how many wear a watch for work ?

[Logsnstuff]

I double wrapped my phone its in a rubber case then a leather flap on top gotta keep it handy to tweet jeremy vine.

Also lost without a watch

I don't ever take it off and if it does for some reason I find I'm looking at my wrist every couple mins because my brain needs to know the time. I have a Nixon surfing watch made to take a beating. I have never had it snag on anything in all the years I've had it on but I guess it could I won't wear a wedding ring for tree work tho far to dangerous

I bought myself a Stainless Steel Tag Heuer for my 40th, and got the wife one as well.

Been wearing it every day for 14 years.

(Though perhaps not when delving down the back of an engine mind.)

But built a a house incl tracking the walls for the elect conduit myself etc.

Swung a sledge wearing it, ditto an Axe.

After modifying the catch on the braclet with a cordless drill early in its life.

It is still like new cept for the scuffed bracelet.

I think it is on its 3rd or 4th battery.

I fancied a Britling or Rolex, but my puny wee wrist was better suited to the Tag.

The daughter now wears the wifes.

I cannot seem to get used to using a phone to tell the time, despite trying for a while.

Wore an absolutly cheap waterproof Casio for years in the TA.

Good watch, but crappy short lived plastic straps.

I think it finished its days on a fabric Army wristwatch strap.

They were properly designed, so that the strap continued through below the watch, therefore if one pin let go the watch "flopped" but the strap held.

Simply sensible that was.

Quite fancy one of Withams Ex Army "Waltham" (perhaps?) POCKET watches.

God knows where or why they were retained in storage.

What's a watch ?

 

I have a clock on my phone in my phone pocket, only wear a watch for best and special occasions, then I break out the tag

 

HI DEAN what do you think of TAG mate thanks jon

[Bren.]

Yes always.

Suunto Core.

Hard as nails, tells me the time, where North is and when it's going to rain.

Love my watch.

[White Noise]

I don't wear a watch all the time as I normally break them . Although I find I am much more productive if I do wear a watch .

[Mark Bolam]

I wear a traditional gold pocket watch with a chain.

I didnt have the stomach to carry a Gold Pocket watch back then.

It wouldnt have sat right on my skinny frame.

I could rightly wear on now though

Never wear a watch , they have lasted about 5 minutes if I have ...

I remember my grandad when he retired working for us chipping up and wearing a kinetic watch one of the first of there kind his dad had brought him as an officer in the war as a birthday gift ... He noticed it missing and I found it in bits after in the chip box like terminator still trying to work !! I felt so bad for him , worse was it was valued at 2k !!
