Do you wear a watch and what watch are you wearing?

I have worn a watch daily since high school, except for brief hospitalizations. I feel that I'm missing something important if I start to leave home without it. I have my phone but it's not an essential item to me.
 
Yes! I recently started wearing one (an inexpensive Lorus, from the Seiko budget range) and actually I really like it as an accessory. I do have to admit that I still mostly check the time on my phone, oops!
 
Never used to wear one, but then my brother bought me a pretty nice one for Christmas so I wear that one pretty much everyday now. But it's more a jewelry thing than a time keeping thing. It's just pretty. :)
 
I never used to wear a watch until about 4 years ago when my husband (boyfriend at the time) bought me a citizen watch! Ever since I've worn a watch every day! He later upgraded me to a Tag and this year a white J12!
 
I used to never wear watches until two years ago when I had a watch obsessed friend show me her ways. She has every color for any outfit. My boyfriend bought me my first one, a simple black one and now I can't go any where without a watch. Collecting them is so much fun.
 
great thread! i am wondering the same thing too :p

i have a Tag Heur watch which i bought it 10 years ago but i haven't been wearing it for years and it's a chore to maintain the watch cos it's quartz. i brought it recently for servicing again.

i have been obsessing over the jewellery thread on how the ladies here stack their jewellery & watches, contemplating whether to buy a cartier francaise tank but dropped the idea when i found out the smaller model ( i have small wrists) is also quartz.

i hesitate to buy another watch cos i find it a chore to maintain and bring it for servicing though i think it looks more dressed up to wear a watch? for me, i am fine with having my h/p to check for time so to me, a watch is purely for "aesthetic" reasons? :shrugs:
 
I didn't until a few years ago when I started my current job and started getting a discount off of some watches. I got a really basic Swatch for work and since then I've bought a few more, now I feel weird without one!
