I recently went back to wearing a watch (there's a thread somewhere on this). Initially, it felt odd after a few years not wearing one but now it's the opposite as I feel strangely naked without it.
I'm not a watch addict, but I've had a few nice ones:
my dad's gold-cased watch from the 50s with Swiss movement
a Tissot automatic which sadly imploded (poss 18th present, can't remember)
a Raymond Weil which was a 30th present from Mrs Woofage
my current Citizen
I did get a cheap Kahuna (sp?) thing for wearing on the bike and as an everyday watch but the movement packed in. I may try to replace it one day for a bit of fun.
In my previous jobs, watches have been a bit inconvenient. They don't like magnets, y'see
