You realize of course, that I have not one but two frickin' watch affiliate stores and it's quite a temptation not to drop links here....

...but I have too much reverence for wicked fire. To me wicked fire is sacred and pure.

Actually, I'm lying. It's because I'm paranoid somebody would move into my niche.

Personally, myself, I buy the ten dollar watches from the street vendors who get them from China. So when one of my toddlers gets ahead of the watches and smashes it, I'm only out ten bucks.
 
Never seen his collection, but I hear that Engaged is quite the watch enthusiast.

I have an old pocket watch - Waltham - from 1892. Before I dropped it an broke the main spring it kept extremely good time. Less than one minute loss or gain per month. Don't own any wrist watches, I won't wear them, too uncomfortable.

My old Bulova broke the main spring last week. Now I'm out $85.00 and will not have a watch for 6-8 weeks. I should have went to watch repair school.
 
Bah, who needs a wrist watch when you got a cell phone.

*didn't check links, lol*
 
I am a watch whore, and as such am very proud of the fact that the only watch I've bought (for myself) in the seven years+ since I went jobless is a sub-$400 titanium Seiko. Every time I get a copy of Robb Report or Trader Monthly my brain runs through the different ways I could go about getting some absurd but breathtaking timepiece, and I always manage to talk myself out of it before it gets too far into my head.

The watch is powered by kinetic energy; it winds itself as you move your wrist around.......a switch on the back of the watch lets you adjust the air pressure passing through the turbines to compensate for “vigorous” and “extreme” activity.

I have a few watches, they're all gifts that range from mildly to amazingly expensive, and I've yet to wear them.
I might wear something like this or this though, just because Steampunk is sweet...
There's always this watch
I should point out that if there are any aff links in those articles, they ain't mine.

Amanda: Agreed...

Jizzlobber: It's not a comment that should be inserted there...
 
Why would they make a watch that complicated. Pretty soon they'll have atomic clocks on wrist straps.

But seriously, doesn't everyone have a cell phone now? Watches are so baby boomer generation.
