watches

hudson hawk can suck my ass

The watch I'm wearing at the moment is an S Club 7 one. It's made of translucent blue plastic and has a big button in the middle that makes the whole watch light up so you can see the time in the dark. It has a little tiny picture of S Club on it but you can lift up the plastic cover and take the picture out if you wanted to put a different one in.

I have a habit of buying watches when I'm bored or when the batteries run out. Fortunately, I only like cheap plastic watches so it's not a very expensive habit.

There are clocks all over the place and there's a clock on my mobile. (The mobile reason is probably why less people are wearing watches now)

Given the number of people who ask me for the time and the fact that you can get a watch for a fiver I think that watch wearing should be compulsory. Stop bugging me people.

I wear a watch so I get a tan line - otherwise people wouldn't know I had a tan.

I don't wear glasses and carry de-frizzing hair products.

And umbrellas don't really work that well anyway.

i now have a little pocketwatch thing that hank got for xmas and didn't want in my purse. When I have to know the time for some reason I saw "oh, wait there's a watch in my purse" and the voila.

2. also i won't have watch-strap marks on my tan this summer
For some reason I read this first time as "also I won't have to watch them strap mark s on my tan this summer"

3. mmmm, skinny wrists ... sexy ...

For the last 2 years I had a Swatch with a springy metal strap (and no buckle ect) and a plastic body, however I took it off and then proceded to tread on it and smash the plastic. I then attached an old swatch to it, and that lasted about 2 weeks. Sigh.

I can't stand not having a watch and not knowing the time, though I've been known to carry 6 different electronic gadgets that can tell me it. Also, can anyone decode the Northern phrase, "Have you got the right time please?"

what's to decode? sheesh, southerners

I like watches so much I wear them 2 at a time.

still havent got one

When I get rich I want a IWC.

I was reading the Financial Times on saturday, and they had a "my style" interview with some rich guy. He was going on about his watch, which cost something like £23,000.

There are a lot of luxury products I could imagine throwing away my money on when I make my fortune, but anyone who spends that amount of money on a watch must be completely fucking insane.

Bought one for 3200$ just a few weeks ago, though.

i bought one for £24.99 the other day. i think this is the most i have ever spent on a watch

I have a fake gold/diamond Cartier watch. My repairman said the work inside was better than a real one. lolz

If it was a PP then I could see the attraction. All other watches no.

I don't get people who don't get spending a lot on a watch. But there's a limit, as with everything. £23,000 is too much.

My parents bought me one when I finished grad school that I realized recently must have been around $3000. My first thought upon realizing that was how many things I could get that I want more if I pawned it. Obviously I would NEVER ever do that because it was a nice gift and it's pretty but it's also not really my style. I wear it to work and stuff but feel more comfortable wearing my silly old Swatch.

I would never have spent that much on a watch for myself.

my brother just bought a TAG watch for something like £1500, garnered some some wtfs from me as he isn't really a high-living big-spending type. Not sure I understand the culture of expensive watches, I guess. (Also makes me wonder just how much the watch he got me as a graduation present cost...)

My wrist has been lonely with both of my watches (aforementioned gift from my brother and a children's Timex one that cost me £6) lying around with dead batteries, instead of replacing the batteries I spent a hefty £12 on this:

Obviously only people with an interest in the art of watchmaking would - but the nice thing about a mechanical brand watch is that you can sell it, and fourty years later it's still a valuable object that you can pass on to the next generation or decide to sell it then. It's going to last forever and be sellable forever. Compared to a media center of similar value I don't think it's such a preposterous thing to do.

Yeah the one I was talking about is a TAG. I don't really get it either. I mean it's really nice but just not something I would ever have bought myself.

h8 wristwatches.

Friend of mine, lifelong non-watch wearer and also habitually late for everything, was recently sporting a watch. I expressed my surprise, and his answer was "well, I like staying married..."
