What watch do you wear from day to day

[Meady]

I haven't worn a watch since school, always use my phone these days. A watch would just get ruined at work aswell

I have a Casio HD which is digital but also has a normal clock face. It's waterproof, rubber, has stopwatch and timer which I use for tightness testing and gas rates, it can store ten phone numbers in it. Has a ten year battery and a load of other crap.

Only about 30 quid I think.

But I have to take it off to get my mits into boilers

This is my favourite.

I bought one of these about 20 year ago for a bullseye, was valued about £300.00 or so. Only where it when i'm going out.

Nice valuable time piece! Keep it mint

I have had it for a long time and unfortunately I didn't look after it either so not in great shape but can't get rid its sentimental value is more than its worth

I don't wear a watch. When I get hungry I go home. Normally about 2pm. In the mornings I can work out the time by my bowel movement. 6.35am, regular as clockwork me.

So when your asked what time you start, you tell them ten past turd?

Don't need a watch. My phone starts ringing at 08.15 and stops at 18.30 then my wife starts. I can't afford a watch and my life is punctuated by Moronic phone calls.

My guts have been loose since 2005. That was a bad bad year.

Ok, this conversation is descending into Mike Jackson territory now

No it's 06:36 as that's what he uses as an alarm clock

I use my iPhone for the time.
I have about 6 watches & only one is working with a fresh battery at moment. A couple of them are decent quality but I don't see much point in spending a lot of money on a watch as some of the cheaper watches seem to be very well made & I doubt if you could tell if they are expensive or not.
I have a £6 fake Seiko Kenetic watch which was > £300 for the real one & it is very high quality case & a dead ringer for a Seiko.

 

[kirkgas]

I wouldn't wear a fake watch, I would rather wear a £30 real watch than a fake of a £2k watch

Same here, each to they're own though.

Yes, I know what you mean, but that's fair enough if you are talking about a fake Rolex - everybody will guess it's a fake & a lot of them look tat. I have a fake Tag watch & a fake Seiko & both are as good a quality as any watch of at least £50. Both keep the time perfect & both look like I spent £300 at least. I was accused of being quite wealthy by a watch dealer once when he spotted the "Seiko".
£300 to me is 30 brand new watches! :smile:

 

[Ray Stafford]

I don't really understand why someone would spend £1000s on a watch.

If I had that sort of money spare, I might buy a painting or an antique or even jewellery for mrs s, but not a watch. The time is the same whether i see it on my phone or on a pricey watch.

 

[basildog]

I guess we all spend our money on what we think makes us happy ?
I used to be into motorbikes and would buy a new one on a whim but it was for using not like half my mates who spent a fortune on aftermarket bolt on rubbish that was like throwing money in the bin !
Then the colour coordinating gear ?
I wore scruffy old leathers and a decent skid lid while mates spent a fortune on custom paint !
Nowt as strange as folk !

 

[Ermintrude]

Had a very expensive pen for my 21st from gf at the time... Used it for work, found labour doodling with it in canteen, never wanted anything worth stealing since (with sentimental value)

 

[tamz]

I always wear a watch. Never take it off except to clean it.
I have dozens but wouldn't spend more than 2 or 3 hundred tops. All metal strap chrono's, all at least 100m, dont care what make.
I have seiko's accurists swatches secondas citizens briels timex etc.
2 or 3 good ones i keep for if i'm going out but usually forget to take it back off and it ends up as a work watch.
