if any.

I've always loved watches, old and new, mechanical, digital, cheap or expensive.

Currently I have 4 which I'm happy with; I wouldn't wish to add to these but could see my swapping one out for something different.

I know that now with the time constantly displayed on phones, tablets, PCs and other devices, many no longer wear a watch.

I love watches but I do have a terrible history of breaking wrist watches. Despite that, I do have a large collection of wrist watches that do still work but just need a new battery.


I am also the proud owner of these two 19th century beauties ...

Those are very nice.

Old batteries tend to corrode when not replaced, so you may want to replace them in the watches you care about otherwise damage can occur.

three silver and one gold, the gold one was a 21st birthday present from my grandmother, one silver watch was a present from my mother but I cant wear any metal on my wrist as it bring out an allergy

don't wear any leather products

wear a rubber fit bit watch during the day and even that gives me a sore wrist but its worth it to see how many miles ive walked and I find my sleep pattern fascinating...even if nobody else does

I own three functional ones, one more needs a strap, a second needs a new battery. I also technically have a further one which was my Dads but that's not one I'm entirely sure about the condition of but I'd surmise that it requires at least a service.

No watches, I hate anything around my wrists, just look at my mobile phone for the time if not in car or house.

I too am very "heavy" with wrist watches - previously even my "dress" watches managed to get severely scratched/chipped or similar.
So much so that nowadays I purposely get the cheapest semi-decent-looking watch I can and - if it is lucky enough to reach the age when it needs a battery - I just buy another.
These last few years, Argos have been ideal with el-cheapo Limit types.

It breaks my heart when I manage to ruin a good watch.
Though I do currently possess one of these :

I don't often dare wear it!

I have one gold (plated) Seiko Vivace with little diamond chips where the numbers would be, barring the 12 and the 6. Lovely watch, wear it all the time. It was a gift from the firm on my 50th birthday. Before that, I wore the watch I inherited when Mum died, but it was emotional attachment, I couldn't read it, too small. I also inherited my grandmother's gold watch (not plated) but it's too small on my wrist and no longer works.

My husband has a nice green-faced round watch with a webbing strap for everyday and a Hugo Boss presented to him by our son for special events. He also has a fake Rolex brought back from China as a joke by a friend. Oh yes, and I bought him a Birmingham City watch years ago for a laugh. The latter two are not worn.

Now if you asked me about jewellery, my answer would be considerably different!
