I too have a Tag. It's real old school. Text

I bought it about 15 years ago and when I had it last serviced the jeweler told me it was a style that was at least ten years old when I bought it which makes it even older. All I know is it's real and I like it a lot.

I also wear a Dakota REQ which is pretty cool too. I wear this on occasion.

I pretty much don't wear a watch too much although I am having to wear one again lately. Been sporting the TAG because it's just so familiar although I'm thinking of switching back to the Dakota because it's more accurate and not so valuable that I need to worry about losing it. I need to get a metal bracelet for the Tag so I could wear it until it was worthless, lol.

I have a huge bright yellow G-Shock that I got about 10 years ago now, wow it is weird saying that.
If I don't feel like standing out I wear a black military watch, just tells time, no date or anything - analog with tritium.
If I don't feel like any watch I just use my phone

I don't wear a watch.

I use the analog clock in my car, the clock on my computers, the clock on the TV, the clock on the microwave, etc, etc, etc ...
There are lots of clocks, I don't need to have a watch. That being said, I am pretty good at keeping track of time in my head, and on top of that, I can always look at my cell phone if the time is really a mystery to me.

I have a Skagen, a Kenneth Cole, and a 50-year old solid gold watch with pieces of gold nugget left in place.

I've never worn the gold watch. :D

I have a cell phone. (Two actually)

And a clock in my car.

And a clock on my desktop.

And I work next to a bank with a huge time and temperature sign...

My satellite TV guide has a clock in it.

I don't wear a watch.

Swiss army. Leather band. Simple, but durable and reliable.

Well worn, though, about half the finish is gone leaving lots of brass showing. I kind of like it that way.

No watch currently, still shoping...Zenith's are too much, I'm looking at Baume & Mercier's I think.

I don't really like wearing jewelry so I rarely wear a watch. I have a Citizen Eco Drive watch but I never wear it.

I just use my phone.

I have a Rolex Explorer that I wear most of the time. When I don't have that, I might check my phone (T-Mobile Dash). I also have a Swiss Army watch and an ESQ that I use on some days when I don't want to rough up the Rolex.

About the same for me. I have to carry the phone, that is enough:)
