I have an antique pocket watch from the late 1800's that my girlfriend got me for Christmas. I wind it, and have no way to set it, so if I forget one day I have wait until whenever it stopped to wind it again 
It's great, though. It has a really old picture of some guy in a top hat in it.

It looks very, very similar to this one though, just with slightly different hands and different designs at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 positions. Also, the metal design around the main face is different, and consists of straight lines rather than the curve.
I've had it for 5-6 years now and it's never died on me. Solar power never fails.

Who needs a watch when every device a carry has a clock function? I mostly get the time from my phone.
I use a silver Seiko Kinetic. I'll try to find a pic.
No batts for me, suckas!
I also have a Nintendo DS, an iPod photo 60gb, and a Samsung T-Mobile phone as backups. Heh.
Edit - Seiko USA no longer lists my particular Kinetic watch. That said, it is 9-10 years old, so I guess that makes sense. It was one of the first Kinetics available, IIRC.

I was looking for a digital watch with a good, organized display and large digits and I found this. Very cheap too, so if I find a better one I can get it.

Same here.
Basically the black version of Matlocks. It's a nice watch. My issues are it never autosyncs. It is set to autosync at night but it is never successful, only works when I manually sync it. The Hand also ALWAYS comes unsynced. Sometimes the hand will be slow like 3 minutes after a week, other times it is perfectly synced for a month. The digital time is always 100% on though.
It's already got scratches on the face though (I've had it 4 months, I stupidly scratched it on a shopping cart the 2nd day I had it). That is what you get for relatively cheap watches though. Gotta spend $300+ to get nice crystal/glass.

Watches look nice, it is more for fashion than anything else.
Also, it is just a habit for me to look to my watch before I look to my cell for the time.
Plus chicks dig them!
