I feel naked without my watch as have been wearing one every day for the past 30 years. I have a fake rolex and a fossill that i wear all the time but have got others stuck in the back of drawers

This is a bizarre request but i’m curious to see what other ppl watches look like... a simple google search of the model number should direct u to some pics; do share the links!

Here’s mine; http://www.motionwatches.co.uk/diesel-dz2107.htm

purplemedusa said on :

filfish... ppl tend to spend time, money and energy in finding a watch that suit them even though a watch isn’t such a necessity as it used to be... maybe a thread title such as “what does your wristwatch say about you” would’ve been more interesting...

filfish said on :

not at all, i just thought your watch looked better than mine, as long as it tells the time i really dont care whats on my wrist (as long as its not too big and bulky)

but it would be interesting to see what peoples wrist watches say about there personality if there is a link?

LittleSpooky said on :

Mine’s been pinged so bad that some of the text has been scraped off.

It’s a digital as well as “clock face”. It tells 12 / 24 time and has a second time zone as well as dual alarms.

I like it because of the 12 / 24 time (at my former job, when we filled out paper work, it was done in “military” time ... 24 hour clock so it helped with that).

I have no watch.. I actually don’t know why I stopped wearing one, I think it was when I moved here, I spent quite some time home and didn’t need it.. and went on like this. I either use my mobile or I look at the clocks in the street, train stations or PC :)

Go to Collections, then go to Oyster Professional then click on Explorer at the bottom of the pic, mines the first in that list. the small one with the black face.

ally77 said on :

I also stopped wearing watches years ago..... so don’t own one anymore.... I think I got sick of the comments “why is your watch on the wrong hand”.... it got boring after 20 odd years of hearing it!

ncurran said on :

I dont wear a watch either, as i carry my phone around with me that i can tell the time from, but i think i will have to buy one aswell soon, as i wont be able to hve my phone on in the classroom

Santi said on :

I don’t have one either, because the cell phone tells me the time as well as a watch and I usually carry a cell phone. Well, sometimes I don’t, but I got used to not having one.
About the wrong hand, not many people asked me why I was wearing it on the wrong hand, it’s a rather weird question, in my opinion! :D (I always had it on my right hand because it disturbed me a lot when using the computer mouse)

ally77 said on :

I do keeping looking a watches which means I must want one... I did have a great one once which I got for a birthday, I think it was my 20th and then it kinda got lost in the house move!

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

mine’s a Acurist, can’t find it on the internet as it’s a couple of years old. It’s silver with a blue face. Have more than one though, depending on the clothes I’m wearing!!!

DaminehGessle said on :

I like mine quite alot. This is the link to it:

Although the colours don’t look as intense as in the picture.

Mari said on :

I haven’t have real watch since I got mobilephone where is “watch”.

zaine said on :

I dont have a watch either.
I have a chunky one for when I am snowboarding so I don’t have to search for my phone but it is too big to wear normally.

Jud (moderator) said on :

actually I have no clue what watch I would like to buy if I’d want one :S

Ncurran: can’t u have the mobile on but silent in the classroom?

purplemedusa said on :

Great. So now you know it’s time to shut up.
