I don't wear a watch. Not as some kind of statement, but both of the really nice watches I own ran out of batteries 2 years ago, and I'm too lazy to replace them. If I did replace them, it's be a Quicksilver watch that was a 21st present for daily wear and a pretty spiffy Diesel watch that I got as a wedding present from the wife for best. |

Registered 17 years agoI've got some talking watch that tells the time in Japanese, though the batteries are running out so it makes a horrific sound. -

I just find a watch quicker and easier than pulling out the phone every time I need the time.

No, we're talking about things that, besides having a purpose, also look nice.
Besides, a watch is a thousand times more practical. Not only don't I want to carry a mobile with me all the time, I also can't be arsed to fumble it out of my pocket just to check the time. -

Registered 20 years agoNo.
The LCD/ bit was a small bit of the face in the middle.
edit: that watch is sweet though.
e: cross that one with this one and we're getting closer.
Just noticed you said LED, could well have been. Some of the Novus ones on that site are v. close. -

Heh! That's the one I've got.
Have you ever replaced the batteries in it, as that's what I need to do with mine. Just wondering if it's easy to do, or whether I should take it to a jewellers. -

I've been wanting the Chanel Chocolat black ceramic version ever since it came out but it's a bit expensive so I haven't put in the money yet. -

A Casio G-Shock... Great watch... More resistant than the Devil itself...
Ain't that the truth. I found it funny when I read the little manual that the G-Shock is "approved for jackhammer use".
Awesome little watches. -

Not really - I wish though. But I could never spend that much money on what is essentially bling.
I have a couple of Seikos and a really nice Swiss Army brand watch, the face looks like the clocks on Swiss station platforms. -
Kind of forgot to actually reply to the thread's question when I commented last night.
