I actually kind of like that watch.

I like minimalistic designs. The price of that thing would have to come way down before I would consider one, though. My current watch is a Casio G-Shock and cost a lot less than that. Ok, my watch isn't as elegant as the Ziiiro or some of the others in this thread, but it tells the same time.

Since everyone is showin g their watches, I'll show you mine, a Casio edifice, water resistant and robust like it was made in russia, looks good but nothing fancy

Oh, and I have a Citizen watch I use for special occasions, its a little more fancy with a leather belt

I have a friend whose preferred timepiece is an old pocketwatch.

Oh, that's pretty cool. I was thinking about fixing up my grandfather's old pocketwatch and using it, but I thought it might seem too pretentious for someone of my age.

I am most pleased with my Omega Seamaster Professional. Despite not diving any more, I think it has a nice classy but not gaudy look.

No prizes for guessing where mine came from

They still make christmas crackers in Newcastle do they?

A fence on the streets?

I just picked up one of these in the Bargain Cave at the Cabelas up in Maine for $50 bucks.

The luminescent dots on the numbers 1, 2 and 3 had fallen off...

It has happened.

GAAAAAH that would drive me crazy.

We had a cheap plastic wall clock in my office at work with hands but no numbers on it. It drove us crazy, especially when it came to discerning at a glance the difference between almost 4:30 (time to pack it up and go home, yay!) and almost 3:30 (another hour? *groan*).

I finally got fed up and painted numbers on it with White-Out one day.

I hate men's jewelry as much as men's cologne. The only jewelry I wear is a watch. I tried going with only my cell phone for a while but there are too many times when I am sitting in a class or at a table where digging into my pocket is a pain.

My daily watch, when motorcycle riding and around the house on days off; cheap, reliable, and not flashy, Timex Expedition Resin Case Camper Nylon Strap Watch

My new work watch, which I wear at the hotel, the Danish Skagen 233XLTMB Titanium Watch. Thin, subtle, and a great value.

I have a few other interesting watches, including one of the first Fossil watches, and a whole slew of the USSR Navy & Submarine watches. Those things were like wearing a brick strapped to my wrist

My current one is a fossil.
