I also haven't decided whether I like watches or not. I would like to say fuck you to the corporate world but I have found that during the working week, not wearing a watch doesn't make me less conscious of time - it just makes me more conscious of not knowing what the time is. It's not really a growing up thing as I've worn a watch since I was 11 years old and miraculously, despite the years and a few spins through the washing machine, I am still wearing the same one. Therein lies the problem - that watch wasn't didn't suit me when I was 11, and it still doesn't suit me now. So I am in the market for a new one. Unfortunately, the only watches I can find that are quirky enough to catch my eye are the cheap ones at flea markets, and having one of those would probably be as instrumental to telling the correct time as simply drawing the watch's face in Sharpie on my arm.
