Both me an my wife like watches. So we got quite a big collection. My view is, that it doesn't make sense to let the watches unused in the box. Therefore we got all the watches (around 100) in a big box. And family members just pick them. So we sometimes pick a watch that fits the outfit. So for example I wear the watch the BF of my daughter wore yesterday. I think its very cool to have so many watches togheter. Would you like that idea?

This sounds like a very interesting idea. It sounds like fun to just pick a watch from a box that matches your outfit. I have also collected myself a small collection of watches throughout the years, not nearly as many as you though but about ten or so. When I was younger I also liked to match one to my outfit every time. But soon, I just started keeping using the same one or two. It's like the fad has worn off. But it sounds like you're still riding the craze and loving it.

The good thing is that also the kids use them. The BF of my daughter didn't have watches. But when he saw how many he just chose one and putted it on. Now he had two or three he likes, and wear them 24h a day.

I do have a watch with recording features. It can record audio and video at crystal clear quality. I use to wear it all the time and show it off to my friends. I bought it for 250 bucks last year. It is still available in the market. It is quite an interesting one. Look here for more info

Watch - Black strapped watch
There are people who have the passion for watches and I can't really relate because I am not one. I only have 3 watches actually. Now when it comes to sharing watches, I find nothing wrong with that. My husband and my son do share watches anyway. It's my husband who always buys new one and my son enjoys wearing them one after the other.

I wear the same watch all of the time. It is waterproof and I never take it off. If I did, or do wat you do, I would forget to put one on, or forget to change it.

Hi, I usually buy watches that last longer. In the days of quartz hype, I make it a point to wear a digital watch owing to its accuracy losing or gaining only a few seconds in a month. The only drawback I see in them is its battery that needs to be replaced every year or so and the plastic material that degrades in time. Some digital watches, even if they are water resistant, usually loses that characteristics when the case is opened for battery replacement. Having experienced this drawback, I promised myself to buy just one watch, one that can last for generations without battery replacement. I would have gone for the solar or kinetic powered ones but I am still leery of anything electronics and battery powered so I opt for an automatic, self winding, stainless steel watch. The I have now is of a very robust design that, as they say, may be worn by one of my grandsons and great grandsons in the future.

I love wearing watch too but i don't have many of them. Me and my daughter share watches once in a while though we really have our own, sometimes we swap. I don't really mind lending it to her but if other people would borrow my watch i would certainly not allow them. It see watches including jewelries as personal things that only the owner or the closest family can use.

I too like to wear watches. I have a lot of collection of variety of watches with special features. I am most attracted towards the new watches that arrive in the market. I regularly check for any new watches. Time is precious and it does not come back. Therefore watches helps in using our time usefully and constructively.
