kokoon Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 i've just realized today - there are more people without one than us, wearing one! IT'S US THAT ARE WEIRD, NOT THEM!
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) I used to wear one but it's so tedious taking it off every time you go to bed or have a shower and then having to remember to put it back on so I stopped wearing one. No accessories for me at all actually, and it's great. I just remembered this one occurence from when I did wear a wristwatch, it was at a trainstation, a girl came up to me to ask the time after walking past one of those gigantic high precision railroad clocks and before taking out her mobile to send a text... Also, what's with those gigantic watches that seem to have become hip in the past year? Wearing one of those is like wearing a huge 'I'm an idiot' sign on your wrist. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a nice watch, some of those really futuristic ones are cool even, but those gigantic gold rimmed disks, fucking hell. Edited September 13, 2009 by 277: 930-933
Guest ezkerraldean Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) why do you have to take it off when you go to beddy-byes? Edited September 13, 2009 by ezkerraldean
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I find it uncomfortable to sleep with a watch around my wrist and there's the added risk of injury when masturbating furiously or fistfucking your loved one.
chaosmachine Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Most people have a cell phone that tells the time, so watches are kind of superfluous. I don't wear a watch anymore, but I did when I had a day job.
QBLA Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 i have like four of them... 2 of them i wear all the time. a fossil and a diesel. the guess and kenneth cole i hardly wear. actually the guess i don't wear at all anymore. the kenneth cole one i wear when ever i wear a dress shirt at dinner or something. the fossil and diesel i wear according to what type of shirt i have on that day (the diesel i wear when ever i wear a polo or button up shirt... the fossil i wear whenever i wear a t-shirt)!
Squee Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I'm wearing my dad's old watch. It must be around 25 years old.
sneaksta303 Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I wore a watch when I was living on the streets, as it was a valuable tool. Once I got a roof over my head however, it was rendered rather useless, and I find them uncomfortable.
plstik Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I had a few when I was younger, but I always forgot to wear them. Also I cant stand those chunky silver pieces around ones wrist.
thehauntingsoul Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I have a very strange aversion to watches or any type of accessories for that matter. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, piercings, watches.... none of it floats my boat. I've never worn a watch, and I don't plan on ever wearing one. Same with rings... ugh... I dunno but when I see someone all decked out like that it makes me cringe. Even girls who wear lots of rings and bracelets and shit kinda ruin their beauty for me. Also fuck spending superfluous amounts of money on things designed to make yourself look better when human beings look just fine as they are. I'm ok with hats and makeup and a realistic amount of earrings on a girl but beyond that its just too much. Anyways back to the watch thing, yeah I have a cell phone so I'll never need a watch. Considering I'm 20 now it would look even more ridiculous if I suddenly started to wear one. In conclusion, spend your money on food, drugs, electronic goodies and such. If you really need to make a fashion statement buy some clothes. All that extra shit is completely unnecessary and in my opinion it actually usually makes you look worse. maybe its just me though

kaen Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 currently wearing a seiko 5 sports i love seikos and have many, very reliable and hardy timepieces
Squee Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I love the orange up against the blue. Very 80s :)
Guest leprechaun Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Yes always where a watch, though I take it off in the evening. A watch is kind of a must for nurses and it needs to have a second hand for counting heart/resp rates, so I have my ugly work watch as well as an every day watch. I have a couple of nice watches for special occasions too, including a platinum Bulova that's a family heirloom
Dementia Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Casio Waveceptor with a NATO style Maratac. When I refused to own a cellular phone, I was into watches. I've always liked to carry as little as possible so it seems a bit redundant now that I caved and bought a phone. Lovely watch though.
kokoon Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 i really don't see my watch as a fashion accessory, it's there just to tell the time. i don't own more than one watch, i like my stuff to be low-maintenance, so i'm really happy with my tissot automatic mechanic watch. no hassle with the batteries, doesn't need winding, ... i'm also using a velcro strap, as i don't like the heavy metallic bracelets, and the plastic ones make you sweat too much under them. what i meant to ask with this thread was more about the fact that some people carry the time-telling device on their wrist, while the other carry it in their pocket. i think that's quite a difference, i think it's much more accessible on the wrist, which probably also means that people that use their cellphones look at the time less frequently...
gaarg Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I've developed time telling to a degree where I don't have to look at the time for hours and I still know (by around 5 minutes) exactly what time it is. I'm quite proud of this fact, only the autistic part of it scares me sometimes...
Guest taxman Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 i own this watch, which i bought just so i could take this picture of it and i neglected to return it to the store afterwards. i have never worn it.
Joyrex Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I have an old Fossil watch I've had now for about 7 years... the face can change colours from olive green to dark blue.
kokoon Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 oh, forgot to say - i've had my watch for nearly 10 years now. i wear it every day, but take it off for the night.
