These large watches...

september · ‎03-09-2010

Do you think this is a trend that will still be around a few years from now? Or will it be like the big shoulder pads? Now, when we look at the photos of mega-shoulder-padded women from the 80's...we think they looked silly.

I bought a larger sized Judith Ripka watch once, and it was too big for me. I took it to a local jeweler to see if he could resize it for me, and he said he could but didn't really want to! He said he thought these big watches look like people are wearing alarm clocks on their wrists! I had to agree, and I returned it.

So...I learned my lesson, and won't buy another big one, but they still seem popular.

Not only do I thing big watches are on their way out but I think ALL watches are. I have several and I liked the large ones because of my vision. Now I just use my phone to see the time when I am out. And at home I have clocks all over the house.

I love my "Boyfriend" watch. I too needed as many links as possible taken out but I wish they could have taken one more out. Anyway, I think they will last for quite a while.

I don't know how long they will be around but I love them. I have several Fosil watches that have interchangeable bands. It fun!

They have been around forever and are here to stay.

I don't wear watches as often as I once did, but I do have several, not counting my sports watch. The largest one has a face that is about 1" in diameter. I think anything bigger than that would be uncomfortable, for me.

And yes, my cell phone does give me the most accurate time, especially when traveling from one time zone to another. Sometimes, when I'm wearing a watch, I still find myself checking my phone for the time!

I love my big watch, I can always see the time no matter where I am.

I like my watches. I think carryng a cell around looks silly and desperate, like you're hoping someone will call.

And I think that you probably don't have to worry too much about missed calls.
