What Watches Do INGO Members Wear? "What's on your forearm"?

[Sylvain]

Haven’t worn a watch in about 20 years. Use my cell phone for my watch.

Get him guys!!!

My watch is shock proof and water proof, my cell phone is not.
My watch is solar powered so it can run virtually forever, my cell phone battery doesn't last long unless I charge it everyday.

I wonder if those folks who demand accurate time still wear a wrist watch? I'm talking about aircraft pilots, police, nurses, etc. The first decent watch I owned, I bought at the PX. It was a Bulova Fifth Avenue. The seal finally gave way after I wore it in a hot, moist climate for a year and it stopped. I still have it for sentimental reasons, but it is trashed.

I need accurate time at work, it's why I went with a radio controlled (You get "atomic time" synchronization via radio waves ) digital watch.

You won't seen much police or military folks without a wrist watch.

Most nurses wear a watch.
The ones who don't wear wrist watches wear an upside-down chest watch.

If you work in health care you need a watch with a second display (either digital or analog) to count the respiration per minutes of a patient (among many other things).
That one thing you can't do with a cell phone as most of them only display minutes and hours when they display the time.

You also have some folks who work in areas, or buildings, where they handle classified information.
They can't have a cell phone with them, so a wrist watch (with no wifi or bluetooth) is the only option for them.

Colt and Rolex, two of the good ones.

View attachment 145047 Colt and Rolex, two of the good ones.

I can't legally carry a Colt to protect my expensive Rolex, that's why I wear a cheap Casio.

That’s ok, I sold the Colt and normally carry a CZ or Walther.

I just got my Apple Watch Series 7 Stainlesd a couple of days ago. One hell of a piece of technology. $20/month interest free through AT&T was too good to pass up. My Series 3 Space Gray Aluminum was beat up on top, pitted from perspiration on the bottom and wouldn’t hold a charge through a full day so it was time to upgrade.

Carried a closed face pocket watchmy grandfather had for 30 years now.

I have two Deep Blue watches. They are a couple of my favorites. They are currently running a sale if anybody is shopping for a great watch for a decent price...

Met a nice Lady wearing a Rolex. Said she'd Earned it as a Sales Incentive. Noticed she was also wearing a large faced Timex (on the same wrist). When I asked Why the 2 Watches, she responded: "I wear the Rolex so You can see it & the Other so I can see it" You might have to be older than 40 to Understand.

If you talk about wrist watches you are telling everyone what generation you're from.

Before I retired all of the younger guys were making fun of me for wearing my old beat up timex. They all had there cell phones for that sort of thing, you know.

Oh well, to each his own. I'll keep my Timex and my short, fat, slow 45s. They can have their cell pnones and their 9s or 40s.

We'll all stay safe and be on time.
(Oh, I do own a 9mm also)

If you talk about wrist watches you are telling everyone what generation you're from.

Definitely more of a geographical/environmental/societal component than simply "generational." I'm in my thirties and have worn a wristwatch pretty much my entire adult life (childhood too, but those LCD screen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle watches didn't last very long). Putting on a watch is nearly as instinctive as putting on my shoes. Many friends and colleagues in my age range and younger wear watches. My BIL is 24 and he is a daily watch wearer.

Point is, plenty of millennials and Gen Zers wear watches.

I think younger folks wear watches as a fashion statement instead of their original intended purposes. If you wear a Rolex, it isn't because it keeps time better than a Timex. Never-the-less, whatever floats your boat!

Are Charles-Hubert, Paris pocket watches any good? I'm thinking about getting one. Been wanting a pocket watch for many years.

I don’t know, but I’ll bet there are some gang bangers wearing about $2 million worth of snazzy new watches up in Chicago right about now.
