I've gotten too used to my diver's watch which I stubborn wore during the length of time that wristwatches were considered unstylish.
Awwwwww yeah diving watches. I've got a Seiko automatic here that's waterproof to 200m (lol, going to 200m with exposed wrists). I think the farthest I've been down with it is 120ft at Molokini Crater. Regardless, its one of my most prized possessions, though the chain needs repair. The lock clasp that closes over the chain closure has bent and pops open with the slightest movement.

If you've ever even gotten your diver's watch wet it's seen more diving than 98% of all diver's watches that people buy and wear.

Sad but true. I really like Oris watches, but the titanium bodies make the prohibitively expensive. I'm also a big fan of the Suunto Mosquito and their D series, mainly because they have integrated dive computers.

I remember when cell phones only made phone calls. Those were dark times.
Even some of the earliest cellphones had clocks in them, but they were not pocket sized. Even when phones began to be pocket-sized and included clocks, they often had their screens turned off or you had to flip them open to see the time. At one time it was an advanced feature to have a phone that had an extra external screen with the time on it. Once that happened, watches were dead.
I think many watches are cool, such as the Tokyo Flash watches, http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/1/, but I think actually wearing a watch these days is stupid. If you are a person who needs to know the time, you probably have a phone. Even people in the most remote places on earth have phones now with SMS. If you have a phone, a watch is redundant.
I'm waiting for a day when you don't need a phone anymore, and the watch is the phone. Instead of a smartphone in my pocket, I want a smartphone on my wrist that is slightly smaller than the current iPod nano.

No, no,no! It has to be Jeeves! Go back and watch Wooster and Jeeves, that is some classic shit right there.
But it hasn't worked in years.
So here is what used to look like.

Just how many watchmakers are so confident in their product that they put both 100 and 1000 Year indicators on their watches?
