Mr_Theoo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 While I think watches look very cool I am not a watch wearer. The main reason being I have a cell phone always on me so I have zero need for it. Are you a watch wearer or not? And what is your favorite watch? silver & black 1 Quote Driver: Epic 10.5 set to 9.5 w/ Tour AD-DI 44.5 FW: F6 baffler set at 16º Hybrid: NONEIrons: 3i 2014 TP CB 4-PW 2011 TP MC w/ TT S400 Wedges: 52º 56º 60 º w/ KBS C-Taper XS Soft-stepped Putter: Sigma G Tyne 34 inches Gold dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattF Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I wear a watch every day, stainless Seiko Sports 150 I bought in San Francisco in 1997. I don't, however, wear it when I play.

mr_divots Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Used to wear one everyday to work. My insulin pump has a clock on it, so I always have the time. I like the watch though and wear it when I do get a little more dressed up. Seiko Kinetic all titanium. Very light. Just have to shake it a few times to get it going and set the time if I haven't worn it for a long time. I try to take as few things to be potentially stolen to the course with me as possible, so the watch stays home.

whiskey golf Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Definitely a watch person. I only own two watches currently, both are quartz, but I would like to own a very nice mechanical watch one day. There are a too many that I like, Ball, Hamilton, IWC, Omega, Sinn and much more. I realize I could use a cell phone to look up time but there are many more reasons as to why I like watches, they are mechanical art. There are some nice quartz watches as well such as Swiss Army.

Kenny B Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I used a pocket watch when I was in school to put on the desk when taking tests. Since school, I have only had two watches; Seiko and a G-Shock, both are in the dresser needing batteries. Went to the cell phone about 5 years ago, and haven't looked back. Watches and jewelry get in the way of golf. So... thinking about it, I have had the same number of watches as I have had putters. 3 Amazing huh? wbealsd 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp0rtsfan86 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Bought a watch when I graduated middle school. Wore it for a year or two but between batteries dying and my wrist becoming tree limb sized didn't wear one for a while. Bought another watch last year but it fell apart on me within months, and just ordered a new one for cheap off Amazon two days ago.

ZenGolfer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I used to never be a watch guy until a couple years ago. Im a watch wearer now though and I like it. No other reason just because I like the way it feels. I dont have an expensive watch, just a cheapie $50 Casio G-Shock from Target. Id love to have a nice Seiko or Citizen but right now spending money on other, more practical things take a higher priority.

GolfSpy MPR Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A throwback Friday thread! I have a new watch arriving on Monday (if FedEx behaves properly). It's a Fossil hybrid watch: it has real hands, but the face of the watch is also an e-ink display, so it can show notifications. This thread was started five years ago: presumably, the ubiquity of smart phones has made watch-wearing even less common. So how about it: how many of you are watch-wearers? And though this thread isn't specifically about golf, thinking about watches made me recall this post from Andrew Rice on the effect of wearing a watch on the course: https://www.andrewricegolf.com/andrew-rice-golf/2012/09/when-you-play-watch-or-no-watch. This test showed a noticeable effect on swing speed. I tweeted to him today asking if he's ever tried replicating that effect.

STUDque Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 This was actually a factor when I bought my Apple Watch. I wanted to use Arccos without phone-in-pocket but didn't know if I could comfortably play with a watch on my wrist. So, I wore a cheapo watch for a few rounds to see if it affected play. Wouldn't you know it, I got along just fine. With some swings, it actually helped improve wrist position. Bought the Apple Watch and love it in daily wear. Haven't made it out for a good Arccos round just yet but their latest update has me excited. With ShotScope shrinking, I wouldn't be surprised we start seeing more and more people wearing wrist accessories during their rounds. Can't say I'll ever be the type to wear fancy schmancy watches though. Love the look but 1) I can't (read shouldn't) afford them and 2) don't trust myself not to ding them up. Even still, I'd never wear those on the course.

Wedgie Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I wear a Garmin S60 everyday and while golfing as my GPS. I could easily drop it for golf but it would be hard to give up the notification functions it provides. Yesterday's day of travel hell is a great example of never having to look at my phone to see flight delays, gate changes, meetings, etc... All of this goes straight to my wrist to tell me I'm screwed.
