SU seemed lonely, so voted with him.

I got my $1000+ watch for $150 in Thailand.

You have no idea what you're missing! When I look at a non-watch wearing loser and know how much better of a person I am because I'm geared up with the time on my wrist, well, the feeling is incredible.

Was it in a back alley behind the embassy? If so, you probably overpaid by about $140.

For some of us, a "$100 cheapo" is considered a very nice and expensive watch.

What does "Calculator Watch" fall under? I don't want to get people confused that I have a G-Shock. It graphs, too!

I bought a cheap $20 cheap moon watch at Fred Meyer about 6 years ago and have been wearing it ever since. I have had to buy new watchbands and batteries for it and it still keeps on ticking.

I went to the mall a couple years ago intending to get a ~$1500 Omega I'd had my eye on. I came home with a ~$60 Fossil and haven't regretted it once.

My watches have pretty much all been Fossil watches. I actually think the new style build your own watches with the interchangeable faces are great. I have one band with two faces that I swap out.

I haven't worn a watch since the 80s when I had several Swatches. There is no place that I'm aware of in the SLC area that sells Swatches, so I don't wear one.

I tell time by looking at the position of the sun.

How come the old guys like Creekster and 71 havent weighed in? Or are they embarrassed that they still wear sun dials on their wrists?

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
