Re: What is your wristwatch?
Wow, nice watch!
I gave up trying to wear wristwatches years ago because I worked as a truck driver at the time and I couldn't go for more than a week or so without breaking the watch crystal. This was in the pre-digital age of mechanical timepieces only, and I simply learned to estimate the time based on the sun, the season, and my last time reading. Automobile clocks were notoriously undependable, but public clocks were everywhere on banks, other businesses, and street corners, and radios announced time on the half-hour. I was never late. 
Now I just can't stand the feel of something on my wrist, but I wish sometimes that I could wear one. Like Platypus says, a good mechanical watch is a nice accessory for dress occassions.

Re: What is your wristwatch?
I gave up wearing a wrist watch. The ones I would like to waer are far bejond my budget.
I did wear the first radio synchronised wrist watch from Junkers, but I let it off 4 years ago.
If I need to know how late it is and I am not at a typical invironment like my home, my car or my office, iI just look at my Motorola mobile phone and read the time.
Kind regards,

Im retired I don't have to wear a watch anymore, but when I was working I used an lcd timex cause it had military time was reliable, and I would lose about 1-2 a year on average from altercations I was in at work. Black of course with a velcro wrist band for comfort.

I have a cheap Pulsar I picked up about four years ago. When I was visiting a friend, I synchronized it with his atomic clock. A year later, it was only eight seconds off. $50 well spent I guess.
However, when I open up Photoshop to work on a skin, my watch starts looking very similar to Raven's.
