I've got a few Seiko watches (titanium and self-winding), a Kenneth Cole watch, and of course, my Timex Ironman Triathalon. :D

I see. This explains a lot, you know.

Like what?
Maybe if I had a James Bond sort of watch, then I'd have a few ideas.:D

Just reminded me of these:

that was seriously the last watch i wore. it was a birthday gift when i was around 5 or 6 and i loved it but my teachers probably didnt. never really found a use for watches after it died.

i had the one without a joystick and it came in the box like the pics at the bottom. oh the memories.

Haven't worn one since middle school. (10 years ago)
I got my 1st cell phone only 4 years ago.

For the 6 years I didn't carry a time piece, I got the time by asking someone else or looking at clocks in the area.

I hate watches because my hand is too thin and most won't fit it.
Those fake $50 "gold/silver looking" watches that adults wear won't fit my hand leaving me to only crappy plastic/leather Timex watches with holes in them like a belt.

Yep and I actually a little feel lost without it.

I feel naked without mine. I also bought a fairly nice one a few years back, so I'm pleased to look more classy than a gadget-obsessed kid.

Using your cell phone for *time* looks incredibly immature.

Yes, I have had a wenger, tag, three Rolex watches, four invictas, a casio...now I have one Rolex which I want to sell as I don't think they are that great, still have the casio and am getting a panerai clone watch from ebay. My grail is two Omegas (Speedmaster and Planet Ocean) and a dress watch, preferably cheaper but still nice.

I don't wear them for functionality but rather for fun.

A vintage Omega for the weekends and a Kenneth Cole for workdays. :) I always wear a watch.

I used to, but then I found I always took it off at work because it was heavy and I didn't like typing with it on. So I figured what's the point of wearing it if I always take it off, and I don't anymore. If I could find a light, comfortable watch, I'd probably use it, but most of the watches that I like are too heavy.

I feel naked without a watch on. My current one is a Tag which I got as a birthday present from my father about 7 years ago.

I never really wore a watch before, but then I got one as a gift from my husband at Christmas and I cannot live without it.

Very nice, I'll have to look at one at my dealer. I am currently wearing a Breitling Chrono Colt. Similar to the one you posted, but I like the face of the Omega.

Nope can't stand watches. And they look tacky and gaudy. Can't stand anything on my wrist or fingers. If I ever get married (which I don't want to anyway) I'd never be able to wear a wedding ring. Would drive me nuts.

I hate wearing watches and I'll never wear one. I have this uncanny ability to know what time it is, within +/- 15 minutes.

yes, a citizen eco-drive titanium that I am absolutely in love with. I dislike watches and jewelry but have made an exception for this one.

i also dislike cell phones in general, even though I have one. they're pretty much an ultimate conceit.
