As I was taking off my current watch to put on my Workout watch, I notice I have a sort of collection of watches that I never meant to put together. Just seems of years of losing them, breaking them, replacing them, then finding them at a later time has the side of my desk full of watches. I have:
Suunto, Basically my everyday work watch.
Guess, Stainless black polished watch that I wear when I dress up.
Timex Ironman, for working out at the gym.
Polar HR, First heart rate monitor watch when I was doing HR Training.
Polar RS100, HR monitor that was designed for running bicycling, (so I didn't have to wear 2 watches at one time)

About 20 Mickey and 3 Citizen Eco drives. I only where 2 of them. Probably should get rid of the ones I don't wear so I can buy new one. I love watches more than purses.
I have two pocket watches and the phone.. One of the PW's hasn't worked in about 28 years but has great sentimental value..

couldn't find many watches of quality at a reasonable price, quit wearing them years ago... got two cell phones though.
I have about 5, somewhere. I don't wear one though. Most of them were gifts.

I have 2 Timex Expeditions for work/shooting/etc. I have 2 Seiko Kinetics for other stuff, and then I have about three antique pocket watches that I inherited over the years.
Last year I got rid of several that had accumulated over the years.

I own 4 or 5 but I really only wear one.
I detest cheap, junk watches and my wife loves buying inexpensive junk watches ... so over the years she kept buying them and eventually realized that all I ever wear is my Seiko.

I have about 8 - 10 watches. 4 of them aren't working - need to get them fixed. 2 of the working watches are Fossil watches. That's about as fancy as I can afford. 3 of the watches are "Adanac" watches (http://www.broadarrow.net/adanac.htm).

Running? Someone shooting at you?

Is that 4:00 or 4:05?
several but I only really wear one.
a lot of the others have dead batteries and I never replaced them, or I just didn't wear them any more.
my ultimate watch to have one day is a really nice Breitling.
I love watches more than purses.
I like purses better actually! Just bought a new coach last night at the silverthorne outlets actually!
okay okay...it wasn't for me, it was for the fiance and she has been dying for a new coach purse...I started the addiction.[Bang]

Oh, you poor, dumb man! You got her started on Coach purses? Why don't you get her a Doone & Bourke while you're at it? My wife has several of each (she has more coach purses AND more Doone & Bourke purses that I have semi-auto handguns).
Yeah, good luck with the addiction you created. One day we'll have to sit down with a few beers and reminisce about the days we still had $$ to buy guns!

LOL, funny you mentioned that because she already has one of those as well. and don't forget Kate Spade.
yeah we will definitely need to do that!

Only one. I have a Citizen Eco-Drive...not exactly sure what model it is but it is very simple and I love it. I only wish I could find a black one with continuous glow in the dark hands...that would be awesome.
My 'every day' watch is a Breitling Avenger Seawolf.

Aw come on guys let's give Sniper some credit for liking purses. They say a woman always carries her mans b@//$ in her purse. Maybe he likes them because he wants his.... to look good. That's probably why he got her started on purses.[ROFL1]

I haven't worn a watch in years. Probably still have one somewhere but I'd have to search. My electronic leash (cellphone) is now my primary time management device.

well if that is the case I am glad this one is nice soft leather with an extra security pocket because I want them to be protected and comfortable!
she got started on the purses thanks to me giving in...I bought a nice new gun, she wanted a purse and basically guilted me into getting it for her. that, and one of her co-workers got a new purse and was blabbing about it...and I didn't like that co-worker so I got her a badass purse so she could go in and make the co-workers purse look like a piece of shit! i succeeded, she was happy and the co-worked was silenced![Beer]
I am wearing my pulsar right now...has all the aviation gizmos on it that I know how to use but never need them.
One of the things I learned when living in Africa was Americans always have big watches, they are always concerned with time and in a hurry.
I guess I stopped wearing watches around that time. I didnt want to stand out any more than I already did.

I can see their point. it is amazing how people are attached to their phones, to the clock and always on a huge time crunch. I am one of them most of the time.

One of the cell phone crowd. [Shy]
I could easily collect vintage watches but the "time/space/money" factor comes into play. The only watch I still have is an early Timex Indiglo Sport.

You have to for your job! I am tired of waiting longer than 3 hours on the damn tarmac!
No shit. Get your shit together Sniper. I already had to pay an extra $40 for my bags, the least you could do is be on time!

Should we change the thread to "what is your favorite purse to carry?" I have heard: Doone and Burke, Kate spade, and Coach. Any Louis Vuttion takers out there? How about Burberry? LOL.
I am looking at a new watch now. I wear a Rolex Submariner now (blue face), but would like something a little more rugged for shooting, etc. Does anyone know about Suunto, any good?

It's much like our brainwashing to always answer the telphone when it rings - especially cell phones. I'm working on screening my calls and only answering the ones I recognize and desire to answer.

Yes, but to keep my manly-man status, I was scratching myself the entire time I was typing anything about purses.

it is funny when you are around a large group of people...like on a train or something. then go through your ring tones periodically and test them...then watch the amount of people that reach for their phones! i get amused with this[ROFL1]

just remember that if you are a man and carry one that it is a satchel...and indiana jones carries one[ROFL2]
dont have one but i've been looking at a Marathon GSAR lately, might buy one this year. those things are a beast! check countycomm
but i always have my cell phone, and that is what i use to tell time.

It takes a special kind of asshole to go through ring tones when other people around.
MOST annoying thing ever.

You're just jealous that you didnt think of it.

it is a lot of fun, you should try it! It is amazing at the number of people that don't pay attention until their ring is heard then all of a sudden they are hunting for their phone, searching, finally find it, then have a disappointed look that they weren't the ones with the call[ROFL3]
I've got to try that.
bet you enjoy it, lots and lots of fun. very amusing!
it is happens to you it sucks, but when you do it to someone else it is funny!
