I'd be lost without my watch. The battery of my last one broke a while ago, and it took me a while to replace it, and I felt naked the entire time. I kept shaking my wrist because I'm so used to doing it with my watch.
I was wearing a cheap $5 watch, and the band broke, so I went out and bought another cheap watch $7. I can't stand to spend too much on a timepiece that I'll only ruin in a matter of months.
