For some reason, my phone refuses to take a non-blurry photo right now. Anyways, I have been wearing my Swiss Army Victorinox watch for more than 10 years. It was an engagement gift from my then fiancé. It has sentimental value, it looks nice IMO, and I do like not having to pull out my phone to see what time it is.

I'm pathologically punctual. In fact, I'm almost always 5-10 minutes early for everything. I like watches too, I like the precision and craftsmanship involved.

When my wife graduated from medical school, I bought her a fancy watch. It's a symbolic gift, it will retain it's value and can be a family heirloom.
