I rarely wear a watch anymore.
I used to wear a Patek 18k yg with leather strap, various Rolexes such as GMTs, all steel Manual wind only, steel autos and two-tone. Only Gold Rolex was with a strap, never cared for the Presidnent. Omega I personally liked better, I had the Moon Watch, Seamasters, DeVilles...etc. I still have classic 60's Seamaser-Deville - before they changed the line and separated the two names...I was part of something differnt once upon a time...wore nice watches, had some Bulovas and whatever.
Kept the one, others given away ...
Personally Hate...quartz watches. I prefer manual wind or automatic. Times change, "I guess I need to wear one sometimes" ...only rarely so I "put up with the thing"...
I bought the LLBean Field watch in steel with strap, that is now my "nice watch" with casual pants and attending school...when I wear one.
I have a $1 LCD or two, one is supposed to be in the truck, one in my backpack. I took the band off the one in the truck , just in case I get caught out and need a watch, or if hunting, and I or someone needs one to know when to meet back or somesuch.
No clocks in many of my classrooms, so if leading a class and not at a PC, sit on desk to see time...I was using the $10 analog [not digital] but I messed them up and cannot find...I hate digital, I mean I detest them, still for a $1 at the grocery store, they work.
I used to see the pin lever movement "Dollar Pocket Watches" around here...not a shopper maybe still avail...about $5. Great for sitting on a desk and giving a presentation , speech...whatever, easy to see "without checking the time".
I gave a pre-test the other day for a class, did not feel right asking to borrow a watch, snagged a laptop, used it for a watch...read my online text...test went fine, I had a timepiece and got some reading done...
