My current collection. The Adina is probably my favourite.

I also love a beautiful watch. I have a cheap swatch one at the moment for school (it's got tonnes of scratches on it) but I'd love a nice one for my 18th or 21st birthday (I want a pen for the other birthday).

Mine was bought in India and looks nearly like this (same brand and series (TITAN Edge), but slightly different colour scheme). I like it because the dial is 3mm thick at it's thickest :D Although I never wear it because I have a phone haha





My dream watch (or clock) is the one hanging in MC though <3

I like to just have only one watch which I wear day in day out. Had this one for a few years now, never had a problem with it and the display with the date is pretty handy (kind of become reliant on that for remembering what the date is...). Don't really use the other random features all that regularly though. The (fairly lackluster) light and glow in the dark bits are handy for reading it in the dark too.



it's no longer in that great condition as the one in the picture of course :P

Come'on guys, the Monash sundial is where its at :P


On a more serious note, I used to wear a watch everyday to school, not something too expensive. At uni though, I haven't really worn a watch besides exams, because when you're running out the door in the morning to catch that train its something that can easily be forgotten and left behind. Mostly I just use my phone when I need the time now.

My current watch: http://www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk/images2/watch_images/watches_omega_gents/22258000_omega_seamaster_chronograph_c.JPG

I didn't actually buy it though, was a present from dad after he got a new one.

What do all those little dials show?

The one on the left measures seconds, the one on top measures minutes and the one on the bottom measures hours. Basically a complex stopwatch.

Oh I forgot to mention that mine has a silver outline where the blue is shown in the image above.

I have a Seiko Chronograph which I wear 24/7 (I sleep with it on, because I don't have an alarm clock and hence, need to check what time it is in the morning when I wake up :P)



Even though watches are slightly going out of fashion now, just because everyone seems to have a phone, I still prefer checking the time on my watch, just because it's that little bit easier, and it's just something I'm used to, having worn a watch day-in-day-out since early primary school.

Having said that, I do wish to replace my current watch next year, when I have some more money - hopefully with something like this:



Just looks cleaner overall without the chronograph, which I never use!

Wouldn't say they're going out of fashion at all. Even if they're becoming somewhat redundant in a practical sense, a watch is just about the only piece of jewellery a guy's allowed to have (minus cuff links perhaps, but that's only on certain occasions. Basically, make the most of it. I feel naked going out without my watch nowadays. But yeh, it'll get more important once you start working etc. It's quite a status symbol really.
