One of my digital watches is a Armitron.

I like the Casio digital watches.

I was in a K-Mart many years ago - 1980's, when they announced a "Blue Light Special" on Men's Disposable watches. I was curious - just what is a "disposable watch?" I ended up buying one for $2.00 or $5.00, or something. The watch is so cheap that when the battery dies you just throw the whole thing away. The concept struck me at the time as being funny enough to be interesting.

A couple weeks later while I was talking with a brother from a particularly "notorious" (then) UPC church in Kansas, he spotted my disposable watch and went off on this tangent about how "the preachers in Kansas" preach against "gold watches!"

I can see how an environmentalist might have been offended by my disposable watch - but it also caused an "ultra-con" to go through the roof because, I guess, the digital display and all seemed too fancy for holiness people. That reaction was even stranger than the concept of a disposable watch, for me at the time.

I think there is an instruction manual on how to push the buttons on the side...

I haven't worn a watch in years.
The cell phone took their place.
I'm waiting for a preacher to start preaching against "fancy" phones.

I have several and I don't wear them either. Also have some nice rings just not interested I guess. Your right I'm surprised someone on here hasn't made some comment on watches especially those three thousand dollars ones. Well maybe this will food for thought.

I always thought that I was somehow "psychic" or alien because I could taste when I had a ring on. Other metal objects like bracelets and most watches had the same effect. I only wore a watch when I had to for a job or other assignment. I stopped wearing watches even before cell phones became de rigueur.

Recently, I read how that the acids in the human skin react with metals. This reaction is transmitted as a taste or smell. Everyone apparently experiences this, but only a few are sensitive enough to really be consciously aware of it.

Sharks, blood hounds and other animals are especially keen in sensing this chemical reaction. And, blood with its iron content, is also a source of the same chemical reaction. Thus, the taste in my mouth after handling a steel bar while weight lifting is much the same taste as a shark senses when it is following a blood trail in the water; or so they say.

In any event, I just don't like to be in direct contact with metal. I've taped over the handles on all of my free weights. I've never worn a ring for more than a day and I've only worn watches sparingly when I really had to keep track of the time. No "standards" issues for me. It's just a preference and a comfort thing.

I have known people like that which had the same problems. I think also it is the level of certain elements in the chemistry of the body maybe even at different times that absorbs the chemical changes through the skin and blood stream.

I got my Casio G-Shock watch set,and I wore it to church.I don't have any Rolexs,just Casios,Timexs,Armitrons ,Advance brands like that.

My favorite dress watch is a 12 dollar advance brand watch,that my wife gave me.
My wife loves The Fossil watches.

I have a small watch collection,due to the fact that I get them for birthday and Christmas presents and such like that.Alot of the ones I have need new batteries.
Of course I give some away too.

I gave a Citizen watch away to a brother sunday,cause it wasn't being used.

Just a hint since I have a large watch collection---pull the stem out when the watch is "resting". My husband purchased a watch case for me for Christmas a few years ago.
It has drawers and a glass lid . If I didn't pull out the stem-- batteries would be a weekly purchase.
Even though they are quartz watches only one of the 22 is digital.


Obviously I like watches....many colors__ to match what I'm wearing.
