A cheap one. It's cheaper buying a new watch rather than a new strap for it.

I wear a chrome 12 year old Fossil with a blue face I payed $70 for at an outlet store. This is one well built hefty watch that has lasted through riding a skate board, working on cars and working construction. Before this I would go through at a rate of 3 a year.

I don't need a watch, I have an autistic savant follow me around who can keep track of time down to the second in his head.

I don't wear watches, sorry. I just have Baywatch.

oh way to be punny, LF

 

[nivi]

I don't.

Despite all the crap it gets, "what time is it?" is a great opener. And if push comes to shove and nobody's around, I just look at my cellphone.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I wear a tan-wristband Coleman analog watch I bought at Walmart dirt-cheap. Good watch.

I'll second the $10 WalMart watch, but I get one that looks pretty. Preferrably analog.

I have been known, at various points in history, to have carried a pocketwatch.

I have a Casio "tough solar" which recharges the battery. This one's bulky, which you should avoid if you can, but I'll bet there are other solar-powered models that are slimmer. A few other handy features: Phosphorescent style light-up is cool. And this watch has an alarm which lets you set the date as well as the time, a great feature for people like me without any actual memory in their brains. It's well under $100.

Rolexes are for new money wannabes.

I got a real deal for my watch. Waterproof, looks good... Less than 10 dollars, and new.

Thanks So.
