I've lost more watches than anyone because I frequently take them off during work (every classroom has a clock). Besides the students are always aware of the exact time that class is over (but fail to keep track of the starting time.) <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

When I used to travel on business for a living, my watch of choice was a simple timex with an alarm. I'm honestly more concerned about functionality and dependability than style.

Besides, a cheap watch allows more money for other gear <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
