Do you own a watch ?
Do you own a wristwatch? I don't. Havent in years. I cant wear them in my line of work and I wouldnt wear one around the house anyway so Ive never felt the need to buy one.

Re: Do you own a watch ?
Nope. I lost mine many years ago and never bothered to replace it.
I've got a clock on my phone if I need it. I like watches, but I just don't feel the need to wear one.

Not anymore. Once the battery in mine died I never replaced it. I. Found that I wasn't constantly looking at my wrist wishing time away. Without a constant reminder of the time right in front of my face I find boring or difficult tasks to be much more tolerable. I have my phone if I NEED to know the time. Honestly, I like the idea of a pocket watch and a phone is the modern day equivalent. Good question.

Nope, ruined way to many of them working boats in my younger years. Lost the habit of wearing one by the time I got out of high school and haven't worn one since.
Of course back in my day wristwatches weren't the compact, weatherproof icons of accuracy commonly available today.

Re: Do you own a watch ?
I wear one almost all the time. I just find it more convenient at work, and I can't carry my phone when I'm in my harness anyway. I'm so used to it, it feels weird not to have it. And u always have one when I dive.
Re: Do you own a watch ?
I haven't for over a decade. I always have a cell phone on me so there's no need to have one.

Re: Do you own a watch ?
In the summer of 1999, I was fed up with replacing crappy digital watches every year. I wanted something that told the time and nothing else.
A Rolex Submariner has fit the bill ever since. Requires a tune up now and again, but otherwise perfect in any weather, in and out of oil, fuel, saltwater or sewage, and any social function.

Re: Do you own a watch ?
Can't wear one in my line of work. Wedding ring either. Sometimes I wear a caribiner watch on a belt loop. Clocks are everywhere (cell, truck radio, laptop), so I just don't need it. Anyway, does anybody really know what time it is?

Re: Do you own a watch ?
Used to wear one all the time. A real nice one too. Ever sence I've been carrying a cell phone though, I use IT as my time peace.
Re: Do you own a watch ?
Hardly ever look at it, but don't feel right without it on.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Re: Do you own a watch ?
I have a Rolex GMT. I don't wear it @ work but it goes everyplace else with me. I won't own a cell phone ever again so this keeps me on schedule.

Re: Do you own a watch ?
I have many but don't wear them since I carry an iPhone and I am in no need to wear a nice one to cue my status to others as I no longer care.

I know what you mean there mister! I don't know why but that really did strike my funny bone! Maybe because I'll be 45 this year
Re: Do you own a watch ?
I'd still like to have a Rolex.
Actually, I would rather spend the $ on guns. Way more fun!

Re: Do you own a watch ?
I had an Omega Seamaster, which was a perfect every day watch. But almost 2 years ago it was stolen from my vehicle and I haven't replaced it yet. I'm still too pissed about it to buy one again, I regularly check the local pawn shops and Craigslist hoping it'll show up. I have several other nice watches that I don't wear.

I have a Seamaster, some Marathon, and a Chronoswiss Opus.
Re: Do you own a watch ?
I have to wear one at work which can be a rather hostile environment so it's a cheap Timex Indiglo.
Re: Do you own a watch ?
I have a couple of watches, a generic and a dress, but I would have to search around the bedroom to fine them.

I carried a pocket watch as I kept breaking those dam Timex pos.

While I'd love a nice Movado or something similar, I'd never wear it regularly.
