I have some eddie bauer watch that is seven or so years old. It doesn't stand out or look all that impressive, but it works.

Hands are a little different, but for all intents, that's my watch.

i'm not criticizing, but just curious. What's the attraction of watches? Style? Function? Impressing the ladies?
i can't bring myself to buy one now. i was never really fond of them, except for the functional geeky ones, and i always hated the way the bands irritated my wrists. Now, i've got a cell phone, and i've got stuff for my PDA that does the job when it's out. i think the popularity of cell phones have really pushed watches into the style/luxury category.

Having the time wrapped around your wrist is far more convenient and practical than having to carry around a phone and pull it out just to look at the time. Plus, I'd say it's become a "fashion accesory" or whatever you want to call it on the same level of normal jewelry and whatnot. So if you're going to carry around the time in the most convenient and practical of ways, you might as well do it in style!aoi tsuki said:
I don't have a watch, don't really care for one. No offence to anyone in the thread either, but I don't think any of your watches look that great. I wonder how much you guys paid for them :-\
Really if you're going to tell me you got them for something other than looks, I think you should've gone with a cheap Timex or a better-looking knockoff.

I'll tell you, I'm not particularly fond of the watch I posted a picture of, but it gets the job done.
My *favorite* watch is one that belonged to my grandfather while he was alive. Damn cats knocked it on the floor and broke it apart though :-\
I've got another nice watch floating around here somewhere. I'll scan it if I find it.

got it for like $45 at Sears after 600 or so various price-downs. I think it's originally $65-70.
Why did you take a photo of your watch right on your crotch? @_@ For someone who tries to fight off the cock, you sure do like slipping it in a lot...so to speak.
I've been using some $15 digital watch I got at some hardware store a couple years back.
I'm looking for a nice watch that ONLY has the time and date, and is very simple, with a metal band for under $150.
Haven't found one yet, which is pretty pathetic. Most watches are shit.

That one is pretty nice, however. Hate the white though.

That with the sapphire background. I needed a dress watch, and then when my regular watch broke I just started using it everyday.

Watches I have:
Tag Heuer Kimium Quartz (blue face)
Casio Classic G-Shock (with those thick black G-lide sport straps)
Nike HRM Triax (heart rate monitor)
Nike Triax Speed (present from my brother last X-Mas; currently wearing but needs new battery =P)
Out of all the these watches, though, the Triax Speed is the 'cheapest' one but gets the most compliments...go figure =P

my dad had one since the 70s...the seiko kinetics are something else. once in a while he shakes it a bit and its good to go.
anyway, i have an oldass casio digital, i had it for about 10 years, easy. no battery changes yet. its one of the sports models with world time, etc. personally i love watches, its a part of me, i dont feel comfortable being w/o a watch around my wrist, i feel naked.
i need to buy an old fashioned dress watch for wearing with suits and formal clothes though. but for everyday use, i cant use anything but digitals...about time i got a new one though.

Yeah, Movados are really simple, let stylish. I don't need my watches to look busy, tell me the date, or any of that stuff. I myself don't think I'll ever own a Rolex simply out of fear of losing it.
