I'm serious too. They've become fashion accessories since their actual usage is dead with cellphones, etc.

Yes, you can find them in stores. There's a Dealer Locator on the website.

This is actually a good point and something I never thought of. I guess I've been wearing my watch out of habit. I do think a nice watch looks great with a suit.
Apparently they sell these at the no fear store at my local mall. I'm gonna have to check it out this weekend. Thanks again for the suggestion.

No Fear is still around?
that's pretty awesome. They were the 90s version of Ed Hardy and Von Dutch.Never paid attention to that store when i go to the mall. But after doing some research. They are sponsoring MMA fighters now. So i guess they are making a comeback.Either way they sell that watch that was suggested so i guess I'll take a look in that store.No Fear is still around?

Are you rockin suspenders slung down low? If so, are you wearing a belt too?

OMG I didn't even notice the suspenders.
You are in the "fashion" thread. If you want to talk about "function" this is not the place for that.J

Elaborate on this jb, please. I've been a one watch guy forever. But am starting to pay more attention to other watches I see and like. What is the practical reality of having a bunch of watches. How does this work out for you?JIt was an independent brand for quite some time, then Billabong acquired them. Both design and price went up considerably. I own an Esquire, two Rotologs, a 51-30, and a Connect. Yes, I am a watch hoar (those are just the tip of the iceburg).never heard of this brand but seems like good quality for the price

I own one watch and wear it maybe 4-5 times a year. I inherited it and am terrified of doing something dumb while wearing it.

I have an old ESQ from about 12 years ago. Haven't worn it in at least 5 years. Wonder if it is still in style. Stainless with gold trim.

No reason??? Joe, it's totally in style. I'm guessing you missed Roy Clark from Hee Haw sporting this look the other day on TMZ.

Just something I like...not sure how it started, but I was also a one watch guy for a while (long time ago). I now have watches that I only wear with suits, watches I only wear with tees and shorts, and everything in between. Practical reality? None. Not practical at all. Just like flysack said, if you need to tell the time, you can look at your cell phone or whatever. For me, there's meaning and purpose in some, and others, I just like. Example, my wife gave me a watch as a wedding present with "Our love is timeless" engraved on it. Pretty awesome. Can I wear it everyday? No. It's a dress watch, so it would look silly with swim trunks, and I also want to preserve it's condition given it's sentimentality. I have other pieces that just look cool, and seems to be real conversation starters. Others I marvel at their engineering (automatics, chronos, etc.). The craftsmanship that goes into some is amazing. Further, I'm in sales, so wearing a status watch with high end clientele does help convey an image of success and credibility which can make or break you in some situations.Some people buy a new driver every year. Or a new bat. Or a new ipod. Or a new cell phone. Or a new smoker. Or...Elaborate on this jb, please. I've been a one watch guy forever.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that every person on this board owns some type of luxury item...they just come in different forms - watches is one of a few for me. A buddy once asked me why I have so many watches, and I responded by asking him why he owns 25 fishing rods. To him there's a reason and appreciation. For me, I'm cool with my telescoping Coleman POS...which, BTW, I used to catch the biggest trout of the weekend on that guy's bachelor party.
That make sense?

Lucky Jeans is having a 50% off sale online and in stores. Maybe not metro enough for some of you but they're pretty solid.

Thanks for the info, Captain Obvious.

Really? I love Lucky jeans. Damn expensive, but great great jeans. Too bad the closest outlet is 4 hours away from me. I can't order jeans online either. I have to try them on before I know if I like them.ETA: screw it, at 50% off I may order a pair anyway.

I like Lucky Jeans. To me, they fit nicely in the middle ground between cheap crap that looks awful and expensive for the sake of being expensive. Big fan.

It was a year ago, it was a grand opening of a new club d'town, I was mixing some things up that night giving them a whirl stylewise because there were a number of local designers/hipsters/fashion designers/artists in attendance so figured this would be the place to try it out. Rubber bands, suspenders, and pattern mixing is no longer part of my wardrobe. Now wear a nice watch and more overall streamlined and simple attire. Fashion trends change from year to year and I'm not afraid to give different looks a try to see if they work or not. You win some, you lose some.

Big fan of the Cinco de Mayo T-shirt on there, too.
It's possible I've been in the southwest too long.

So let me get this straight. You're going to a club opening that will have "local designers/hipsters/fashion designers/artists in attendance" and you plan on impressing them by putting a rubber band on your wrist?It was a year ago, it was a grand opening of a new club d'town, I was mixing some things up that night giving them a whirl stylewise because there were a number of local designers/hipsters/fashion designers/artists in attendance so figured this would be the place to try it out.

I don't think this is true. With a watch, I can sneak a look at the time without someone assuming I'm bored with them or have more important matters to attend to like checking my phone for whatever. I know I get annoyed with folks who can't go 5 minutes without looking at their phone for whatever reason. I know it's 5 minutes because my watch sneakily told me so.Now, I don't have to wear an expensive/flashy watch for this maneuver so in that aspect it is a fashion thing.

Whew! Your style credibility remains intact because rocking rubber bands on your wrist, wearing slung down suspenders and mixing patterns was so last year.It was a year ago, it was a grand opening of a new club d'town, I was mixing some things up that night giving them a whirl stylewise because there were a number of local designers/hipsters/fashion designers/artists in attendance so figured this would be the place to try it out.

And did you buy in new or did you go for the vintage look and use one left over from some asparagus?

just came across a sweet purple rubber band in my desk drawer. First observation (other than the fact that it does look pretty tight on my wrist): the thing reeks of rubber. Hope you didn't shake anyone's hands that night offdee. Fashion or not, you don't want to be known as smelly rubber dude.

I'm admitting to it being goofy now (I get it, I do) but really, last year you didn't know anybody that wore a Livestrong bracelet or something comparable with some words written on it? Hell, NBA players wear them today. All those are are colored rubber bands.http://blog.epromos.com/archives/livestrong.jpg

Thinking about picking up one of these.
Anchor Blue has them for $30, but the Louis Vuitton version is much cooler.
