What time do you wear?

Wow...all these expensive watches on audiophile's wrists. Now I know for sure I'm just a poor slob. Truth is I carry a sundial. No batteries, no winding. At night or on cloudy days when it doesn't function too well I just sit back and listen to my Bose system. At least I have a state of the art stereo to entertain me while I wait to become "time updated" again.

A Tag Heuer for everyday use. My grandfather's gold Hamilton retirement watch (circa late 40's) for dress.

I saw this vintage 1930's Ebel Sports Classic in a used watch shop on Melrose street like 10 yrs ago. It was love at first sight. 4 years later, I tried to go back to that shop and buy that watch with my first paycheck, assuming that watch wasn't sold, or they had another one similar to it. But, I couldn't find that store. So, I bought a new one. I am not a big spender, nor do I usually wear watches. But, I never leave home without that watch now. I get nervous when I don't wear it. I am afraid I'd lose it.

Timex Ironman Triathlon. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking (well, it would if it were mechanical). For a reasonably cheap investment, it performs the job admirably. As a kid I used to have a thing about watches - mostly seeing how well they lived up to the specs emblazoned on the case (shock proof - well, wonder if I can drop it from 10 feet?; water resistant for how long?). I've beaten the hell out of the Timex for a number of years, and besides replacing watch straps - it's been remarkably reliable.

nothing.

all the cell phones, pagers, PDAs, plus the clock in the car, really no need for a separate time piece.
