Which watch?

[Ketchup345]

I am thinking of getting a new watch for myself, and have it narrowed down to 3 styles. I'm heavily leaning towards one, but the other 2 have some good points.


Watch 1 (B) (http://tinyurl.com/y8g6lux)
Watch 1 (W) (http://tinyurl.com/y9g4z5t)

Watch 2 (B) (http://tinyurl.com/ye6l8lb)
Watch 2 (W) (http://tinyurl.com/y8bm44w)

Watch 3 (B) (http://tinyurl.com/ybd6aho)
Watch 3 (W) (http://tinyurl.com/ydwhxe5)


Which do you think I should get and why? I'll post my positives and negatives for each maybe tomorrow.

I'm liking the watch 1 (b).
It looks pretty nice. Fancy.
Kind of on the expensive side though, all of em are. :wacko:
I just use my phone as a watch lol.

Why, because to me it's the most appealing. It also the other nifty watch stuffs.
I'm too lazy to look up what a Chronograph is, so what is it's purpose?
Will you use it?

[Ketchup345]

Chronograph is the 3 dials behind the time- they are basically a stopwatch. On that watch (1), the far right is fractions of a second (from my understanding not completely accurate at that small of a measurement), the lower is the seconds, and the left is minutes (up to 30, then you manually count each 30 minutes).

I'll cover if I'd use it in my post tomorrow.

I've been wearing a watch since the late 1990s, so I'm used to using it for time. I'd like to move from a digital with leather band (quality replacements can be hard to find) to an analogue with metal band.

[Volcompat321]

I prefer analog myself.
A watch I used when I worked at the mental health facility was analog.
(Actually, I've never changed the battery, and I bought it when I started there about 5 years ago).
I got that thing from Walmart, for about $15.
Well, the chronograph is pretty useless it seems, but it still looks all nice and fancy. My vote stays.

I don't care what they do; the chronograph adds visual interest. Of those posted, I prefer the white version of watch 1. I really like this one (http://www.timex.com/Timex-T-Series-Chronograph/dp/B000OA69HY?ie=UTF8&prevPageletDesc=DP%3AAccessories&suggestedItem=B000SQP7YK), however.

So, after we pick the answer to this first round, will the CYOA lead to epic time traveling adventures?

If someone builds me either a DeLorean or a blue police box, I think some time travel would be appropriate.

Also please remember to vote appropriately in the above poll.

I'm liking watch number 1, in white... I don't know I have a thing for lots of dials and mechanical parts, always have, always will...

actually the watches I like are those spiffy ones with a glass face so you can see the clockwork in action.

[Ketchup345]

actually the watches I like are those spiffy ones with a glass face so you can see the clockwork in action.Besides not finding one at Timex (in my search for those 6 watches), I think they'd be too expensive for me. Also there is the whole part of trying to figure out where the hands are in front of the clockwork, I'll pass on those even if they do look cool.

[TalHex]

yeah... more things should have a clock work appearance though!

I wonder if they make a case for the macbook with the schematics for a clock... that would be spiffy

Sometimes you gotta bring out the classics (http://www.pocketwatchsite.com/sale/new/ch3861w.html).

[TalHex]

now that is one hell of a beautiful watch!

[Ketchup345]

Sometimes you gotta bring out the classics (http://www.pocketwatchsite.com/sale/new/ch3861w.html).For some reason I don't think that would be too effective in covering the glowy white spot on my wrist caused by my hand and am being tan around the watch's spot. Cool though.

Also my pockets are usually loaded with enough things, I don't need to add a pocket watch to that list.

Stain the white spot with your devil red liquid. You're so good at it. :wacko:

[CrimsomWolf]

I'm not an expert on watches, but the latter two look appealing.

That pocket watch looks awfully like Lunar Dial. God-dammed Touhou references. Get out of my internet.

All I want for Christmas is a pocket watch, monocle, top hat, snazzy vest, and an incredible mustache I can twirl when I'm feeling very self-satisfied and evil.

[ShinMaruku]

This has only just begun! :E

And a bowtie from your long lost relatives to arrive just as you step out to go get the one piece missing from your ensemble.

If one has an alarm that reminds you to return home to Ono-San who must be worried, get that one. I will try to vote above on the 6 choices given.

[Ketchup345]

Ok, update:
Minimum requirements for the watch were analogue, and day. Extra points for day of the week.

Watch 1 has the chronograph. I might use the chronograph occasionally if I were to get that one. Loses a point for not having the day of the week.

Watch 2 wins on price, points for saying the day of the week.

Watch 3 gets points for the day of the week, but is very expensive fr such few features.

Sorry to people who favored the white background, I think the black background wins. By the looks of it, I'm thinking it will be Watch 1B. I might order it by mid-January.
