I use the clock on my iPhone, look at the clock on my PC, or check the clock in the canteen. Even my car has a clock. Don't see the need for one really.

WHS - have not worn a watch in years....

[SupremeSpod]

me two. actually, more than a couple of batteries since it takes three at a time every few years



and it was that fossil that recently came back. had to go back to manufactur to be have the lcd fixed after it started to fall away.

i'm not wearing it now though. i got my fathers 1940's swiss chronograph restored a short while ago and i can't resist wearing it - it is a thing of beauty and a priceless memento.

Did he keep it up his arse?

My current Fossil watch I have had for about 10 years and cost me £65, plus a couple of batteries over that time.

More dive time is priceless....

The price on the ship was expensive compared to the internet, even without tax/duty, etc.

I'll probably rent the BCD, Regulator and Dive computer when we go diving, since we'll end up having to fly to where ever we go diving.

Pretty cool, but over-priced, even without tax, etc.

Anyone else see an irony in an iPhone user decrying frippery?

yes.

Suunto do some very funky dive computers as well.

Yeah, they had some Suunto Dive Computers for sale on the Cruise Ship we were on. Pretty cool, but over-priced, even without tax, etc.

I never used to, however it started to get annoying to have to pull my phone out and get the time. Plus, I learnt how to scuba dive (PADI Cert) out there and its handy having a watch that works underwater.

You'll need one of these soon then...

I wouldn't bother with a Tag in that price range - mine cost c£800 and it still loses fifteen seconds or so a week.

I think you'd be better off with a top of the range Seiko Kinetic for about half your budget. Or, up your budget and look at secondhand Rolexes.

Those rado ones look nice on a slender female wrist on the deck of an expensive yacht. Especially the white ones. Classy but modern.

Personally I don't wear a watch, except for my Suunto pulse meter when I'm cycling. I don't like being governed by the passage of time.

Am a fan of the Tag Heuer Kirim range. Very understated but ooze quality. Not the cheapest but I have had mine years and it still looks brand new. Quality is without question and classic looks are timeless. Proper quality watch without the bling that will date.

Just got back from our Honeymoon in the Caribbean. I bought myself the Limited Edition (Black Steel) Breitling Chronomat Blackbird.

Its got to be a Rado (also buy a matching gold chain) if you want the full DimPrawn, Stavros Flatley look. Remember also that your car loudspeakers should be more expensive than your car and the whole car-loudspeakers combi should be more expensive than your house.
