[Closed] How many watches do you own?

Goodness knows how many I have in total if you include all the fitness watches, G-Shocks etc but in terms of 'enthusiast' watches I've got
- AP Royal Oak
- Parmigiani Fleurier Tondo
- Rolex Sea Dweller
- IWC Portofino Chrono
- Omega SMP
- Panerai 299
- JLC Master Compressor
- Seiko Orange Monster

Currently wearing an Apple Watch like I have done for months.

None. Haven’t owned a watch for 10+ years. Always have my phone with me so don’t need anything else for telling time.

So, how do you manage in situations where it’s impractical to take your phone out of your pocket to turn it on to check the time?

I can't actually think of any situation where I need to know the time so quickly that I can't just look at a phone / clock etc. In fact, I rarely need to know the time to any level of accuracy at all. I quite often leave my phone on a table and don't even have that with me. If I have a meeting, the Outlook pops up and tells me, other than that I don't really care what the time is.

A Seiko 5 diver for smart everyday (still using the bracelet that came with it)

a cheapo Casio digital from argos that has a cheap nato because the straps don't last very long on them - this is for riding bikes etc

don't want anything more than this

So there was really no point in you opening, let alone commenting on, this thread.

This is something that really bugs me about STW.

I'd like to add a Scurfa Diver One to my previous list!

It must be wonderful to live in a world where time is so flexible and casual.
Meanwhile, the rest of us live and work in a world where there are obligations that require a fairly strict adherence to accurate timekeeping.
Like employers, for example...

One watch. Although, like the poster above, I don't actually need it, because there are clocks at work and at home. But it looks quite nice.

In fairness, the irony of owning a lot of expensive watches, none of which actually do their primary job as well as a £10 Casio isn't lost on me. I'm not sure wearing a nice watch is actually about knowing what the time is...
