Does anyone on here still wear a watch?

If so is it just a timepiece, a fashion statement, an heirloom or a conspicuous show of wealth?

For me I'm currently wearing a 1940's clockwork Minerva, which falls in to the heirloom category, but I usually wear a Skagen just because it's beautiful :good:

My everyday wear is a simple Casio G shock.

My fancy watch is a Tag Carrera, which I wear to show off.

Got a Tag Heuer for fancy days and a Swatch for everyday use.

Seen a nice Armani watch which I've been nudging my dad to get me for Xmas.

The funny thing is though, even when I'm wearing a watch, I'll still look at my phone to check the time.

I don't have a watch. Haven't had one for years.

Do you use your mobile to tell the time then or a you just not time-conscious? I've always been a slave to timekeeping, I hate being late for anything and as I get older and so have even less time to waste :( I'm becoming even more like Mr Stimpson.

I have a vintage Omega, it's gone back to them for a service and that's costing more than I'd ever consider paying for a new watch, madness.

Yeah, usually mobile, clock on the windows task bar etc....though I have a weird knack of knowing what time it is without even looking.

I can wake up in the middle of the night and I usually know within 15 mins +/- , what the time is.
