When I can find my phone.
I wear a Pebble watch (I got for free) so I know when someone has called me or sent me a message. Then I go looking for my mobile which I rarely use (a $30 pre-paid lasts me 6 months or more).
Occasionally, I'll wear my Seiko orange solar-charged watch to keep it charged.
I had an Omega Speedmaster I bought new back in about 1973 as shown in the last image above but, after a while, I never wore it as I kept forgetting to wind it up - so I sold it for $400. I was probably ripped off.
I do have an Omega gold watch I was given by my employer for 30 years service back in 1996. I've never worn it but my wife has. It needs a new battery. Is it a DeVille Jubilee? It does look like this one:

Can anyone identify it. The warranty card has a ref. 7910.23.0n (the last digit is indecipherable).
Back when I got it, the valuation for insurance was about A$3,500
This fob watch was given to my wife about 50+ years ago when she worked for a jeweller whilst still at school. It was a trade-in and the jeweller didn't want it.
