Honestly, I currently don't own any watch. I've grown so used to referring to my mobile for the time! I would love to win this though, and start using watches again! Thank you for the chance!

I actually rarely wear a watch. I used to all the time, but it broke and I haven't found one that is as functional, affordable, and stylish.
#2

2008-07-15 06:30
I'm the same - don't wear one, but I really would if I had one this cute!
No, my watch just tells time. But it's pink and digital, so I love it.

I change watches to suit my activity and style. It's the only "bracelet" I wear. I have a silver celtic tooles hinge cuff bracelet for casual dressy,a large face watch for when I really need to see the time easily like when driving. I like to collect them!

Without a doubt!

No, I'm in nursing school so my watch is much more than an accessory.

I rarely wear watches now, but I definitely think they can be worn as fashion accessories, and I used to do so often. I miss wearing a watch...I'm digging mine out when I get home tonight, but I'd love a new one too!!
Oh, I love this watch! I was just thinking yesterday that I need to look for a new watch....
#6

2008-07-15 08:44
I've always considered my watches as fashion accessories! The watch would make a nice addition...

2008-07-15 09:03
Yes, my watch is an accessory. Its rather old now but I still love it. Its a thick white leather band/cuff and the rectangle watch face is strapped onto the cuff. I wear it a little loose. I dont know what I will do if I have to get another watch. I love this one.

2008-07-15 09:16
I love this watch! It's got a fantastic laid back sporty vibe that you could wear with anything. I never win anything, though....fingers crossed!

I don't have a watch, and I always feel like it looks unprofessional to check my cell phone for the time. It'd be nice to have an all-purpose watch as durable as this one! 
Not to mention I'd just look more put-together as a whole.
Not to mention I'd just look more put-together as a whole.
Yes! Well, and no. There are times when my watch just blends in, and there are times when my watch serves as a bracelet!!!
I used to wear a swatch watch, which definitely makes some kind of fashion statement, but then it broke and I never ended up buying a new one (like another poster said, i think my cell phone filled the gap) Watches are total fashion statements though, wether or not you think so. There are so many options out there that as soon as you pick one you've probably decided on something that fits your style, and therefore is a fashion statement!

I do wear a watch! I was given a Burbery watch for my college graduation - sleak and simple, with the traditional plaid etched in the silver band. I never wore watches before...but this one made me a convert!
#14

2008-07-15 10:25
Absolutely a watch is a fashion statement and a great accessory! I love a chunky watch for weekends and a sleek square face watch for work, which needs a replacement as a matter of fact.
#15

2008-07-15 10:53
I have one watch I put on once in awhile. It's a pretty classic style so it goes with everything. But I think that Baby G watch is pretty special and modern! Perfect to replace it!
#16

2008-07-15 10:59
Yes I can not live without a watch and mine is getting tattered and old looking could really use a new one

Yes, most definitely a fashion accessory. It's a "Skagen" from Denmark, and it's black and glittering!

2008-07-15 11:32
Yes, my watch is a fashion accessory! When I can I like to wear a watch that goes with my outfit, though I only have two that I can do that with. I don't have Casio Baby-G! Thanks for the chance to get one.

Yes my watches are a fashion accessory since niether of them work. I do not mind though. I wear a bracelet along with them. I think the look is so fine. thank you for the contest - I would love a working watch!

I haven't worn a watch in years, but would love to. I have gotten in a bad habit about not wearing my jewelry/fashion pieces. 
I am trying to get better.

Not my everyday watch. It is purely for function-Big numbers and 2nd hand,plain leather strap.
Now my dressy watch is definitely just for fashion-too small and dainty to see what time it is but a pretty bracelet just the same.

I am wearing a watch again after many months of not wearing one.It was under 15 dollars and it is cute but not exactly a fashion statement.
#30

2008-07-15 12:31
Yes I would say my watch is an accessory of mine. It's silver with a light hint of pink on the face and I just absolutely love it! W

Watches are the one accessory that I regularly indulge in, when I was in high school I wanted to get a baby g watch more than anything. Maybe now I can finally get one ^.^

Yes. It is an accessory.

Sometimes, my watch is a fashion accessory. Other times, it is a functional accessory. Love this watch though!!!
#42
on
2008-07-15 13:31
Yes it is. I wear it more for the way it makes me look than for looking at.

2008-07-15 13:34
I do try to wear a watch everyday. I feel lost without one. I have a gold one and a silver one. That's as fashionable as I get.
My watches change as often as my underwear!!!
#45

2008-07-15 13:38
Definitely an accessory!
#46

2008-07-15 13:39
I have 2. one is plain and goes with almost everything. One is orange and goes with... well
My watches are definitely a fashion statement and I could sure use a new one. My battery just died in mine and I am lost without it
#48

2008-07-15 13:41
I have two watches. One goes with just about everything and sports my college logo (in a classy way) and one is pink. They definitely reflect my style and interests.

2008-07-15 13:45
My watch is a fashion statement. I don't really have to wear one anymore. Just about everything has the time on it. My cell phone. I even have a clock in the car thank God it corrects itself. Don't think I'd have the brain power to do it!
#50

2008-07-15 13:50
None of my watches makes any statement, but there are some that do.

I actually don;'t own a watch, however in the past my watches have been very indicitive of my personality!
I never had a pretty watch to say it helps me with my fashion look.

2008-07-15 14:05
I only have 2 watches right now - one dressier one which is what I wear when I'm making the effort to look something above casual, and when I go casual I go with my cheaper digital watch.
I love these Baby G's though - thanks for the giveaway.

Sure the watch is a fashion accessory! Think of the Swatch watches of the 80's and how many people would wear at a time.
If I won I would be stylin'

I'd like it to be, but I kill them too often to spend the money on a classy one.

Since I have a 'dress' watch, I'd have to say yes.

2008-07-15 15:26
I think watches are definitely a fashion accessory! Like all fashion accessories, they can be used to complement any outfit in the right way - after all, you can't wear a fancy watch with a hoodie and jeans. I think a watch like this would be more fitting for that =) Hope to win it!
#72
on
2008-07-15 15:26
Watches are a great accessory and enhances an outfit. If you plan to dress up or dress down, your watch will be there to complete your total look! (Not only will it help you look your best, it will also tell you the time! haha.) Good Luck to everyone! Thanks. -Christine.

I only own one watch and it is too plain looking to make any statement much less a fashion statement. I do wish I had 4 or 5 different watches that would be fashion accessories for different outfits I wear.

I guess it would be a fashion accessory. I like a watch to be attractive but I really need it to be functional as well. I depend on my watch for letting me know the date more than I depend on it for time. I would love to win this watch.
#77
on
2008-07-15 15:42
For me it is more of an office supply I guess because I rely on it more for work.

For me, a watch is definitely a fashion accessory. I have a thing for watches so I have at least 30 and am always looking for more. It's part of the fun of picking out what I wear when I'm choosing the watch du jour.

2008-07-15 15:59

I actually haven't been wearing a watch since my last one broke - I'm getting sick of asking my husband what time it is!
#86

I consider watches as a fashion accessory. Theres so many unique watches out there that can go with your clothes. I could use a new watch since my son chewed through my old one when he was teething.
I still feel lost without my watch even though I know I can check my cell phone for the time. My watch says "classic casual" to me. My watch reflects the way I see my own personal style.

My watch is fashionable, it is sparkling and has a matching bracelet. It has "money" written all over it and on the town, it really makes a statement. I can't tell time with it tho, I can't see it. ha! ha!.....honest.
#95
on
2008-07-15 17:07
yes, it is an accessory as i usually only where one when i'm in the mood.
#96

#101

I own several watches but wear them only on special occeasions. The computer bothers a watch so I always take the watch off when I am on the computer.

2008-07-15 17:45
My favorite fashion watch was my 70's superwide brown leather band with the pop rivets. I was extra groovy.
#103

2008-07-15 18:06
I own one really nice watch but I only wear it when I dress up because I am afraid it will get damaged or lost somehow. This would be a perfect watch to wear every day... I just love the style of this one!
#104
on
2008-07-15 18:07
Luxury item, Hell NO. Necessity! We go every where together. sleep, shower, swim, work, you name it we're together. There is no time or need to change just so long as it works...weld it on!

My occupation is a nurse and wearing a watch is a neccessity. Nursing scrubs are becoming fashionable and wearing a nice watch would add to your clothing outfit.
It's both. I really need it. Need to know when work is over. It helps if the watch looks nice.
#121
on
2008-07-15 20:23
I don't think of my watch as much a fashion accessory as a fashion necessity. I do not go a day without it. I got it as a gift from my hubby, who luckily has nice taste.

I'm not very good with watches. (I lose them somehow.) But I finally bought a plain vanilla watch at Target for about $20 and it just keeps on ticking and staying where I put it. So maybe I'm over the losing thing and it's time for me to have a fashionable watch again. I'd love to try.

I love watches but rarely wear one as the ones I have are pretty much "outfit specific" meaning they don't go with everything I wear, just one or two outfits. ***sigh***
Thank you.
Thank you.
