Hey whoa!
What does the Moderator say about wrist nudity in this forum? Contributors, please keep this family friendly, I implore you. Parents, shield your childrens' innocent minds. Oh and if you're at the office, I hope you had the Excel spreadsheet handy in case the boss looked over your shoulder! Ha ha!
That's why I keep telling my wife I need to buy another watch.
Forgot to put a watch on today in a rush to get the toddler to childcare. Hate it when this happens. I should get an "emergency car watch" stored in the glovebox. Have a good week ppl!...
Suggestion
Throw a smart watch in your glovebox. This will firstly make you never forget a real watch anymore and secondly make you happy if someone broke into your car. Win win situation if you\'d ask me ;-)
Don't have a wife, much less a toddler . . .
. . . and definitely don't need to buy another watch, but somehow, they keep coming, like . . . . . . tribbles.

LOL !!
I snorted coffee out do my nose when I read this. So now I have no watch and coffee stain on my shirtfront. What a day :-(
A crime. A shame. A horological disaster/emergency. To be caught without a watch. Turn around and immediately go home or to the nearest AD and correct the horological faux pas.
There can be no blame ascribed but there must be correction immediately. I do agree that it is not wise to keep a watch in the car. When the sun is out the interior temperature could escalate and could cook the watch esp the oil in it. Not to mention the ...
I think the rest of us have our priorities in place.
Put the watch on, then the pants (skirts or dresses for ladies) when getting dressed. Not sure how the order was muddled up here.
For me at present it's more like:
- 1) Nappy needs changing (not on myself, mind you). Decision - watch on or off? (Decided "off" re potential contamination 2) give child breakfast. Decision - watch on or off? (Decided "off" re potential contamination with porridge. 3) Rush out the door. ...
It has to be improvised
1. Watch on wrist 2. Bubble wrap watch on wrist 3. Deal with the kid stuff
Oh no. As long as you can leave it is only masochism.
Don\'t think that the Geneva convention is dealing with this.
Haha. A "no watch" contest is a great idea.
It would actually be REALLY interesting how long a purist can last without a watch. 1 day was BAD - I can tell you
But then with a skeleton dial please.
I am always out of my mind. It is only the degree that varies over time ;-) No watch is only the logical next level. And the advantage would be that such a contest would last one week max
Just. Hypothetical question.
Is it still called a wrist watch if you "strap it on" elsewhere on the body in a nudist camp. I am asking for a friend ;-) Obviously, Feel free to make further jokes on the "strap it on" line
I hang my head in shame while skulking away!
Definitely not keeping a mechanical watch in the car in Aussie heat! Maybe a quartz beater ?
A Sistem51 roll call might be quite revealing.
I wouldn\'t be surprised to see that every second Purist has one in the box.
I have to admit....
I have done this too.....and I have no wife or toddlers so they can't be to blame..!! Friends at work do comment that how can I forget to put on a watch when I have so many..!! Ha ha Andy
As a matter of fact, I DO have a mechanical emergency watch in the car ...
... but not in the daily driver's glove box. A hand-winding Glycine Incursore is stored in my offroad camper. So in case I damage, or - worse even - loose my "real timepiece", I have at least a solid and well legible watch as a backup: Marcus ...
When I was young and not wise about the horological marvels about me I would see going watchless as a true sign of escaping and relaxing from the time pressures of the week. Now no longer. Rather the weekend is defined by wearing watches that
I don\'t wear during the week either because they are too sporty or too special and dear to chance them at work. Every watch does have its place and its role so that the weekend watches do signify escape and separation from work.
No watch seems to be....
as good as wearing one, especially if your safety deposit box is topped with luxury/collector pieces Cheers Edward
