I wore watch from when I was in elementary school (yes, multiple Swatches DON'T JUDGE ME) right up until the point where I got a cellphone (i.e. 15 years ago).
That being said, over the past couple of years I've found that I like the aesthetics of wearing a watch, but the times when I'd buy one that I'd actually want hardly ever line up with a) being someplace with quality timepieces, and b) being mentally prepared to spend a few hectabucks on a watch I'd really like.
i still wear swatches. my standard is a 1993 "mappamondo", but i also have a couple kid flik flaks. go ahead and judge me and my aesthetics all you like :)
