My first Swiss watch was a Swatch which I wore in elementary school and first year of high school. It was a really tough watch, I would smash it on the concrete floor like 100 times and it wouldn't break. I finally took a hammer and smashed it, well it broke. Then, I wore a Casio watch which is actually made in Japan. It lasted for over 5 years without any problems til my first year of college, the waterproof seal busted, so it's not waterproof anymore.
Right now, I'm wearing a Victorinox Swiss Army which was a pretty crappy watch initially as the strap broke during the first week of wearing it!!! I had to replaced for free, then after 5 months, the strap broke again! After replacing the strap, the water resistant seal broke, so I had to have it serviced. This has to be the crappiest quartz watch I've ever owned! The crystal of the Swiss Army watch is awesome though, no scratches at all! Well, I'm deciding to get a Breitling. I don't know if it's worth the investment, but I'm a big aviation fan, so that's why I'm thinking about getting one. |

Do people actually call them "wristwatches"? What other kind of watch is there? (Other than the verb?)
Anyways, I have a Swatch that I bought back in high school, I used to wear it all the time. Now I just wear it to work I have a Guess one my mom gave me a couple years ago, it's got a huge, but square face with Swarofski crystals (I think) around it, and a pink faux snake skin band.

I have two watches.
1) Somewhat cheap Citizen Eco-Drive that I wear everyday to work. I bought it because it is black and fairly dull (also the eco drive is cool). I'm a pig so I can't wear flashy stuff at night that will reflect. 2) I also own a $1300 Movado which was actually a college graduation gift from my parents. I wear it only on dates with the wife and for special occassions. I used to hate watches with a passion because it always seemed uncomfortable. Now I fee weird without one; until I walk through the door after work and notice it immediately and take it off. |
