Brandon Adams wears a wrist watch which says something specific about him.
Brandon Adams. Renaissance man. He can read a clock. Well duuuhhh. Sounds simple but as I watched his broadcast today from Calloway Gardens or where ever it is he is spending all our free Kroger food cards on massages and mani/pedis and water rides for his kids and etc I noticed his wrist watch. Few people wear them any more. Why? I was working part time at a local private pool for four or five years up until a couple of years ago. I signed members in and out. They had to write down the time and they always asked me what time it was. I'd point to a clock in plain sight above their heads. I began to notice how people in about their mid 20's and younger looked confused and how their eyes would glaze over as they stared at the clock. The did not know how to tell time on a real clock! I'd have to tell them if they didn't have their smart phones handy. Think about it. Everything they see now is digital including the time on phones, computers, everywhere. So they never have to read a clock. I asked on Facebook some teachers I know about this. Clock reading is still taught in school in like first grade. After that the kids never use it again. Most schools removed the clocks from classrooms a long time ago to keep kids from clock watching waiting on the bell. Anyway, just an interesting (eehh) factoid I learned.

Live my the ole watch. Each morning before walking out the door... wallet, knife, gun, watch, and keys in pocket
I still wear my Seiko Dive Watch...feel naked without it.
Same one Redford wears in that movie where it's just him stranded on a boat
Who needs a calculator when I have my dad's slide rule?
I have a thing for watches, cheap or expensive and same for sunglasses.
Wow. Kids like you are ruining America. Not knowing how to use an abacus and slate will destroy our economy.
Feel free to mock but I wear an Apple watch. To be fair it was Dr. recommended as I've had some health issues over the last year plus but I'll admit I like it.
I agree in general about watches though. I have a nice Swiss one given to me by my dad for my HS graduation that I love and if I had a lot of disposable money to throw around I'd probably have more. I'm partial to a stainless diver's for everyday wear but I'd love to have some nicer leather band ones as well.
Cast Away?
I think Redford was in some arty movie not long ago where he was on a boat or raft in the middle of the ocean.
Wrong order gun always goes first lol sorry that’s just me
i thought you were going to tell me he wore a Mickey Mouse watch or something.
BA wears a watch because he continually needs to know what time it is, how much time he has used, how much time he has left.
I don't get the folks who wear silly Apple watches. Fragile with very limited useful functionality. I have a Suunto, which also has many of the useless functions of an apple watch, but I use it for sunrise and sunset times, barometric pressure, the compass, and as a backup gps - and also to know the current time. Those first items are helpful during hunting season.
They wear them to text mostly in my experience
I went to lunch with a couple of co-workers yesterday and we pestered one of the girls, actually we told her how rude she was being, to put her blasted phone down. So she put it down and we proceeded to have a nice lunch until her watch dinged with an incoming text. I could have slapped her.
THAT would have been the adult thing to do. It is our job to teach proper adulting.
