I got to thinking, Does any one on here wear a watch?

[rockhopper46038]

I wear one every day. Tag Heuer automatic on my wrist at the moment. My wife bought me a gorgeous IWC Fliegerchronograph, which I wear on special occasions. I admit I love the mechanical movements of a fine watch in the same way I love the mechanics of a fine firearm.

Never take it off.

Ive got a citizen eco-drive calibre 2100 that i wear on the weekends. i dont wear it through the week since im in a machine shop lab 4 hours a day.

I actually would like to wear a watch. Every time I try, it just gets torn up. I work on machines for a living so they get scratched up. I can't make myself spend the money for a good watch just to tear it up.

Just remember that 20 dollar timex is going to keep time just as well as that 20,000 dollar rolex.

Of the cell phone that stays in your pocket and doesn't get torn up at all...

That's a pretty cool feature, thankfully I don't actually need that function as of yet (a couple more bacon cheese burgers & I might though ).

Speaking of cool features, I have a spycam watch that is pretty cool to play with, with the snake camera attachment I can look around corners and stuff, I have been thinking about trying to mount the snake cam to the rail under my airsoft pistol to use in CQB games/training, but the actual watch itself is a bit big & bulky to wear as an every-day watch though.

I wear my watch only at work.

Funny, I'm not allowed to wear my watch at work and it drives me crazy! Only time I ever take it off, Seiko Kinetic Titanium. 5th anniversary present and everyday wear for almost 5 years now.

I got a malord watch for High school I have had to replace the battery once and it is great at keeping time. it is great.

 

[driver4562]

also they make a pocket watch line - you can get that straps to a belt loop.

 

[9mm Luger]

Wear one everyday during waking hours, I'd go bananas if I didn't have one on.

 

[win87]

Not sence I retired.

Cheap, but its an automatic and gets the job done:

That's what I use. Got tired of the wristwatch digging into my wrist with long sleeves and welding gloves.

 

[tyler34]

not for years but I have a few fancy skeleton watches for anything more upscale then shorts. I would love a gyro tourbillon and a portugese minute repeater.

Wear one 24/7. I always wear a watch but rarely carry my cell phone, or when I do carry the phone it is in my backpack. I carry my change in one front pocket and keys in my other front pocket, and either scratches my phone, so I don't carry that way.

I have a pocket watch made c.1897 but don't carry it that often. It is a daily winder and I tend to forget to wind it.
