By accessories I mean things like watches, caps, any jewelry, etc.

All I got is a necklace, I'm thinking I've got to get myself a watch (I've been using my cell phone for time for the past few years).
 
wedding band
engagment ring
earrings
small plumeria/diamond pendant.
thats it.
 
nothing. I can't stand wearing jewelry of any kind. Don't even wear my wedding band anymore (it was damaged and we haven't replaced it).
 
no "accessories" now.. but as a teenager i did wear one of those punky looking necklace things. as a kid i wore a watch. today i wear a tie. i'll call that my "accessory"
 
A belt. That's pretty much it. I can't stand wearing jewelry and crap like that. It just annoys me. I don't even wear a wedding ring...haven't in many years.

All engineers in Canada get a ring when they graduate.
Engineering Ring

The Iron Ring is a symbolic ring worn by some Canadian engineers. Obtaining the ring is an optional endeavour - the ring is not a prerequisite for practicing professional engineering in Canada.

The Ring is given as part of "The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer" [1], written by Rudyard Kipling. The popular legend has it that the rings are made from the steel of a beam from the Quebec Bridge, which collapsed during construction in 1907 due to poor planning and design by the overseeing engineers, killing 75 construction workers. Although this is not true [2], the Ring is a symbol of both pride and humility for the engineering profession.

The ring is always worn on the little finger of the dominant hand, where the facets act as a sharp reminder of the obligation while the engineer works. This is particularly true of recently obligated engineers, whose rings still bear facets nearly sharp enough to be considered serrations. The location of the ring on the dominant hand also means that it is the furthest from the wedding ring that is usually made of gold or other precious metals. This symbolises that monetary gain should not be what motivates an ethical engineer. This symbolism, however, is not necessarily true for left-handed engineers.

The Iron Ring originally was made exclusively from iron, but graduating engineering students are now typically given stainless steel rings, which do not rust. Protocol dictates that the rings should be returned by retired engineers or by the families of deceased engineers. Some camps offer such iron rings or so obligated "experienced" rings, but they are now rare due to both medical and practical (industrial/construction site) complications.
 
A watch and a pair of glasses. Well, the second one is kind of an accessory, only difference is I might walk infront of a car without them.
 
I cut the emblem off of a guys harley that said harley davidson and made a grill out of it. I wear it alot. Along with a hat that is crooked, and so damn many rings... i call it a Mr T starter set....
 
I used to wear earrings in both ears, a chain wallet, necklace chains...things like that. these days, I could care less how I look, as long as I dont look trashy.

Comfort is the main thing for me. The only thing I caary around now is a watch sometimes, and my pda on my krusell side holster.
 
I occasionally wear a watch. I put it on in the rare instance that I remember where I put it when I last took it off.
