Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How many of you wear a wrist watch?

Still wearing the same Rolex I bought in the Subic Bay Navy Exchange as a 21st birthday gift for myself in 1969.

I still think the old pocket watch is cool.

Same here.

Is the Rolex a 'small pee-pee' thing?

Just asking

haven't worn one since the 70's.

Trying to get out of the habit.

I like pocket watches...

My last watch died about five years ago so I thought I'd replace it with a pocket watch. I really like it but being retired I could really give a chit what time it is so I only wear it when I'm hunting or when I go to town (which ain't very often).

Same here, except it's within 10 minutes.

That's cool. Matches some of your guns, vintage wise too.

Suunto.

They are badass.

Hunter's watch with Sunrise, Sunset, Moon phases and a compass on the band. I feel naked without it.

Yep, the early days of work in refineries required my lack of use of a watch and other goods that could be grabbed. I hired in as a rotating equipment engineer... Did have a pocket watch from way back from confirmation that my favorite Aunt gave me. Youngest son tore it apart to "see". He is the next EdM engineer creation.

I wear my Seiko everyday. Kids don't wear them, they use their phones for everything.

I broke the band on my wristwatch when I went over the handlebars on my quad last winter while plowing snow. Haven't worn a watch since.

not any more

It matches my everything else.

I'm 32 and I wear my Seiko everyday because I think taking a phone out in the middle of a conversation or meeting is rude. Particularly "smart phones'" where checking the time always seems to lead to checking the blogs, Facebook, whatever. It also requires less movement so it is less intrusive to glance at a wristwatch than whip out a phone.

Yep, wear one always, everyday. Utterly lost & naked without one.
