Mine is a sundial that weighs a ton, chafes my wrist, and doesn't work as well when it's cloudy.....but at least I don't have to spend money on batteries!

Anyone who would spend $2000+ for a watch to give
as a gift to a kid (no offense meant here - you ARE a kid)
is crazy as far as i am concerned.

BTW - your watch cost more than a new Intel macbook!

I have a Tissot PR50 titanium. Very nice and lightweight watch but very reasonably priced.

A new Omega Speedmaster Legend, eh? Well, I can out brag you, kid.
My mommy and daddy just bought me a new Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, just for taking out the garbage! So there!
P.S. And the gearshift knob's got a 20 carat perfect cut DeBeers diamond set into it!
P.P.S. And in the glove box, is a matched pair of custom made platinum plated Beretta automatic pistols with my name in 24 carat gold, which I'm free to use to blow my friggin' brains out if I scratch my new Porsche 911 Carerra Cabriolet!
Bet ya can't beat THAT, ya smart ass kid!
Oh, by the way, I'm wearing an 8 year old Timex watch.

AHHHH. No of course we don't have watches?! What the f*ck are you talking about?

I just engraved my 233 Wallstreet with stained titanium (you know the color spectrum shifts as you apply acid to titanium) and then I went to the local jewlrey store with my mommy and daddy and they bought me a pound of perfectly cut diamonds to fit inside my two Apple logos (one on top, one on bottom!)!

Oh and when I got home, to my surprise, a quad processor G5 was just sitting in my driveway! When I popped the lid, guess what? 16 gigabytes of RAM! That should help my FOUR processors keep it up when I'm posting on the internet.

*fizzle* >.<

Oh... and yeah, I have a watch or two, and they both play music and video! One of them even calls my girlfriend when I say her name! Does yours do that too?

Yo CJ, You better not mess that watch up. ANY of the automatic winding, swiss movements are PRECISION INSTRUMENTS. The artistry and engineering in fine time pieces date back to the late 1700's. They are works of art that should be well cared for. Here are a few simple ways to care for your new watch.

1. Avoid magnets. (I don't think you want to know what they'll do to a spring.)
2. DON'T SCRATCH THE CRYSTAL.
3. BE CAREFULL NOT TO OVERWIND if you use a watch winder. Run it for a few hours a day if you don't wear the watch much.
4. Store in it's case when not in use.

My suggestion would be to only wear it for special occasions. Don't wear it to school ok?

BTW: I wear a Citizen EcoDrive Chronograph. Had this watch for 10 years with no need to change the rechargable battery!
It's primary power is solar with the solar cell concealed in the face.
