Watches are awesome because they tell everyone at the bar that it’s 2010 and you still aren’t sold on owning a cellphone.

Watches are awesome, bc they’re 100% form + 100% function.

Watches are awesome because they are so unnecessary. To quote Julia Stiles (in “10 Things I Hate About You”), it’s like saying “look at me, look at me!” And dammit I want to be looked at.

they are awesome, because before I had a watch, setting up a sundial wasn’t really worth it!

A watch is jewelry that has function as well. Pulling out a cell phone to tell the time will never be truly classy. A whimsical watch like this one shows that you have a sense of style and humor. No bracelet could accomplish it the same way.

Watches are awesome. I owe some to watches.
And who watches the watchmen, if they only watch their watches? Watching watchmen watch watches, watcha want? What I am tryin’ to say: I want a watch to watch.
(And these sure are some awesome watches to look at.)

Watches are awesome cause I am sure I’ll look even more awesome while wearing them and riding my fixie around town.

Watches are awesome because they protect my wrist from a zombie bite.

Watches are awesome because not every outfit has a pocket for a cell phone!

I am awesome because I use watches for teletransportation and calculating gratuity at fancy dining establishments.

Watches are awesome because they always have my back in sticky situations; I look at the watch, state I am late and I leave. Watches rule!

owning this watch would be awesome because I could stop being told, it’s time for me to get a watch.
;D

Watches gently remind you of the time, unlike your boss!

watches are awesome because i say they are.

watches are not awesome. kind of like that episode of Futurama where they are at a bar and everyone is wearing rings:
Fry: “Why’s everyone wearing those rings?”
Amy: “Guh! Because nobody wears them anymore! Rings are stupid!”
Fry: “I think they look cool!”
Amy: “Shh, don’t let anyone hear you say that!”
Man: “Hey, did that lad just say rings are cool?”
Amy: “No. He said they’re stupid.”
Man: “Cool!”
get it?

Watches are awesome because they give me a visual cue to let other people know they’re boring me. “Blah blah blah.” I look down at my watch. “Oh, sorry. Do you need to get going somewhere?” Yeah, outta here.

I can’t graduate from Handsome Boy Modeling School without a watch. If I don’t get a watch soon I will get an incomplete in my poses class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpvuvFkggaw

Watches are awesome because in my post whiskey haze walk of shame I can tell what day it is and how late I am.
July 30th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
I already tell all these sucka fools what time it is…I might as well be rockin’ one of these sick time pieces while I’m doin’ it son!

Electronic wisdom

A cure for my “always late” syndrome
What time is? Uhmmmmm

Watches are awesome because I still use them to read the time! Others choose not to wear their watch anymore because their cell phones tell them what time it is, but what happens when your cell phone dies? The watch is always there at the flip of your wrist!

Waiting in line for the iphone 4…..5 hours
How long it took me to fall asleep after seeing inception at the imax…..3 hours
Pregnancy test…longest 5 minutes of my life!

Watches are awesome because some are made of high fructose corn syrup and sold for the low warehouse price of $5.99 at your local Smart & Final. (see visual: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5188216&id=531951127)
