Just for interest most watches are waterproof to well below their rated limits, just if you press any of the buttons they flood...

There was a guy on a forum building a pressure pot to test watches down to 1000m or something, just for bragging rights...

I do really like watches, but I don't bother wearing one.

My ex wife bought me a very nice Christian Barnard solid silver Swiss watch and I also have two very nice and quite pricey diving watches even though I don't dive and have rather small wrists. I just like owning nice watches.

My day to day watch is an HTC Desire... I can't abide having anything hanging off my wrists and never could, but I like owning watches.

No. I own one watch, a gold Omega. I hate the bloody thing.

I love watches, if i had more money id have a great collection.

My current best one is a £200 emporio armani, but in my defence i bought it for its looks rather than brand, probably a tag next next cos they suit my thick wrists.

I like Breitlings, they are my favourite, ill have one some day, ive got a copy and it looks good but performs crap.

Can't wear watches. I kill them.
Some people say it.s too much electricity in your body. ???
Cheap watches die in a few hours.

I put a little stick on clock on the bike.
I try not too touch it.

Was hilarious watching the Teachers trying to suss it out, until of course they did, at which point I had my watch confiscated.

Mate of mine at school did that too. He also managed to get it to unlock his mum's BMW!

That's what they used for remote central locking systems back in the 80s

I remember my parents had an old Honda Accord wayyyy back. That had infra red locking. Seem to remember it being unreliable at best.

I think it's a wind-up.
