I got my first (and only) watch many years ago before everyone just checked their Iphone. I got it at a skate shop, of all places, and was owner of this watch for about a month until I set it down one day and it disappeared. I remember felling like a "grown-up" wearing that watch. I felt responsible. I knew what time it was, grown-ups always knew what time it was. 
I haven't had a watch since which brought me to this post of 15 Great 11 Great: Watches. My requirements were: (1) It must be a great accessory, telling time is second. (2) It must be under $200, because you never know when it will disappear and (3) I must start my look at a skate shop i.e. Zumiez.
