Do you use a wristwatch, NSGs, or do you consider it a thing of the past? There are a lot of people who don't find it useful, they use the mobile phone to check the hour.
I use a wristwatch on a daily basis, I actually own 5:
The “expensive” watches are two: they’re actually expensive without quotation marks but they didn’t cost me, since I got both as gifts from my grandparents – one is a Longines, gold-plated, very traditional quartz watch, with gold hands and a black leather strap, about mid-Eighties, the other one is a Squale diver watch 50 atmos (meaning 500 meters deep waterproof), even older: late Seventies / early Eighties. I rarely use those two, they're precious and must be preserved, so I use them just only in some special events.
My "medium" watch is a Thermidor, Swiss made, gold-plated with a black leather strap, its design is very similar to the Longines above but the case is more egg-shaped (the Longines' case is more round), I got it as a gift too, but it's probably worth just only about 50 $ (its price as new should had been something like 100-200 $) and that is three-four or even five times less than the Longines (I'm not sure about the quotation, however, and I don't care so much since I'm not going to sell it).
My cheap watches are somewhat more interesting and use I them in every day life: the more recent is “IE-LY” brand, made in China, the background is white with arabic black numbers, the hands are wonderful old style and very elegant, the case is plated in rose gold as the hands are, the strap is in red leather, this is worth just only about 10-20 $ and it's not even waterproof however it’s my preferred one for everyday use - actually I bought this one because it looks much more expensive than how actually is
I also have another wristwatch made in China: pale pink background, oblique arabic numbers in the higher half but a little mess in the lower half (it’s supposed to simulate a complication with planets but it’s a fake), the case is plated in rose gold, the strap is black leather – no waterproof, worth 10-20 $ as the other, I suppose.
They all have in common: no chronographs, no complications (apart from the fake thing on the last, but it's purely decorative) - just hands and numbers (4 out of 5 don't even have the date, just only the Squale have it).
So, NSGs, do you own a wristwatch, do you own more than one?
If you like to wear a wristwatch (or smartwatch), what kind do you own/use?
And, if you don't like them, or you even hate them, why?
