So you can gauge my generational response better, I'm 35. I wore watches when I was younger, pre-cell phone, but don't anymore. I think watches are more of a fashion accessory than a functional tool. I think everyone here feels the same way. Otherwise this thread wouldn't have so many high $$ watch brands listed. I don't see anyone talking about their swatch watch.
I'm 27 and wear a watch every day. I have a Seiko Kinetic that I wear to work (including quite a bit of time in the water), and out and about. I also have a Rado that I wear sometimes (but not to work). I've worn watches for years and always check my wrist before I pull out my phone, if I need the time. I love the mechanical aspects of them...I'm not a digital man (except that calculator watch back in the day
).
That being said, I don't like that watch one bit. Not my style at all.
I'm hoping my next watch purchase will be an Omega. Always wanted one.
