How many watches do you have?

Louise

I'm being nosy here!! Do you have 1 functional watch? or do you have several? Do you treat them like jewellery and wear different ones with different outfits? Do they vary in colours sizes and styles? x

Ooops I suppose I should tell you all what I've got!
1 large white Timex skeleton automatic watch which I had for my birthday
1 small white watch with diamonte detailing
A red fossil watch

The following need new batteries and are currently out of favour
A diamonte dress watch
Brown mock croc strap mother of pearl face
Brown cuff style strap
Silver effect men's look watch thought the bracelet is fading and it looks a bit scruffy

I'm hunting for a purple one, yellow one and a black one.
I wear a watch everyday and treat in like jewellery changing them to suit my mood or outfit x

Just one -- a big "boyfriend watch" that I wear every day and continue to love. It wouldn't work with a formal outfit, but formal outfits aren't really a part of my life.

I'm just getting my mind around the idea of changing my handbag regularly. Having to select a watch as well might put me over the edge!

I love watches! I have a few and I do switch them around depending on what I am wearing. I have two silvertone boyfriend watches. I also have a silvertone ladies size watch - I've mostly been wearing that for dressier occasions these days though in the past I wore it every day with everything! I also have a mixed metal sort of bf watch with a brown strap that needs replacing - I've been wearing alot of earthy colors & gold jewelry lately and I really need to get the strap so that I can wear this one more often!

I have 3: a special occasion watch, an everyday watch, and a "I can beat this up" watch. I always wear a watch but stick to metal bands so the watch can go with anything.

Oddly enough my watch is the one item I don't like to swap in and out based on outfits. Otherwise I would own watches with bands in lots of colors to swap out as needed.

I *had* 2... my favorite one just broke, a round Fossil watch on a metal bracelet with tiny 'diamonds'. I have a bf style watch but it's heavy for every day wear. Hmm. I'll see if either I have mine fixed, or maybe find a cute replacement. It was perfect for everyday wear!

I only have 1 and I rarely wear it. It's from Nike, so is totally gear. I mostly use my phone to tell the time. I wonder if the next generation will even wear watches anymore?

I have three--one for every day (mixed metals), one for dress-up (all gold-tone, also the face) and one for sports/diving made out of black plastic/rubber. Whatever it is it's indestructible. I would like a white or green watch, but it's not high enough on my priority list for now.

I have 3, one not working but I haven't tossed it either. Anne Klein metal bracelet style watch, a Gucci silver watch with leather multi wrap around bracelet, and my Mio Motiva Petite for sports and work at the bar. These days since I'm not working I don't wear a watch unless I'm running (for Heart Rate) or my Gucci on occasions where I dress up for the evening.

I have one: a stainless steel men's watch made by Skagen, purchased about 10 years ago. I just change the battery every few years, and I'm good to go! I haven't grown tired of it, and I still get compliments on it. I guess cost per wear is looking pretty minimal at this point :).

Just one... a white Toy Watch that I splurged on for my birthday. I do wish I had a couple more so I could change according to what I'm wearing.

I have one bracelet watch, but no longer wear it. So, my official response is "0". I use my cell phone.

I have two and am actively seeking a third. My watches cost a pretty penny though so it takes me a while to build up the collection

I have two both donated to me by Angie, and one that I got when I was in college but don't wear. Pink Swarovski crystals aren't really my style...

I have 4, I think, but I regularly wear just one. Two are dressier watches, one from my parents, that I always forget about - mostly because they're gold and I rarely wear gold. The third is a gear watch, Ironman brand I think, which does all the split laps and countdowns and all that jazz, which I used to use a lot when I was doing long-distance walking training. The last is a Citizen Ecodrive in silver with a white face which my husband got me for Christmas a couple years ago and I wear mostly every day. I do take it off when I work on my laptop because it is uncomfortable when I type (the same reason I rarely wear bracelets and bangles).

People who constantly check the time on their phones annoy me, for some unexplained reason. It just somehow seems ruder than discreetly glancing at a watch or a clock on the wall.

I have just recently fallen in love with beautiful watches. I bought a Michelle silver tone, with glitering diamonds, of which I can change out bands to suit the occasion or mood.
I also bought a black agate framed Michelle watch, with diamonds, on smartbargains.com. When I saw it I just couldn't resist. It must be an old style that isn't seen around much anymore. I have seen it on other websites in white too.
I have a box full of various watches from over the years, but the Michelle are the only ones that are stylish.

One - and changing the battery is such a hassle that I no longer wear it. I have to head all the way to the downtown Fossil store to change the battery because no one else can pry the back off of the case without breaking it!

I'm still lusting after both of these watches - and have been for a year - but it didn't seem like a practical option when I was wearing wrist braces half of the time. Maybe Santa will treat me this year.
I also love this ceramic watch but it's definitely out of budget.

I have one rectangular, very streamlined and beautiful Baume & Mercier stainless steel watch with a black face. I got it for my 21st birthday and it hasn't left my wrist since - it's pretty much my prized possession.

I have one which I keep for sentimental reasons (first gift from Ben) but I'm unable to tell the time off of it so it's never worn. I have a hankering for a very small oval faced gold bracelet watch but it's not a priority.

I have two -- a stainless-and-gold Citizen with mother-of-pearl face and some little diamonds around the bezel, and a big chunky white ceramic.

Kristen, I was on the hunt for one of those for most of the mid to late 90's lol! I finally gave up because most of the ones I came across were cheap looking. Did you make yours into a necklace or was it intended that way? (I"d love to see a pic sometime)
