Do women really use their watch to check times? As in, are the watches designed to show time or is it just an ornamental piece? I had been to this Titan showroom yesterday, to buy a gift and I couldn’t decipher the time from 60 % of the watches. But the watches looked really good (In the showroom, I mean)

Then why do dudes go off buying expensive watches… Why does it matter how expensive it is or what brand it is. Time is time, whether it’s on a dollar kiddy watch or an expensive, strange interfaced ornamental lady’s watch =P.
Watches are a pain in the butt, feels like someone’s grabbin onto your wrist all the time. *shudder*

hehe, anon is perfectly right…
i’ve seen vetti s/w professionals wear watches with dials for pressure, temperature, milli-seconds, nano-seconds and what not… thiruttu browsing, gf-oda chatting-ku ithellaam thevaya?!
and girls who DO wanna see the time once in a while, DONT buy watches like the one u’ve mentioned
big dial watches are supposedly “in” for women now!

A watch has become like an ornament for women. No gold bangles/bracelets. A costly, designer watch is what a girl wants these days.
