Can a wrist watch be better than this?

I am not exactly a fan of wrist watches – In fact, I have not been wearing a wrist watch for the last three years. For me, a wrist watch is supposed to tell the time, and since my cell phone comes with me everywhere, I can see the time from there.

I have never considered a wrist watch to be a fashion accessory (or) a statement of style. Sometimes the sweat below the wrist watch even irritates me. So, I did not consider wearing a wrist watch at all, till I saw this one in a magazine –

attractive and beautifully designed watchWell, I might change my mind if I get a watch like that! 🙂

    An ornate wrist watch I must say… and very unique. It is a little scary too. I wouldn’t want to house a lizard on my wrist. 😉 🙂 Is there anything special about the way it functions??

      Its not a lizard – Its a crocodile. I am not sure if the circles in the middle have any extra functionality!

    If you keep a morning alarm and wake up to see this with sleepy eyes…no, don’t want to think about it! Better not wear a watch!

      I thought the crocodile was so artistically placed in that watch! 🙂

        Yes, it is beautiful, but a crocodile is a crocodile!

    Rajesh,

    Yeeyyyyy. We differ here. I like to wear wrist watch and purpose…to look at the time. Just for time. Cell phone is in pocket, car has watch but I still prefer wrist watch for time….well one does not have to remove the phone just to see the time……

      Sometimes I have felt like that too… Maybe I just don’t want to ‘face’ the fact that I am late! at times 🙂

      Looks like you have a lot of things that you don’t need! Earlier glasses, and now watches! But what it shows is, you have a lot of sweet friends who give such gifts – So, you don’t necessarily have to use them – their presence itself is happiness.

    Haven’t worn a watch ever! But would like to, someday, perhaps the best of the league!
    This piece is very interesting!

      Not worn a watch ever? That’s interesting… 🙂 Maybe time stops for you and you don’t stop for time! 🙂

        never? What about exams?

    ooooh..interesting watch.. wonder if the crocodile rotates around that middle circle, depending on the time 🙂

    1. Rajesh K

      I hope not, static crocodile itself is frightening people here!

    I feel its a lil weird… too complex for a watch…

    1. Rajesh K

      You are right about the too complex part. I thought it was so different, and liked it at first sight!

    is that a crocodile?? :O I find looking at mobile for time too cumbersome.

    1. Rajesh K

      That’s true, but I am more happy with mobile as I don’t have to look at time for a long time 🙂

    It looks grand. And very very expensive…encrusted with stones/diamonds/whatever. What brand is it?
    But I probably would not want to wear that….too complicated a watch 🙄

    1. Rajesh K

      I don’t know what brand it was – don’t have that book anymore! But I was impressed with that crocodile design – If they could come up with such a design without those stones it would still be fine, I guess.
