Watch Lovers!

I think I might get hooked on collecting Casio and Timex watches. I had a $20 Timex back in high school it took a licking and kept on ticking. It was a great watch for the money. Nothing like a good classic analog wristwatch. Smartwatches become obsolete in 2-5 years, but a classic mechanical analog watch is timeless and holds value. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett wear the Casio F91W; they only cost $35 CAD, but they just work, work well, and serve a purpose for them. I got a Tissot PRX watch as a service award from my company, and it's my entry into the luxury or high-end watch. Not a Rolex, but i love the watch; it's classy and beautiful. Who here collects watches, and what are your favorites?

Also, enjoy watching Canadian beauty Brit Pearce's YouTube channel; she's a watch nerd.

Is your PRX an automatic? I have one, too.

I wish. It's quartz.

More and more younger folks I see wearing watches.
I guess if everybody is holding a smart phone wearing a watch sets you apart.

I have 3-4 few hundred bucks each mechanical self winder watches.
All more than 20 years old.
I will wear one if we are out to dinner or at a live theatre performance.
IE at a spot where I dont want to fish out my phone, yet want to easily keep track of the time.
