I just use some cheap digital watch from wal-mart. It gets the job done, and the battery has lasted a really long time compared to other watches I've had.

No, I used to use a watch but I lost my old one so now I just use my cell phone for the time.

For once I completely understand where your coming from. There is a great deal of sentimental value in a watch. A certain degree of dignity and pride in having such a nice and functional thing. Unfortunately I have long since stopped wearing watches for that reason. The mental anguish that comes from breaking a nice watch. I always had a penchant for shattering the crystal, or dropping it and causing damage.

It has been a couple years since I wore a watch, and now usually use my cell phone. I am just not in the mood to wear another one just to break it and feel guilty. I dare not wear my jewelry for the same reason. I can't bear the thought of losing it, or damaging it.

That might be part of the equation. Unless your in a position to be extremely careful with them they can be a liability. That and being in a throw away society once broke its not worth fixing.

I had semi-nice one, but it broke, so I got another one that was really nice, but that broke too. Now I just use my phone. However, when I'm running, I use a cheap $5-$10 watch (with a stopwatch feature) to keep my time when I'm running.

Well, we reached an understanding!

I guess it is easy to break watches just like most other things you wear. Personally I don't use a cell phone so that's not something I have to keep time with. As far as the watch business goes there's still tons of mechanical watches being sold (go Switzerland!) and very few watchmakers left (and not many getting trained) so there's no shortage of work. I have found it interesting to hear what people use to keep time.

I don't wear a watch anymore. I tell time with my cell phone though.

I get a Casio G-Shock G2300 series watch. I am not sure what its exact spec is.

This one:

I'm thinking of getting a binary watch. And those LED/inverse LCD are also nice. I've never worn an analog watch and probably never will.

I do wear a watch. it is part of my job outfit. Shirt, Tie, Suit, Shoes and Watch. Thats why I have bought a watch that fits my suits. I got a silver band as I dont want to go into that all black (shoes, belt, watch) and all brown (shoes, belt, watch) stuff as you then have to have two watches.

My watch is a Certina DS Tradition made in Switzerland:

And fkusumot, I really like your watches as they do one thing that a lot of new watches dont: They are simple and nice to look at.

I received an old silver (very thin) pocket watch from my great-grandfather when I was 10 and my parents decided to fix it. I am so scared to brake it that it is sitting alone in a cabinet, it's something that I have only worn 5 times since then.
