kinda cool since if you buy a watch they plant a tree.

Thoughts?

Honestly I think watches are the biggest fricking waste of money

or you could get a richard mille if you actually want a cool watch but it may cost you around 100 grand or more..

I agree they are dying out, and more a fashion accessory now. My dad does not even wear a watch anymore. There are a few times when a watch is still very handy though.

These watches won't be ideal for 90% of those few times though. The only time I would ever actually be able to use a wooden watch is when writing an exam.

I wear a watch every day as well.

Still though they are dying out. Also the main function is a fashion thing (even you said it, a watch is classy).

Link doesn't work for me. But, since we're talking about it, I wear a watch pretty much every day too. It's handier to glance at my wrist than to go digging through my purse to find my cell phone, plus I'll admit I like the way my watch looks when I wear it.

fuck it. i love watches and i don't think they're going anywhere! watches are useful. i can't have a cell at work, so i can use my watch, and if anything else, they're becoming really cool with designs, shapes, and textures, color etc. companies like nixon reshaped watches, and they started a nice lil trend of bringing people something that works, something that's tough, and something unique.

More convenient than having to pull out your phone every time you need to check the time. Might have to replace the calculator watch I've had since 7th grade with one of these

I lost my blue Ice watch a few weeks ago, sad times :(

Saying they're dying out is like saying televisions are going to completely disappear; OTHER THINGS JUST AREN'T THE SAME!

it's funny how dependent ive become with my watch. i started wearing one for work 2 years ago simply because i need to tell a lot of people where to go and what to do at very precise times and pulling out the cell phone every 5 minutes was such a hassle. now i feel naked without one, when i have it off for whatever reason i find my self staring at my naked wrist until i realize my watch isnt on. used to think watches were only for fashion, but they are so practical and i feel like i have to wear one at all times now.

that being said, these watches are pretty damn sweet, but i plant sooo many trees as my springtime job. haha
