I've had the same Seiko kinetic watch for about 5 or 6 years now. It was a gift, but I know it cost $350. I would never have spent that much on a watch myself - but this is a nice one: Looks classic, never needs a new battery, keeps perfect time, etc.,. And whenever I look at it, it says, "THADEUS, IT IS TIME TO MAKE SWEET LOVE," and that's sorta awesome.
i paid $65 for my fossil blue and ive had it for about 5 years now. best watch ive ever owned. i cant believe some of yall paid over $500 for a WATCH??? than again some of you might say the same about me paying $500 for microphones - to each his own.
Damn...watches are a place where I spend money and however irrational it is, I still love them! I have a few watches, as I try to make them each very distinct: Rolex Daytona (stainless w/ Black face) - Nuff Said! Cartier Santos (Stainless) - ($3200) - Classic, Stainless, Lightweight and clean watch. Of course I cracked the glass and so that and the 'tuneup' cost me $700 freaking dollars. The girl over the phone when she sensed my discomfort after telling me the price proceeded to say "Oh..but its SOOO worth it" STFU! Bvlgari Aluminum Automatic ($2300)- Rubber/Aluminum frame makes it look to 95% of people as an academy rubber watch, but I love it. U-Boat Tauchmeister 1937 - ($1000) An oversize refurbished WWII submarine watch. The face is the size of my wrist with a strong black band and a large time adjustor knob. I have a few other watches that are for other purposes and DON'T plan on buying another one for quite some time!
My most recent one was free...It is a Kenneth Cole Silver watch, but honestly, I use my cell phone more...I had this old seiko that was a gift as well, but over 10 years old and a Gucci one that I rarely use...
I am beginning to resent this... if you keep this up, I am no longer capitalizing your nick correctly, KingCheetah.
First and last watch I'll ever purchase, some Movado - Only wear it when Im trying to impress a cutie or when im all dressed up (which is never). I prefer to use my cell phone as my watch.
Are you serious? The world is surrounded by clocks. There's one in my car, and on every computer I use, and several in my house and in public buildings and in court and, basically, at least 50% of the time I can look up and see what the time is. The other 50% I don't really care what time it is, and if I do, it's really not a strain to look at the cell phone. The worst part of carrying a watch was being asked a dozen times a day what the time was.
my brother gave me his old Tag about 10 years ago. i still wear it, but i have no idea how much it's worth. don't really care. i have a digtial watch i got at academy for around $50 a while back. it needs a battery replacement.
So, how many people really need a watch? I do need one for my job... I like that I have a rough estimate of the altitude and temp. Also, we operate on military time which still confuses me, so I need a watch that shows 1900 instead of 7:00pm... and an alarm on a watch is much easier than carrying an alarm clock everywhere. Now, whether I need the watch I have is another question, but I gave the specs to my wife one year and my watch was a Christmas present... I certainly would not have spent more than $50 if I was buying a watch myself.
I haven't paid for a watch in at least 10 years. When the one I have breaks, that's it; no more watch at all.
