Do watches still serve a purpose?

ill said:
it was my first one, I thought I got it for like $100 on Amazon or something.

now it's discontinued and sells for $800 or something.

my uncle has Omegas and I keep telling him to leave him one in his will.

I have a feeling he is going to get buried with one of his too.

and since his kids already have nice Omegas that he bought them, I should inherit one or two.
 
If you’re going to wear a watch, you might as well put a bone through your nose and a disc in your lip.

I’ve always worn a watch and feel weird not having one. I switched to an Apple Watch a few years ago and love it. It tracks my fitness stuff but also I get alerts when I get emails that I can subtly check when I’m in a meeting and can’t pull out my phone.

So... It’s a boomer thing?
 
FWIW, I don’t think I’d be allowed to wear a watch at work if I wanted to. Some tard probably got a watch stuck in a roller and lost an arm a long time ago. Anytime someone gets hurt a new rule is made. After 27 years of wearing slip on boots, I had to switch to lace ups because some tard rolled his ankle.

Ever seen a de-gloved finger? Some rules have good reasoning behind them. *shudder*

I’ve seen one. Wasn’t pretty. Saw a picture of a guy that accidentally impacted a nut on his finger trying to get it out of the socket, that looked worse

So this guy had balls of steel? Or big brass ones?

But serious, he did what?

A nut, you know the things that go on bolts? He had one stick in the socket of his impact gun, tried to dig it out with his finger instead of just banging it on something, accidentally hit the trigger of the impact gun and drove the nut on his finger
 
I have always worn a watch dating back to when I was 13 when I got one for my birthday. I don't feel complete unless I am wearing one. I finally broke down and got an Apple Watch last month. It feels like an acquired taste

I'm not ready to go to a smart watch. It feels like being too connected.

Also, I think the android watches kind of suck

OK! Now I get it. Good grief. Did that break and dislocate it?
*so this wasn't a nut and bolt situation with a lady?

Pretty sure he lost the finger. The threads fucked shit up, you could see a lot of bone. I’m sure it broke it, but it fucked up some nerves and ligaments too
