The irony of this comment is that wristwatches were invented to replace pocket watches,so that gentleman didn't have to use 2 hands to fish around in the pockets of their jackets or waistcoats.BimboBob said:None. Never worn one. Ever. Don't see the point if I'm honest especially if you have a phone.
So anyone who fishes into their pockets for their mobile phone to tell the current time,is actually doing something their Victorian ancestors used to find was such a nuisance to have to do.

Raymond Weil Tango for best. Seiko Solar divers for day. I have a few fakes from Turkey thuogh Breitling Navitmer SS, Tag Monaco Gulf Oil and Panerai Black Seal. Never wear the fakes just fascinated how accurate the copying is. But they do keep good time, and all three are automatics.

I did know that wristwatches were 'an advancement' on pocket watches but never picked up on the irony you have - thanks for that :-)

Yeh but try playing angry birds or ringing a taxi on a pocket watch.
I don't own a watch either, like bimbo I don't see the point if you have a phone.

Each to their own, I suppose but I've had a watch on ever since my mam and dad gave me one on the morning of my First Communion. I'd feel naked without one, it feels so much a part of me.
Anyway, I prefer Citizen watches, for all sorts of reasons.
