Someday I'd like to buy a nice watch. Not one that would serve as a status symbol, just one that's very clean and elegant. I do heavily prefer leather bands, but croc leather sounds gawdy and awful.

My biggest issue would be with how often I accidentally slam my wrists into things. >.<

You really won't find a quality watch that isn't a status symbol of some sort, especially if you want it to have a clean face and quality leather.
And as for you smashing your wrists into things, that's why sapphire glass gets used.
Pigtails, if you haven't had an analog watch it takes time to get used to. It's definitely a lot better looking when you have a nice timepiece on your wrist as opposed to a clunky digital. It's the equivalent of going out in sneakers as opposed to oxfords, driving shoes, or loafers.
EDIT: and yes, I know I come off as kind of a snob.
Edited, Apr 2nd 2012 7:35pm by Theophany Heh, I don't ever wear oxfords, driving shoes or loafers either. =x I'm too cool to wear those old fogie (foagie?) type of shoes. In all seriousness though, I'm a big fan of comfort. I like dressing up sexy on occasion, but very rarely will anyone see me dress up in anything that makes me uncomfortable, or that is difficult to move in. I do have a cute pair of mary jane's with a one inch platform sole though. And they aren't too terribly uncomfortable. Luckily for me I can get away with wearing trainers to work, otherwise I'd be in a lot of pain after a 5 hour shift. Stupid bad back.
Speaking of work, I had a great day today! I impressed the regional manager, who had called to talk to the on duty manager about something that happened yesterday. She told him to make sure to tell me I was doing a great job, and he was really happy and excited for me. Made a big deal out of it, and told one of the other cashiers when she came on around 11am. And then on top of that, one of my customers called me beautiful today. Which was especially nice since the only make up I was wearing was mascara. ^_^ I hate morning shifts lol. I never have enough time to put on make up AND blow dry my hair.
