Comments on: Cool watches – If you still wear one http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/07/14/cool-watches-if-you-still-wear-one/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:23:57 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: TimexLover http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/07/14/cool-watches-if-you-still-wear-one/comment-page-1/#comment-44442 TimexLover Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:26:57 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=17774#comment-44442 I've owned a Timex Datalink ever since they came out so many (15?) years ago. It is simply the most practical, functional watch I've ever owned as well as one of the geekiest items. Carrying contacts, appointments, count-down timers, games, multiple alarms and other user apps on your wrist is great. The USB connection is dated and it's not as cool as the original synching with the monitor but it is still great! I wish they would update it.

They are a brand which have innovative design ideas. I have had several of them with dual Analogue and Digital Display. I used to work in a bar and everyone commented on the uniqueness of these watches! They are reasonably priced and come in all shapes and sizes! Dan Hey Julie,

Justin is right, the watch is an accessory. If you think about it, men generally don't wear a lot of jewelry and the watch is one of the few items that we get to "splurge" on.

Not as flashy as TokyoFlash watches but it does have an OLED screen. Personally I need a watch. I'm just not used to pulling out my cell phone to look at the time.

I don't think wearing a watch has ever been a "necessity" it's a fashion accessory. People saying it's "no longer needed" is a bit of a peeve of mine as it never was needed in the first place. Do you work indoors where there might be a clock on the wall? There used to be clocks on the street corners before that people looked at the sun ... etc. Imagine that there are clocks everywhere, a clock is a fashion accessory if you're not wearing one now it's because you don't want to, it has nothing to do with whether or not it's a necessity.
