I need a watch

Post by leDoOd » Sun Feb 11, 2007 11:50 am

I need a good quality, good looking watch. Digital or analog will do, as long as the analog's seconds hand doesn't tic too loud (I had a bad experience with a very loud Swatch watch that's left me paranoid :P).

Does anyone have any recommendations of specific watches or brands? I trust Fossil; I bought one of their watches in France, but it was stolen... great product though.

I found this watch:

But it's $110, so I don't know.

I would just get a cheap digital watch. Expensive watches are essentially jewelry, and wearing expensive jewelry every day is just asking to be robbed (and looks really pretentious).

I like timex. they're cheap, they work, and they aren't all flashy and stuff. plus digital watches suck.

Lol, if I got an expensive watch I wouldn't leave it on the ground or flaunt it or whatever. I'm not an idiot.

Plus, I would argue that as long as I didn't do said flaunting around, it's not "pretentious" in the slightest. If I don't get up in people's faces, compare my watch to theirs, gloat about how much more mine costs than theirs does, brag how mine has more features then theirs has etc etc, then I'm not assuming any sort of importance in the slightest.

I don't know about 'Erica but here in Sweden there's a mobile phone craze
going on. It's really annoying. Disgusting ads on TV etc.
One in my class changes mobile every damn month and currently has TWO
mobile phones. And they play lame sounds and music you would only enjoy
if you were on drugs. All day long.

I like analog watches more. I've always used cheap ones, only need to check
time nothing more.

Man, the mobile phone craze happens all over the world, and it's already going on for years.

I'm using my mobile as a watch, that does the job. And it's damn cheap.

I'm a genius in killing wrist watches, it usually takes about a week till they're dead. I never ever would buy an expensive watch, it's a waste of precious food-equivalent paper.

Get a cheap watch, and buy a DS. You'll end up paying the same, but you'll also have a DS.

But wouldn't the DS ending up wasting what he bought the clock for?
No time = no need for some instrument to measure it with.

My sister already has a DS, and I'm spending more money at the moment on my Xbox 360 so... scratch that idea. Plus I want a good watch anyways so, yeah.

And I don't have a cell phone, don't need one. I'm always tight for cash and I can mooch off other people! :P
