I've just ordered a new one today with some of my birthday money It's a big faced rose gold one and it was on offer so I'm happy.

I have a nice gold dress watch that was given to me after someone close died. I do wear it on special occasions but I decided to treat myself to a more practical one

Not wealthy enough to afford one, but I lust after well-crafted timepieces. Something about the attention to detail on such a small scale appeals

A Rolex. Although to be honest I bought it in China for £20 so I'm not convinced it's genuine (I've been told it's a good fake though lol)

I have a big chunky rose gold Michael Kors one that I bought as a present to myself a few years back to celebrate an achievement. I can't stand not having a watch on, it really stresses me out not knowing the time, so I wear one all day every day.

That's what I've got. A pink one. It's very interesting to see how many calories are being burnt off! Especially on a Friday when I do an hour piloxing then 40 min pump back to back

Love my watches. I used to have a Breitling but when it needed a repair that cost as much as a small secondhand car I sold it. If money were no object I'd have a Franck Muller Long Island.

Not worn a watch for years.

I have one. It sits in its box in a drawer.

I find them unnecessary in this day & age and derive no pleasure from wearing one.

Been looking at watches all day for a Christmas prezzie for my darling lady

Was choosing between a big chunky Michael kors, a gorgeous white tag heuer or go classic with a Rolex

I settled on a Louis Vuitton bag in the end somehow.

It's our first Christmas in our own home so wanted something nice to surprise her with

I like a medium size face (Ediface) but the watch must be heavy, mine weighs a ton. Never really bothered about them before but I do like a nice watch as I get older. Definitely an investment.

I collect automatic watches, mainly chronographs. My daily wear is a Seiko Automatic Diver with a shark mesh strap.

I could wear a different watch every day for 6 weeks

Not for a while. Haven't bought one this year.

The last watch I bought was a 1970's Ricoh Automatic. Ricoh haven't made watches for a while now, and when they did they mainly sold them in Asia. They tended to be quite art deco style.

I've never seen anyone with one when I've been wearing mine

I've got a Timex with a light up face. Cheap, easy to read and I can read the face when I'm camping and I've got no idea what time it is when I need to go to the loo. I've been bereft since I caught it on my desk and the strap pinged off. I was really pleased my husband fixed it today.

Haven't worn one for years, don't really accessorise or wear jewellery.

Would probably get one that's unique and an occasional wear if I did. Or a Casio.

If anyone has got an old Pulsar LED watch in good working order, you may be interested to know that they are now fetching between £1500 and £2000.

Even a beat up one is worth a couple of hundred quid

Always worn a watch, to tell the time but also as jewellery. If I could afford a fancy watch I would go for it. Only leather straps though. One day I asked a colleague for the time and he took out his phone, duh I could have done that.

I'm not really that interested in watches, I never drool over expensive watches in jewellers windows, like I do diamonds.

I do have one I wear to work, a rose gold fossil watch that cost £140. I wouldn't spend any more than that really.

I've got a tag I wear when going out and are getting dressed up. I also have a couple of different g shocks and a smart watch that I wear the rest of the time. They are just accessories to me if I want the time I normally check my phone. I've got 9 watches in total but I get away with it because juicy has way more pairs of shoes than that.

Have a few from high end to functional I just like watches to be honest. Don't wear them to show off as I would be terrified of getting it nicked. Have inherited a couple and keep them safe. They are normally quite a steady investment for some of the rarer pieces.

Fashion statement and naturally functional. I do suspect that the kids of today will not have the same affinity to watches. None of my kids want watches of any description as they don't see the point of them.
