Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
I have been idly looking at wristwatches on amazon - there's loads on there but do I really need one as 'the time' seems to be everywhere? On computers, smartphones etc

I wouldn't want a Rolex now because apart from being over priced, common, over faked and too high a price for the servicing of them. They might hold their price, that's if you keep them in good condition and a good service history. I wouldn't risk wearing one.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
Don't wear one anymore..Probably a reaction against having worked in a environment that was dictated by time at all times. I like not knowing what the time is.

Re: Do You Wear a Wristwatch?
Chevrolet brand watch I bought from a bootsale for £1. It has never let me down in donkey's years. I only wear out when going out though.
