I hate to be rude to somebody I get intimate with on a pretty regular basis, but I don't think you set up this thread in a very fun or interesting way Walrus. You have to tease out a thread like this like I did with the favorite hot drinks thread which as a topic was banal, but breezy and frothy like a morning latte.
I have a watch, but it is entirely functional and used to measure my daily distance, sleep patterns and heart rate. For telling the time I just look at the corner of the projector or look at my phone which I keep in my jacket pocket. I do not really care about watches, cars or things other people are generally interested in. Sometimes somebody will ask me what car I drive and I hesitate and say 'A gray one' as I can never remember the type it is. It's just a vehicle to me. I don't get precious about things like that. I can remember all kinds of strange things like IQ data, obscure and weird scientific facts, and historical triva, but get completely flummoxed when it comes to things like my address, car, or anything others might deem as practical. I live in an abstract place.
Watches and stuff like that are beyond me. I think they are often just a status symbol these days like men who overcompensate for shortness or penis size by driving an SUV. I am comfortable in my own world as I feel comfortable with my manhood.
