Why do you need a watch when you have a phone? I stopped wearing a watch soon after I got a cell phone.

For the same money, I'd rather have a Rolex. Luminox makes kick [censored] watches.
Speaking of watches, we need a show and tell thread. Chopped54 wins, Doc is a close second. Ha!

Because I don’t pull out my phone on calls/traffic stops to get the time.
And a nice watch looks classy with a suit/business attire.
And it’s easier to wear a gps watch for running than carrying a big phone.

I just don’t get the whole Rolex thing. Nothing about them say “I’m worth 5 grand” Maybe I’m just THAT classless or tasteless. Right there with you, nothing about a $5,000+ wrist watch sounds like a good idea.

I'm still wearing the same $150 Fossil I've had for 5 years, just replaced the battery a month or so ago. It keeps the time and date and I can use it as a stop watch if I wanted to. I'd rather look at my wrist than pull out my phone to check the time. But yet you see no problem spending thousands on a gun? Different strokes for different folks. I see nothing wrong with either if it’s what you are into. And a Rolex will also hold its value very well. Me personally, I kinda like a nice watch and maybe one of these days if money is not a problem, I might pick me up one. I’m gotta stay focused on getting the kids through school right now... both of them want to go into the medical field... ouch!

I would be able to see what made it worth thousands. For the life of me, I can’t see what makes a Rolex or even MontBlanc stuff worth the price. Maybe one day I’ll be able to be around more of the stuff and see. Strictly looking at pics, I can’t justify it. It’s just a name and a logo to me.

Is spending an extra 4 grand on a rifle worth closing up the group it shoots by a quarter inch? Only the fella with cash in his hand can answer that. And dang it, Kyle, there are plenty of respectable watches to be had for $150. That’s about all I’m willing to spend on them, myself, but you can do better than Fossil. They’re like the Nickelback of watches.

Why do you need a watch when you have a phone? Nobody needs either, but a watch can do more for a person than just tell time.

I have a real nice looking Tag that I wore to work for years. Only wear it to special dress up occasions now. Wore a bunch of Timex Expedition watches at $35 each, but they didn’t last long. Now I have the Luminox that I like a lot. There was a time when I made mucho money and toyed with the idea of a Rolex, but just could not make myself do it. That much for a watch just didn’t work for me.
But, I did drop serious money on a Rolex for the wife for the 50th anniversary. Like me with the Tag, she wears it for the rare special occasion. The Apple watch is her shiny new toy.
I am very glad I never bought a Rolex. I did see a great looking Tag the other day though. I probably won’t buy it. Don’t need it.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

Well, Kyle, as long as you know what the marks between the big numbers are, you’ll be alright.

Right there with you, nothing about a $5,000+ wrist watch sounds like a good idea. When I was in dental school one of my doc professors wore a gold Rolex President every day. I thought that watch was awesome and always admired it, and ever since I have been a watch guy. Once I graduated and started making some money I started buying them. It's not a habit for everyone. But, they generally go up in value so typically they are a good investment. Not many things you can buy, use for many years, and worth more than what you paid for them. Some worth a lot more....
