I was straightening out a dresser drawer recently and came across a few wrist watches I used to wear. With the time of day plastered everywhere I quit wearing one years ago. How about you...do you still wear one? For fashion, or to keep track of time?

I have one wrist watch but I only wear it if I'm going somewhere and I can't check my cell phone for time.

I'm kind of a purist.......I have probably 7-8 watches but wear 3 primarily;

This is the watch I have owned the longest.......it was my wedding present from my wife 30 years ago (We made payments for 5 years);

40426

I picked up 2 of these Tudor Tigers through the years. Tudor is wholly owned by Rolex and at the time these watches were made ~2000 they used the same case as the Rolex Daytona. I always liked the looks of this watch better as it has the date function that is not available on the Daytona.........and they are about 25% of the cost. The 2nd one of these that I have has a red face. They both have both the Leather as well as a separate Stainless Steel Band.

40427

But my everyday watch is the GMT Master II which has a 4th hand which takes 24 hours to circle the face and is used to display a 2nd timezone (typically Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)) hence the name. This is the preferred watch of many professional pilots as all flight plans and references when flying are stated in GMT which is necessary as pilots often fly through multiple timezones during a flight. This is also a popular watch with many world travelers, as I was in a previous life, as this watch allows you to simply adjust the hour hand independently and quickly when changing timezones.........all the while being waterproof to 10 atmospheres (330').

40428

I also Have a Rolex DateJust in Stainless and 18K with a factory Diamond face that I won in a sales contest at one point during my career which I seldom wear as it just doesn't fit in most situations.

On the dress watch front I have an ultra-thin Movado that they haven't made for more than 10 years......looks like the museum watch but much thinner and has an alligator band that is reserved for the once or twice a decade that I find myself in a tuxedo and it is the perfect dress watch for that situation.

Oh yeah I have a few "throw away" watches that I wear in various casual situations like the Tommy Bahama watch that works well with Hawaiian Shirts.....but so does the Tiger so the bottom line is that I have too many watches.....I truly am a "Watch Hound" :D

Found a few more that I had on my Instagram. This pretty much sums it up.

I change the straps here and there to give them a changed look. Cheaper than buying more watches.

Nice. I love my Movado.

I have a few watches. I wear one almost everyday. I like to wear a watch. I even have a cheap G-shock that I wear when surfing to keep track of time.

I always crack up when I ask someone who's wearing a watch the time and the reach for their cell phone.

My only watch is a Movado. I wanted one since I was 14. Got it as a gift from my sister in 2009. I love it.

This was Mom's 25th Anniversary Gift to Pops in 1978. Tips the scales at a little over 5 oz of 14K. He handed it to me last Christmas with the following orders...."Wear the damned thing"......yes sir!

Carl that's pretty cool. I don't wear jewelry, but if sentimental value came into play I probably would on special occasions. :thumbup:

The unpretentious person I am had me wearing an array of Swatch Watches back in late 80s and 90s. No I never bought any of the silly accessories.
