What do you wear instead? I've been wearing this for a while now.


I feel it's ideal and not heavy and cumbersome like a watch, I know it doesn't tell the time, I just look at the sun to find out what time of day it is, plus it only cost me 50p, A bargain I think you'll agree!

I wear absolutely nothing. I hate wearing a watch or any kind of restrictive item. Much to the annoyance of my wife as I will not wear a wedding ring.

I wear a watch, but mine is cheap and crap unlike some, does that count??

Tam the bam

No this thread is NWR Non watch related, you need to get something interesting or boring to wear round your wrist!

I like Boxst comment although I do wear a ring, but that's only because my finger is now too fat to get it off, so it's stuck there forever

David Lock

I'm in complete agreement with you on one this

Why on earth would anyone want 1/2 a tonne of Breitling/Rolex telling people just how rich they are?

Wearing an expensive watch IMO isn't a way of showing off as I don't know the difference between a Real Rolex and a poundland special and I have no interest in finding out. I find the whole watch fixation a bit gay tbh, no disrespect to watch lovers, but I think it's all about looking good, swish and glitzy down at the Blue Oyster bar

Yeah that's where the name came from, strange you found it so fast though :sus: Do you have it saved in your fav link folder?

little-ginge

for those who just cannot seem to get their heads round the fact that the world ( and SN!) does not revolve around which timepiece is on their limp wrists.....

a watch/non watch just for them!!

I haven't worn a watch for a fair few years now. If I'm honest it's a vanity thing as when out sailing in the summer I'd get a bit of a tan and when the watch was off I had the old white wristband showing, at some point I decided to simply leave the watch off to get rid of that tan line, which I did, and then I just didn't put the watch back on and have been like that.

If I need to know the time when out I'll look at my phone, or worst case, ask someone what the time is.

I've got used to not wearing a watch, plus the battery in the watch is dead and I keep meaning to get it replaced and will at some point.

I am at present wearing a wedding ring, but it's a very recent addition and it will be removed for certain things, especially sailing as I'd rather not have it drop in the lake or get caught up in a line or something else.

Quote " Many of you are aware of the recent Gay and Proud election that once again resulted in the crowning of the popular Liverpool gay icon Herbert Brown. The people of Liverpool are proud of this mans image in our community, and worldwide. Thus far, gay men and women in the country of all ages have shown their desire for sexual freedom and democracy by wearing a Green Fish Taco wrist band. Its the least we can do here in England is to show our solidarity! I urge you to please wear your green wristband with pride. The color green has been linked to the Green Gay Revolution here around the world, and marks the beginning stages of the toppling of the anti-gay regime in England and beyond once and for all. Whether you are Gay or not, I ask you to please do this for all free gay loving people world-wide. " UNQUOTE


Say no more.....How long have you been wearing that band ?

I am not homophobic in the least, and good luck to you, you are a brave man to come out on such a medium as ScoobyNet, each to their own, live and let live. X

Clarebabes

I bought one of these:



It was £14.99 from Argos and does me very well when out on my bike In fact, it stood up to me doing a 50 mile charity bike ride on Sunday, and I wasn't in the least bit worried it would get scratched or anything!

Clutter free wrists for me.

So glad I have zero interest in watches and is one thing that I've thankfully not wasted money on over the years.

You don't wear nothing! Which means you must wear something, so what do you wear? or are you just pointing out the standard of the British education system again?

dpb

Id be frightened of being mistaken for some crazed loon just escaped from 'hospital' wearing that thing


- havnt worn a watch since early twenties , always breaking them , too heavy on the wrist ( timex digital ), im not fussed about portraying some image and nowadays time is available everwhere

Leslie

You could say the same sort of thing for those who have a tweaked up Scooby with all the right bits attached and clear lenses on the lights of course!

My Casio is tied to the Rugby time signal and is always spot on and it is not that big really.

Having said that, Mrs Leslie can tell the time within a few minutes by looking at the sun as well! Clever clogs!!!

Afraid I have to wear a watch for work, sorry. We're not allowed to carry our mobile on us at work, and the only other way to check the time is to look on the couple of phones we have on the floor (opposite ends of the shop). Forget to check in time/misjudge the time and you lose your break.

However I'm off at the minute and I'm watch free right now. I too usually take mine off if out in the sun so it doesn't leave a white patch, not that I really tan that well.

I have a watch that requires rapid movement of the wrist to keep the time working

I have 3 watches, none are worth more than £50 & I currently don't wear any of them, or anything else for that matter. I've always fancied a Brietling, however it wouldn't suit me & I can think of better things to spend the money on.

Wristbands/Jewellery/Tattoo's are all pretty ghey IMHO, & that's exactly what it is, an opinion.

..onderful bloke.. never believed it , though

I don't wear a watch since carrying a mobile phone. If someone wants to wear a nice watch/crap watch/pink watch.....so what I don't get the fascination with interpreting what this really means. Its their choice and fair play to them.

Life would be boring if everyone wore and did the same things.

Will

What time is it???

TurboKitty

Eh? What? What did I miss? Details, man, details! (Congratulations btw!)



Hmm, wrist accessories... I used to wear a watch, (a G-Shock, so nothing special, and adequately able to stand up to my super-watch-destructo-force), but the battery died years ago and I never got round to sorting it out. I often have an elastic hair tie around my wrist, (convenient place to keep it if I have my hair down and might want to put it up, or have it up and then take it down ), or very occasionally a bracelet of some form, but more often than not I don't wear anything on my wrists.

Edit: I currently have nothing on my wrists but some Sharpie marker splodges from an earlier parcel addressing related incident.
