    What's the worst (or Crapp-est) Watch you own ?

    As per title, what is the naff-est Watch you own and why ?
    I found this in a Charity shop, yes the Dog is the Second hand.
    It is truly awful but as it ticks away with the dog slowly rotating it makes me smile.
    I've never worn it !

    A tribute to Saparmurad Niyazov, aka Turkmenbashy, first president of Turkmenistan. The man who renamed streets and days of the week after himself and his mum. And made a classy gold statue of himself that rotated to face the sun.

    A friend of mine got a bottle of Turkmenbashy aftershave. I was insanely jealous for years

    Somewhat ironic that this is one of the few threads that you haven't posted on to say that something looks awful

    Outstanding.

    If only you could get Corbyn, May, The SDP guy, Sturgeon and perhaps Farrage versions.

    It would make a great 2017 election commemorative set.

    I have some cheap vostoks but I would never call them crappy so it would have to be this, the only non mechanical 'watch' I dare wear now and again:

    A rather rash Car Boot purchase!



    I should have gone to Specsavers.

    A very nice young lady realised that I was a bit of a watch geek and bought me this. Bless her.

    Few years ago when I was crazy for I use to buy all the watch I use to see and one of them was cheap watch looked decent. I used it only for 2-3 days and it stopped working due to machine failure. Since that day I stopped buying cheap watches.

    This is certainly the strangest watch I own. Inherited from my father. I never saw him wear it, I've never worn it and probably never will. Must open it up and take the battery out if it.

    I once owned a Gold Coloured watch (from the '70's I think) that had a mock Wood Grain face in a Mahogany Colour.
    I don't have a picture unfortunately.

    Some sort of weird homage to the Roger Tallon LIP watches of the 1970s, perhaps?

    The worst watch I own is an Apple Watch. A rash Dixon's purchase in an airport last year because it was heavily discounted after the Watch 2 came out.

    Pointless piece of plastic that is now tossed in 'the gadget drawer' where old gadgets go to die.

    For me the problem with the Apple Watch was that for the money, it's difficult to justify just using it for going out running or putting on when exercising and it was never going to be worn full time as a replacement for my 'real' watch.

    I found it in the wife's jewellery box. Needs a battery, I think it's from around '98. Still stickered front and back ffs.

    I have this Swatch Skin Chrono that I bought in my final year of uni as it matched my final year Design Show's branding. Now, I can't help but see how tiny the hands are.
