watches?! we don't need no stinkin' watches!

[wutangy]

hey, anyone know where i can find some good japanese style watches. ya know- the crazy, futuristic looking ones. i like the spoon watches by seiko. anyone out there who has one? are they worth it?

[Ryan]

i like spoons..but my budget is more casio heheh ive had a gshock and i have a pela film watch now...i want a Secret Agent Man watch still..however dont want to shell out the $200 for it..yet, theres alot of other companies the names of which escape me right now

i bought a spoon blow 2 a while back but for its price it was way too cheap feeling so i returned it

if you can get ahold of any japanese fashion mags like cooltrans, they usually have a ton of cool ones

[SweetArse]

I have a this cool Timex with black face and yellow ring detail, digital numbers, Indiglo, black resin band and shiny metal case from their i-control website. I get a lot of compliments on it, but the best part is, I get to tell them its a damned $35 Timex.

Any watch you wan' fi dolla Chinatown.

I thought this thread was going to be about how much you
hate watches, 'cause I don't like them. Well, pocket
watches are cool.

[Old_Skool_Yukio_Mishima]

check out http://www.ashford.com for watches.

[Ryan]

not sure about now, but last time i went which was a while ago.. Century 21 had a decent amount of spoons in stock for cheap

[jen_er_ator]

damn all y'all with your designer watches. mine cost $13.00 plus the amount to get it resized. it has an orange face and tells the time quite nicely.

maybe one day i'll be able to afford a nice watch. with diamonds. maybe one day...

I follow you all the way, i got a timex, thay rock. Cheap as hell too, goes along with my good-will theory, that's how i always have more money thatn other guys, cuz i buy my shit cheap.

PS: punk and ska comps are dirt cheap, buy them in bulk.

[invictus]

Last time my friend Christine was in NYC she got me this supercheap Hello Kitty watch from a street vendor for $3. It's one of the best watches I've ever owned.

When I was in Jr. High, my dad went on lots more business trips to Europe than he does now. For a few years in a row he would get me a new Swatch watch every time he went to Switzerland (which was a couple times a year). I had the most kickass Swatch covered forearm EVER!

My favorite were the totally cheezy 80's Pop Swatches.

I don't like those bubble looking watches, or the ones that are supposed to look all punk rock on a leather band or something. It's all about colored plastic or silver metal.

[paean]

i can't wear watches in the summer...

it's tooooo friggin hot.

but the rest of the year i sport an all-silver esq watch
or
my navy blue (old skool) shark watch (dude!)

[kamenriderv3]

Yeah the Timex watches have gotten better. Sporty and useful. I used to like Casio watches but now I'm all for the Timex.

[empanadamn]

supposedly they're in style again in japan and in europe.

when i was little i wanted the watch w/ the calculator on it, or the one w/ the little thing that transformed into a robot and stuff. i shot a booger outta my nose on a friend of mine (who owned on once) when i sneezed. it was awwesome!

peace.

I have a chrome watch with a red digital number display. It was from a European premiere of the movie "Pi". It even has the pi symbol on it. I had a Buzz Lightyear watch too. It had a button that made noise and had a laser light. I miss that watch.

[RazeOner]

Watches make my wrist look madd skinny (which it is) so I don't wear one. I've seen some Spoons that look keul though.

I was impressed after seeing those dark i-control commercials. Then I went to their website and learned that Tim Burton directed the ads! Their cool meter went up a few notches. I commend their marketing department. I'm really into Indiglo and the i-control gimmicks. This is the first watch I've worn regularly since 7th grade.

My dad just came back from Taiwan and got me a new Swatch. It's a very flat watch. And kind of bright. Almost flourescently bright. I like it.

[falcor]

for xmas a few years ago my dad bought me a tag heuer. i had no idea how expensive those things are. if i did i woulda smacked him. i wear it lots though. i also have a huge, green ppg watch that has a digi-cartoon and talks. and a blue one with bubbles on the front. it flips open and is digital. and i have a rugtats one with tommy squirting a milk bottle.

why does knowing the time always make you feel better somehow?

i constantly look at the time on my wrist, cel, car, comp scren..
i guess cuz even tho u cant control time, knowing what is gives you a better perspective on when you want to do things and how much time you have to do it..it doesnt organize you but kinda acts like a catalyst?

[paean]

it gives us a sense of control over our own lives/destinies and existence.

[falcor]

i wish i could buck it. cause time puts too many constraints on things. the day is never ever long enough.

[Ryan]

how does that saying go? something like
I'll sleep when I'm dead?

i love that

THAT'S A BON JOVI SONG! HAW HAW HAW!!

[see_jen_run]

I got a Baby-G, but I ordered it off the internet because I couldn't find a retailer anywhere near me. When it got here it was this ugly pee yellow/green color. I do like the watches though. I just made a big mistake by ordering it over the internet. It's called "Witchy" It tells your fortune and has all these little animals dancing around on the display. Too bad it's still in a box in my closet...mom wouldn't let me return it. damn.

Anyone wanna buy it?? lol What I meant is that its a very nice, soft yellowish-green color. yeah, nevermind.

they do have some cool stuff - but i'll warn you that its mostly girly stuff. i love it, but i took my bf there and he was bored shitless and wouldn't let me shop. but if you're in the area its definitely worth a look. they're the only store in the area that carries my favorite brand, super lovers/lovers house.

[Ryan]

so they sell alot of japanese (stuff)? know any other similar places that are more (masculine) minded

[neku74]

yeah, sorry i didn't mean to be so confusing. they do sell a lot of japanese stuff. but i forgot its mostly for girls. there were quite a few watches tho, and they're pretty unisex looking so you might find something. most of the other stuff was real cutesy and all (hello kitty and friends). there are always stores in chinatown and k-town selling japanese goods, but they're not funky enough. lemme ask around and i'll get back to you, k?

okay, so i stopped by air market on my way downtown yesterday, and they only had 2 watches which were pretty generic. if you are ever in the lower east side, check out ALIFE at 178 orchard street (off of east houston) - the outside of the store says amelia something, and it says ladies garments. disregard this and just walk inside. they have a few cool watches from seiko (funky japanese style) and the store itself is pretty cool but limited selection.

it's just too technologically advanced for me to read...i've been squinting at that shit for the past 5 minutes and still haven't figured it out....now i know how my mom feels...hahahaha. poor mom.

[falcor]

that looks like a james bond watch.

q! activate the stealth missile!
activating remote mines now!

KABOOM!

does it say 3:14 and 9 seconds? what? what are all the buttons for? can you use it as a phone? a camera? it said final fantasy watch. i thought it was gonna be all cool and colorful with the characters running up and down the band and shit. damn.

[Ryan]

sorry falcor just another $200 way of telling time =)

i currently switched over to the super thin crowd for now

hee hee hee I just got a swatch skin last week! My dad got one for me while he was in Taiwan. I like.

No pics, but...
I have a few watches:
Alba Spoon (original style)
Alba Volcano
Alba Spoon (long face that kinda looks like the head of the alien from, errr, "Alien")
Alba Spoon Blow
Citizen Independent Dot Matrix
2 G Shocks
Citizen Glass D Oxy
Alba AKA (black with a red display-friends call it my Darth Vader watch)
Nike Frozen Ambient (Nike are CRAP-the battery keeps dying and my wife's broke after 5 months!!)
Mao Tse-tung (bought in Hong Kong-he waves!!)
I'm a bit of a collector. I found a few cheap places in Tokyo to buy watches. and if you live in Japan, check Daiei-they get old styles and sell them CHEAP (about 50%-75% off!!!).

[blink]

i recently got a new Casio G-shock, was told it was a limited edition and worth a bit. it's got reggae colours on the screen and the bandstrap. best of all, when you hit the lights, you've get what else but an image of the sweet leaf on the backscreen. haha stoner watch for a stoner.

anyone seen the Seiko Final Fantasy watch? here's a pic.


http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1627877417

how much is it anyway and is it metal or just plastic?

[mpyre]

I gots the Seiko Secret Agent Watch from an Urban Outfitter in May of 99...

'been loving it ever since. Of course it set me back $239, but I still get comments about it every time I go out.

I first saw it in a DKNY catalog in 97-98 and I knew I had to have one.

My only complaint is that entering messages like e-mails and phone numbers take too long. I wish I could change the messages that scroll every ten minutes.

Other than that, I love the little ticker. I've brushed it against everything in town and it still looks good.

I'm not into the second version which is a bit too rounded.

Oh--I wish the band WASN'T made of black rubber.

In 2000, I met a guy (looked like a model) who had the Secret Agent Watch. He said every time a hot girl asked him for the time, he would click the message display button to display the message:
"Time for you and I to get together" or something like that. Not lying--he showed me.

eww i hate the spoon , i love baby-G.......anyway why dont you buy a new collection of DIESEL watches, they are so coolll

[kid_robotron]

I always forget to wear my watch and end up using my mobile phone to tell the time.....

If I forget my phone I'm doomed.

Spoon sucks ass, so cheaply made, I had mine for a month, and its falling apart. My gf got it for me at the store next to A-life, forgot the name, ddc lab???

Anyways here's my replacement

http://www.fossil.com/LandingPages/starck.asp?

I got the green screen with grey band.

Only gripe, the band is rubber and it has to be cut to fit your wrist

great watch though

[Ryan]

those watches look pretty cool..but in my personal experience..fossil is worse than spoons in term of build quality

patek phillipe is fukin overpriced....like over 10k+ for a wind up watch with a leather strap..

I try other watches, but keep coming back to Casios. Everything else breaks too easily. And like shoes, I refuse to spend more than $35-40. Anything more is wasted money for the item's intended function.

I have a R2D2 watch. It´s metal (don´t know what metal), It´s cool and it cost 4 bucks in local toystore (it was in discount..)
It actually looks like R2D2 and when you press the middle "leg" it opens up and reveals digital-screen. I love it.

way cooler (and more expensive...but that's the price you pay i guess to try to be cool.)

wow jen i never knew you got this one..nice

anyway what about them nixon watches? any one have any experience with them?

im also thinking about the casio digital camera watch thingy..any place i can get those under 100?

[Old_Skool_Yukio_Mishima]

I love old wind up watches with simple designs and that led me to buy the Movado Kingmatic. You wind it only once and the spring winds itself as you move from there after.

i forgot about this watch...i had to return it because the thing was as big as my kneecap!! so i'm just sticking with my roxy watch. i'm too poor to own 2 watches anyway.

[kamenriderv3]

that watch has the correct date and day of the week for tomorrow

[snoopy lover]

i love collecting watches. my favorite is a casio pela watch i got in the philippines for 30 bucks. it has a screen saver with little animals on it! if you want one of those bright plascticy talking watches that speaks in different languages, your best bet is to get a friend from japan to send you one. ive only seen english speaking ones in black over here.

i am not reading all the posts in this thread. too fucking long. instead, i'll post my two cents worth:

fuck watches. haven't worn one for 5 years. don't carry a pager or a cell phone. who needs to be bound by time? not i...

now, what the hell is this thread about?

I love how booter loves to give a big FU to everything we love(watches, grooming, cell phones,quality of life, real sushi, fisting,etc)

ohhh! don't say THAT! i've never given a FU to fising. or real sushi, for that matter. what do you mean by "real sushi" anyway? i like my sushi erasers, but i also like real sushi too.


p.s. here's a FU to something many of you probably enjoy: COFFEE. heh heh.

I've heard if you get another watch for the right and put your wrists together and then make a circle with your arms it looks like you are dancing or churning butter.

someone help me find it somehow...i think one can only find it in japan :\

[slackerbot]

i'm pretty happy with my Timex Ironman. i've had it for 3 years and it still rocks!

[Jack]

The battery in my watch is going, it can't power the backlight anymore. It'll probably go to shit when I'm in Malaysia.

I like shopping for watches, but I have really trouble with "regular" watches, so I always go for digital.

I probably won't toss my current watch when it runs out, I'll just get a new one and maybe put a new battery in the current one.

I really like watches.

Worst watch I ever had was an Action Man watch, that played a siren when you pushed a button, and it had an emergency light too. That, or the talking watch that would get me into trouble at school because people would lean over and push the button, and I'd get shit for it.

[djbadmonkey]

i am addicted to watches.

[Empty Screams]

i think i'm going to buy like 4 swatches. i'm in a spendin mood!

I want a Tag Heuer Kirium Auto Chronograph with a blue dial. But, damn, I ain't got no 2Gs for a watch right now.

speaking of watches, does anyone know where i can buy a discontinued fossil watch that was released 2 years ago? i lost the one my brother gave me and i need to replace it! eep!

I have a couple of these spoon watches...one like this, and the other is silver. Pretty cool, but I forgot how to set it, and it's stuck on Texas time. :(

that's kinda tough. if the watch was maybe one year or less, you might have been able to find one at a Fossil outlet store or something.

hot dang. i have no idea what the model is. the older one, i guess. the very first model. it eats up batteries like a mug, tho. that's my only problem with it.

i wouldn't know where to buy it online... i bought it at costco, you might wanna try www.costco.com?

i like fossil watches.. i got my big tic blue fossile watched here for about 75 USD

imho they have really nice watches.. check out http://www.fossil.com

[YelloKitty]

i saw the starck fossil watches at the fossil outlet store going for 50 bux. i shoulda gotten one.

[xcoldricex]

[Lain]

I own several watches, but I never wear them. I found that not knowing the time keeps me from panicing that I'm going to be later. The guys around me in classes will give me the time if I ask.

[Ryan]

a family member recently got one a rolex datejust. thing is pretty friggin nice. someone else got a platinum one, thing was like 16k or something. thats insane. thats like.. a corolla.

anyway i want a new watch soon, im thinking maybe another nixon.

im also considering looking into vintage watches. something like an omega from the late 70s early 80s. is that even considered vintage. whatever. i want one.

I'm looking "vintage" too. Found this one on ebay, pretty much the exact style I'm looking for. It's in Thailand though. The guy has a lot of positive feedback.

[angoraphobia]

i used to love playing boggle.....

i understand your quandry for i too had a similar problem when i first got my watch with the date on it.....what i did was set it to the date i thought it was and the next day, if i saw that it hadnt changed i just slowly clicked the date forward one.....OR you could (the next day if the date hasnt changed) move the big hand on your watch from 4 am to 4 pm and your date will automatically change!

[wnoodle]

The watch counts time on a 24 hour scale. Thus move the hands until you see the date change (usually somewhere between 11pm and 1am), this indicates that you have reached midnight. The watch also knows it's midnight due to internal mechanics... Just as it ticks away the seconds, it has a much slower (unseen) ticker ticking away hours.

So, if the date changes at midnight, it is only reasonable to deduce that it will not change at noon, ergo, no date change at 12pm. Now you can set your watch accordingly.

[wnoodle]

Addendum (sp?): Be sure to move the hands FORWARD for the date to change. Rolling the backwards will not help.

i rock this one when i wear suits :

droools...

[Ryan]

does she like leather bands? metal? simple / chrono..digital etc.. whats your budget like?

[Jack]

Just buy her a bunch of cheap watches, all shapes and sizes. Maybe she'll think it's cute.

[joetron2030]

Heh! Yeah, buy her a decent watch storage/display case and a bunch of inexpensive yet cool watches (novelty watches, etc.).

I bet it would make a great gift.

For the record, I bought my wife a Powerpuff Girls watch at one of those shopping mall watch kiosks as a present shortly after the birth of our daughter.

[Ryan]

i still got mad love for Nixon watches

[Vinz]

I bought a Casio calculator watch a few months back. I recently bought a couple watches from ebay.

[Vinz]

I can't seem to remember the name of this watch, or find a pic of it online. It's a really chunky watch, they sold it mainly in Asian and in some stores in North America. It's really chunky, digital, plastic came in bright colors and had a carbon fibre version. It has a button and a pump on it so that you can pump air to make it fit more snug on your wrist.

I think they were pretty popular in the late 90's early 2000.

Can you guys and gals give me a hand in finding an image or the name of this watch.


Thanks

Vinz

[t3h1337p3nguin]

I've worn a watch for the majority of my life. I've had a total of three in that time. Yeah, I'm attached to my watch.

Digital, black, not-classy, good-workin'.

[key_loser]

Okay, I had this awesome watch when I was a kid.


It was black.

It had a squarish face.

Maybe three or four buttons on the edges/corners.

Digital readout.

And what I was convinced was a diamond right underneath the readout.

Any chance anybody can point me in the right direction?

[Vinz]

if anybody is interested I found out what the watch I was looking for was called, It's a Seiko Air Pro.

I just got the 2005 Watch Annual woo hoo!

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/clocks-watches/watch/watches/jaeger-lecoultre/reverso/reverso.jpg

[Vinz]

I think in the last month I've become obsessed with watches. I want to get a Seiko Orange monster (another big watch) and the Tissot PRS 516.

I've learned to appreciate Rolex & I really like classic looking brands like Chronoswiss, Patek and A Lange & Sohn.

Because I'm poor I think I will only get one nice watch in my lifetime.

[Aaron]

I want a Franck Muller next. I think it'll be a while before I can afford one though.

[slackerbot]

my next "nice" watch will be a Tag Heuer. in the mean time, my Timex Ironman kicks ass. :cool:

[joetron2030]

I just bought a new "nice" watch a few days after Xmas (based on my current level of personal income).

It's nothing fancy or expensive because I don't have that kind of money. But, I did want something nicer that the two leather-banded, $60 watches I'd been wearing for over 10 years.

So, I bought a pretty nice looking (and fairly function) Citizen Eco-Drive chronograph watch. Got it on sale at Macy's when they essentially had a 25% off sale on their Japanese watches (Seiko, Citizen, and their lesser sub-brands).

The watch I really wanted was a 2000 Tag Heuer Kirium Chronograph Automatic. But, I don't know where I'd find one new and I don't have $2000 to drop on a watch.

Hell, I don't have $2000!

[Vinz]

Hey jskang did you get the 8700? I like the one with the leather band and the deployment clasp.

[joetron2030]

No. I ended up getting the BL5180-57L (http://www.citizenwatch.com/collections/watch.asp?modelnumber=BL5180-57L).

I like it a lot.

[Vinz]

yesterday I walked by this small watch shop owned by a modest Chinese man. He was playing the Chinese news in the background. I think he might have had 50 watches that he was selling I think most of them are not that great. He makes most of his money fixing watches. I brought a couple of my dad's watches to get fixed during my lunch. I went to my parents place for dinner and gave my dad's watches back to him. They were old watches that he got as a gifts from a long time ago. They had broken bands and he never got around to get them fixed. This is my simple watch story for today.

I was typing fast

[newaza]

watches have nads?

[Phyrephox]

I saw a link online once for a digital watch whose LED was on the thin inside. In other words, if you looked at the watch's face (like you normally would) all you would see would be a blank brushed metal face. However, if you turned your arm at a 90 degree angle (thumb facing your face) you'd see the LED. Make sense? Anyone know wtf I'm talking about? Instead of the dial or read out being in the center of this square:

---
|x|
---

It would be on the inside:

one of my favorite watches

I won this watch at a auction page for about $30-35.
http://www.designwatchstore.de/images/product_images/info_images/A1116-Einzeln.jpg

I am however worried that it is too large at 40mm wide, and 14mm thick.

Have anyone tried one of these things?

More like, "Beam me up, Scotty," or, "KIT, get me outta here"

Hey, so my co-worker just bought a Vestal watch, thing is, he was given the incorrect instructions. How the hell do you set the time on this thing?

I am however worried that it is too large at 40mm wide, and 14mm thick.

Have anyone tried one of these things?

I`m curious about it.

Hey Lars I was looking at those Aeromatic watches on ebay a few months ago, let me know how you like it when it arrives.

I like it. Of course I can`t tell the quality of the watch... but it comes with a 2 year warranty, so I guess it should be pretty decent. The leather band feels nice. Good watch.

hah, that is pretty cool. I wonder what other game they're going to do.

The other day, I saw a watch at fossil that was either had murakami's smiling flower graphics or were ... heavily inspired by them.
I never buy watches, but I go in and look at them all of the time. How's the quality on fossil watches, do they scratch / break / whatever easily?

[ocd]

As far as non-formal watches, I'm fine with Fossil, or at least their more simple, classic looking watches (Some of their shit's straight up ugly). I had one for a few years till I broke its watchband in a rather serious skateboarding collision. Any watchband would have broken. The best part about Fossil is the no-questions-asked 11 year warranty. I got a new watch for free, and since they no longer carried that style I got to get a more up-to date one. So I got two watches for about $50, $60.

[Ryan]

i dont like em for the most part but fossils will last forever

[BAOH]

you guys are lucky i broke my digicam......i have thee best "jesus and guadalupe" watch....evar.

don't hate.

[joetron2030]

I recenlty bought a Citizen Eco-Drive chronograph watch with perpetual calendar. I love it. Except for one minor fact. I think the case is stainless steel and it scratches waaaay too easily. Argh!

For future reference, anyone one have suggestions for case material that's more resistant to scratching?

Also, that Asteroids watch looks sweet!

I just bought an aeromatic off ebay. I wasn't even thinking about getting one again until I saw your post. I paid more, $60.

I can't wait to get it.

i just ran over to the nearest Swatch store and spent a while checking out the selection. I'm really into kinetic watches but the ones they had were pretty bulky and honestly... I don't spend that much time staring at the face of a watch to enjoy all the little springs and cogs at work.
So I went with a skin watch instead - one of the digital ones. It's kinda weird getting a digital swatch but it's definitely got style. Is there any use for their .beat internet time? That seems like some odd novelty factor that no one cares about.
Oh and I checked out the paparazzi watches... also really big and bulky but if you don't mind a large chunk of rubber on your arm then it's pretty cool that you can instantly get weather reports from your wrist.

Oh I also visited the Fossil site - check out the Frank Gehry watch. It's digital but instead of showing the time directly, like 11:50 instead it will say 10 til 12. It would take some getting used to but the idea is great.

[Aser]

i can't get w/ any of those japanese joints that takes 10 mins to figure out the time. I need a design icon that'll last me a lifetime.

I'm down to one watch now, a seiko titanium automatic , which is super reliable. The other two are dead, movado (battery) & nautica (battery + chronograph both dead).

By the way, I love that watch blog site. It's crack, baby!

Automatics are nice. The watch (http://www.citizenwatch.com/collections/closer.asp?modelnumber=BL5180-57L) (link goes to large image) I'm currently wearing is an Eco Drive watch (basically an automatic) plus it's got a perpetual calendar. I think that that's got to be one of my must haves for any watches I buy going forward.
