I'll go 1st.
My watch (divergraph) is a crucial tool in my day. As a graduate student I do research and experiments all day. My experiments range from minutes to hours. That's why I love divers chronographs. The bezel is a perfect quick to set timer and the chronograph lets me time a 2nd experiment or longer ones. I look at my watch constantly through out the day and having my timer attached to my wrist has saved me numerous times, just by looking at it, I'm reminded about what I'm doing.

if not for my watch I would be carrying around a bulky digital timer with me all over the building. I cant imagine a day without it.

I wear a watch 24 hours a day even to bed and if I wake up I look at the time, since I am so blind I cannot even read the atomic alarm clock Pax gave me for my birthday .... I need to waer comfortable watches to do that and I know I am a "geek" for doing that .... :shock:  For other

1) work (timing jobs or driving time to destination)
2) scuba diving
3) just to look good for whatever activity

Use my chrono for timing soccer games. The only ball sport with running time.

I use my watch to make me feel good and happy all day. Looking at my watch and wiping off some smudges on your dial is like rubbing the lamp and the genie of happiness comes out. Many of us have so many kinds, shapes and makes of watches and we use them for all sorts of objectives but in the beginning ---- and in the end, we use our watches to feel really good. hahaha. Am I cuckoo?Bouncy.gif

I match my watches and my fountain pens!  Since I teach high school seniors, I show them that to be a man of style you must have a fountain pen and a remarkable watch (non-digital please)

   I try to show them a different one each day.  At present I have about half a month's worth.

Best show and tell:  shine my Fenix 220 lume on the Ocean 7 LM-7 before they come into class and then flip the lights out for a moment.

Ohhhhhh!  Aaaaaaahhhh!    Life's little pleasures!
