Diesel watches have always been my favorite by far in terms of design. Some of them are freakin' enormous which I personally don't dig, but I get how it could be someone's style as an "alternative" thing with designs like these. Definitely my favorite brand of horlogerie to wear if you're showing off some slick urban style.

On my grandfather's 70th, my mother bought him a Burberry watch to this effect, without the rectangles on the face of it. He died four years later, and my family decided to pass it on to me, and costs more than the combined total of everything else I'm wearing. Now, mind you, that is a handsome, sharp, and mature watch; my grandfather was a handsome, sharp, and 70-year-old man. But I'm not. So I can't wear it, because it looks ridiculous on me. I've kept it in its box in my drawer, maybe one day in the future it'll be my time to put it on.

Put it on my left hand, of course. Only way it feels natural. And I absolutely use a watch, when I have it on, because no 4G LTE satellite-coordinating super-phone in my pocket is going to beat the speed of a glance at the wrist.
