alterego Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I was watching a soccer game and noticed the referee was wearing two watches. A digital looking like a G shock and what seemed a Daytona. I read read somewhere that many people do. If you needed two time pieces on your wrists what would those be ? Personally I'd have my gen Sub on my left wrist and my rep Breguet Type X on my right. I think those two are the best in the sports watch category. Hope someone reads this.

Utheman Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I wear 2 watches occasionally. Sometimes to keep one wound, but mostly just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panermaniac Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 There once was a man from Corfu, Who wore watches, not one but two, A Pan on his wrist, that looked like a clock, The other, a Rolex, that he wore on his... If he asked you to wind it, would you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamcky2k Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 While out hiking or doing coastal research for my job I do somtimes wear a casio pathfinder triple sensor on left wrist for its digital compass and altimeter functions while I have a normal analoug watch on my right wrist so I can look quickly and make note of the time...I also know some divers who wear 2 while diving-although one is a dive computer and the other a dive watch. A family member in the uk special forces also wears 2-while on ops, one will tell the time and the other will count down the mission time... I think if its for a specific reason a lot of people wear 2 watches at the same time-not sure about the fasion statement reason though!

automatico Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 When you wear a mechanical watch...you also need a quartz watch to tell what time it really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardamu Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I try sometimes to wear a second watch on my right wrist. But I cannot keep it more than two minutes. I don't feel comfortable at all. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandal.tbh Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I wear watches because they look awesome. I tell the time by looking at the sun angle. I miss the occasional meeting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I plan to wear my Casio Pro Trek on my left wrist and my PAM LA Bomba on my right as backup on the way up to Everest this March! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I cannot do this at all. At least not on two hands. I just threw my g-shock on my right arm and the balance of it just feels all off. It's horribly uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 to be honest it looks silly on a regular basis. I dive with a digital computer and a mechanical watch as a backup. I can understand a referee needing to wear an official timekeeper for the match in addition to his personal watch but people like Maradona just look like stupid.

HaydenM Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 If I was to do it I would wear them both on my left arm. Couldn't do it with my right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 A digital looking like a G shock and what seemed a Daytona. Well then the daytona must be just for posing. If you have a gshock on one wrist theres no need for any other watch. The Gshock can do everything that the other watch can do and do it better. There once was a man from Corfu, Who wore watches, not one but two, A Pan on his wrist, that looked like a clock, The other, a Rolex, that he wore on his... If he asked you to wind it, would you?

lhooq Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 ...but people like Maradona just look like stupid. Maradona needs a watch on each wrist to combat his vertigo. His sense of balance hasn't been the same since the 1980s, when he was buried in snow for an extended period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have worn one on each wrist just because I got a new one in the mail and wanted to get it home safely. Must say I really don't like the feeling of a watch on my right wrist at all! Way too weird for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowprofile Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 i do this wearing my sub and a heart rate monitor while working out. dont want to leave the sub in the lockers where it may get pilfered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Never worn two watches, but I would wear a 'wrist device', ie MP3 player, GPS unit on my spare wrist if circumstances called for it. +1 On Maradona (and others wearing two watches on day to day basis) looking stupid though. I mean really, what's the point? If a watch was so unreliable that I needed a back up, I wouldn't wear it in the first place, and would just wear the back up As I've said before folks, the right watch for the right situation I wouldn't wear my Suunto Vector clone to a formal dinner, and likewise, I wouldn't wear my DateJust while going abseiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeodatus Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 No no no! A couple of buddies of mine wear their watches on their right hand because they are so used to wear diving instruments on their left from their military days, but this is the only deviation I'm, personally, willing to accept. Two watches? No way, unless you are Maradona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just buy a gmt +1. And as someone else added the cell phone is always the second watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
