I must confess to being a bit of a fan of watches.

The cost, make etc is irrelevant to me but it's nice to hear the back stories of why you have the watch or watches.

So, let's see what you've got on your wrist.

Funny ye should say that considering a good friend of mine recently bought me a rolex to say thankyou fer something...watches are just about the only jewelry I wear so I like them to be good quality.

But alas...on xbox and have no idea how to take a picture of it and post it on the forums...screenshots yes but not an actual picture. Im open to suggestions...and no its not stolen or fake ^

You can use a site like imgur to upload a picture from your phone.

Also...dont ask what the favour was ^

Nothing.

Lol

I used to wear watches all the time. But in my old job I used to get them caught on things all the time, even more so in my new job. I lost or broke so many, I gave up.
So I don't bother anymore.

I just use my phone to look at the time.

So here is my watch;

I just have hair on my wrist, I do own two watches both of which ive not worn for getting on ten years now, both made by storm, and both need a new battery.

I think as phone became ever smarter they took the place of my watch.

I have a three watches. One is a classic Pebble, one is a Pebble Time Round and one is a basic looking watch, but the hands go backwards (and the numbers on the dial are in order anti-clockwise).

I've got one with a picture of a unicorn in the face. Not pony, but traditional art.

Mum got it for me at Christmas a few years ago.

Just when I think the worst is over you admit to this...

I don't wear a watch but I do use one of these:

Because someone has to own a Windows phone. Admittedly I bought it for the camera as it was the best on the market - still better then anything in an iPhone IMO

 

[StiTch]

I have a thing for skeleton watches, but I bought a nice one and it stopped working pretty pronto.

So basically, here's my watch now:

i got mine when i hit 9 and did my first communion. a catholic thing, all together with first confession (which i completely made up btw), it was supposed to make you an 'adult', so you got a tie and a watch to wear (and a crucifix, go figure). i wore mine with a sort of puerile proud for a while, until it broke. it was a plain watch with a textile band, striped blue - deep red - blue.

that i remember, i got two watches after that. one was a shiny metal seiko i got for birthday, submersible (big deal back then!). i can testify it was indeed submersible but it anyway broke too. the other was a golden one which had belonged to my father, don't remember the brand. i should still have it shelved somewhere but not really sure. anyway, i soon lost interest in those things in my teens. ironically, i ended contemplating that 'maturity symbol' as a childish thing. reactive much! anyway most of my life i have been ... watchless!
