   I have the same old Seiko I bought back in 1992. I always wear it. I’d be lost without a wristwatch!

   OMG I loved my swatch watches and my swatch phone. Life was so much simpler back then LOL

   I love my Moto 360 smart watch but I still wear non-tech watches depending on where I’m going.

    I was never cool enough to own a swatch growing up or maybe it was because we were poor and I couldn’t afford one. I think it was the latter. 😉

    I was never into Swatch watches, as I was a Fossil watch man. Started buying them when the company opened their doors in the mid 1980’s and now own over 200 of them. My favorite are still the holographic train watch and the Lord of the Rings one.

    I’m still a fan of the fitness watch I got earlier this year. Like any watch I have owned it is full of nicks and paint spatter, but it charges in less than an hour and has survived every environment I’ve put it through (basically sitting at a desk and standing behind a camera). Best upgrade from all the sports watches I’ve owned: email notifs with text of the message.
