I don't wear a watch.
There has never been a so over rated piece of jewelry on planet earth.
I had a very very wealthy man ask me what time is was when I was pitching him as a client, and told him I didn't know, and he said, "i know".. and pulled out a big watch to impress me.. and I said "if you knew, why did you ask me, (and his buddies laughed), and he said do you know how much this costs" and I said.. what good is it, if you can't read it"?
Read your own time and don't waste mine.
He was put off for a moment and then later spent big bucks with me.
He knew that I knew that he knew that it was a test.
I was pocket change to him,and he knew it, but I've known him for many many years, and I still don't wear a watch and it does not come up for discussion.
But we meet one on one now.

I wish you followed your own statement... "Read your own time and don't waste mine." The comments on Luxist seem to be rife with people stating "This is a waste" and so on. If you have a useful comment to discuss the blog entry, then post it. If not, don't waste our time. If you don't like watches, don't bother reading that entry, because it's wasting your own time.

Maybe you should read and comment at Engadget or Fanhouse, those blogs are more suited for your type of contribution.
