Do You Wear a Wristwatch?

[Osem]

I have a wristwatch, I just need longer arms to see it...

[Gary L]

I have a Casio one with a built in calculator and radio

[LondonRoad]

I only wear one when I've got time on my hands

Nice piece of kit Hugh , I'm a bit of a fan of unusual watches having about 8 or 9 amassed so far, most are fairly inexpensive (less than £200) but most are unique looking. My everydayer is a Boccia (all titanium) as I have a habit of smashing them to pieces whilst working on stuff at work, so far this one has proved a tough little bugger

Nice - I got mine for my 50th, as I tended to go through most watches in about 2-3 years.

This one has lasted me six years, and hopefully will last a lot longer...

A 1963 Omega Constellation which was my fathers. Nice watch, but expensive to run - not much change from £200 for a service a couple of months ago - but worth every penny for the sentimental value alone.

Cheers

Nope, I do have a nice diesel watch indoors that I sometimes wear when I dress up, but otherwise I get my phone at my pocket, glance at my car clock, sat nav, etc and so on

I wear a Casio watch that has solar charging and links to the BT clock in Cumbria. I've had it so long, the plating is wearing off the bracelet but it still keeps perfect time and obviously never needs the battery changing

Oh I'm with you there!

I wear 3 for different occasions.
One is part of a matching set (I can't really read the hands too well - it's all for show).
One is for day-to-day wear.
One is my Dad's - all repaired and very special to me.

I often forget that my phone can also keep the time and that it has a camera, recorder etc, etc. It's not always switched on.
It seems natural to put a watch on before I leave the house.

How nice it is to not give a tiddle what the time is sometimes.

Yep I feel lost without a watch on.

Generally I've got a g-shock for work and general wear but I have a shiny, simple one if I'm going anywhere dressy.

Apeks 200m divers watch, ruber strap nice and tough, rotating bezels good for keeping track of parking times too

[denphone]

l have a Rotary watch which was given to me as a present last year.

The only time I wear a watch these days is when out walking in the hills or out on the mountain bikes as you can never rely on phone or GPS not to get nerfed through water ingress. My weapon of choice is a Traser H3 military watch with tritium illumination points on the face. Nice bit of kit if you need something functional and not flashy.

Whatever floats your boat Graham

[slowcoach]

I have a large collection of watches, mostly Russian and Chinese with a handful of Casio's for good measure. One of my latest acquisitions is a Vostok Amphibian 1967 Re-Issue Limited Edition, built like a Russian tank and almost as heavy.
