i have a couple of casio digital watches, an analog watch that also tracks moon phases and the date (although i’ve never really checked to see if it tracks the moon phases correctly) and an apple watch. i keep one of my casio watches in my bag in case i forget my apple watch at home or forget to charge it. aside from wearing them when i’m out and about i don’t really wear watches when i’m at home
 
I don't wear a wristwatch or any kind of fitness thing, but i do own a watch. I inherited my grandmother's wristwatch. It's really old and fragile, so I'd be afraid to wear it and damage it. I probably have more packed away somewhere, lol. Used to wear watches all the time.
 
I have two wristwatches, theyre not really expensive but i do like them. One of them I really like as the strap is pastel pink in color and costed only $6; it was part of a fundraising for cancer patients which was really nice. The other one my uncle bought on a whim as i needed a watch for my college entrance exam years ago.

I don't wear wristwatches very often, i find anything on my wrists irritating if it's there for too long. Even for big exams I usually put the watch on my desk rather than on my wrist. I only wear them during very special occasions when I remember to wear them, but I don't really care much.
 
Yes, I do! I’ve always had a soft spot for traditional wristwatches, even though I used to wear a smartwatch for convenience. A few years ago, I decided to get a Patek Philippe Nautilus replica just to see what all the fuss was about, and I was genuinely surprised by how well-made it was. It wasn’t the real thing, of course, but it had that timeless look and feel I was after. I wear it pretty regularly now, and every time I glance at it, I feel like I’m wearing a piece of art. It’s simple but classic—just a nice break from tech-driven devices.

I wear a casio all the time. My wrist feels naked without it 💀 I find it better to have multiple clocks rather than just my phone, and if I got a proper chain for it I'd probably carry around my pocket watch. Both my casio and pocket watch belonged to my late uncle. He was always obsessing over the time, and loved getting new watches. He'd get all him clocks timed perfectly to each other, and if they were a second off he'd have to fix them. Unfortunately some people were a bit patronising to him because of his handicap, so they'd give him kid's watches, but I gladly took them. Now that he's gone, I hold onto all his watches and they've lasted me forever.

My regular watch is a Casio! My "fancy watch" is a Timex.

My next step will be a pocket watch!

I understand how you feel about your uncle and... probably how your uncle feels. People actually ask me "what watch are you wearing today?" Even though they know I can't afford a nice watch.

I love time pieces, but I don't really care about cost. You mentioned he was given kids watches... I would normally be insulted by that, but this is my new "kids watch" that fits.

I can barely read the time, but I still kind of love it! BATMAN!! 😆 🤣

I wish I could have known your uncle.
