What's wrong with your mobile phone?

Or are you some sort of a weirdo who doesn't carry one with you?

Digital watches are for terrorists - Nick has one, it must be true.

My phone lives in my pocket, it's quicker to look at my wrist than get my phone out and unlock the screen. Also my car has no clock so with a watch there's no need to fumble about trying to get my phone out whicle driving.

+1 regarding the phone. Thankfully Mk6's come with a clock (everything else is an extra)  :smiley:

I know it's probably not what you want, but I've got one of these (http://www.breo.com/item/RoamWatchBlack_195_0_2208_1.html) and it suits me perfectly. I dislike wearing watches on a daily basis but I need one for work, so as my job includes sitting on poolside for most of the day I needed something slim to avoid tan lines and something waterproof to go in the pool. It's great to be honest. Only £10 and it's so light and compact that I hardly notice it's there.

I've got a beard but an analogue watch - does this make me only half a terrorist?  :grin:

something VERY suspect about this... slim nancy looking watch, sitting by the side of the pool sunbathing and 'avoiding tan lines' - are you some kind of girl?  :huh:

Yeah the 'avoiding tan lines' bit got my suspicion kicking in..

I'd recommend one from the Casio G shock range, really really sturdy and will fit in any where!

+1!

Alot of them are pretty full on in the aesthetics department, but there are some pretty nice subtle ones aswell! Mines awesome, solar power, radio controlled dont have to worry about setting it ever just let it sort itself out! haha
