This might just be the dumbest thread ever.

Interesting poll, I wear a digital for accuracy and durability. As a geek it suits me. I decided this year to ask for a decent -not expensive- dress watch for Christmas. Does anyone wear a Skagen? I like the looks of the face this one, wondered how well it keeps time and durability:

I take it you are still wearing a Mickey Mouse watch.

I had a clear Swatch in junior high school. The plastic wrist band eventually just cracked and fell off. Adios, Swatch.

I wonder what my old Swatch is doing right now? Sigh.

I bet she's still working. I have three Swatches that still work, two of them are older than ten years. Just switch the battery, band and you're good to go. I probably should give another brand a shot someday, but Swatch has always been there for me.

I loved the swatch guard accessory.

What about swatch guards, do you have swatch guards for you Swatches?

The very last watch shown in this commercial is the one I had.

This commercial basically encapulates the 80s better than anything short of a Duran Duran video.

No Swatch guard for me. It would ruin my rep on the street. People think you're soft if you need padding for your watch.

Per your avatar photo, your street cred is pretty shot, anyway.
