Forced to wear a pink watch for two weeks

[EmmaWoodlouse]

My usual watch is silver with a tan strap, very classic, beautiful and goes with everything.

It has been sent off for repair and I'm stuck with my other one, which is a deep raspberry pink rubbery outdoorsy style one (looks a bit like an Ice watch but it's a cheaper brand). I'm likely to be without the other one for about two weeks.

If it was you, would you resign yourself to only wearing clothes that "go" with this colour or just ignore it and wear what you usually wear? It will look particularly clashy with red.

Or just not wear a watch ?

I'd be lost without it! (and I have a white line)

I would just ignore it and wear what I wanted.

Definitely just wear what I wanted. That type of watch is meant to stand out.

I'd buy a cheap watch with a black strap.

What? Do people really live like this?

Use your phone to tell the time and wear a bangle or bracelet to cover the tan line.

I would just buy a cheap neutral one - New look, Argos, Asda or something - will be under a tenner.

Just wear the watch. It doesn't matter if it clashes, it is just a watch you have to wear for 2 weeks :)

Alternatively, get another strap or another watch. But is it really worth spending that amount of money if it is just for 2 weeks?

Buy a big cheap one! I get more compliments on my huge Asda watch than my elegant Skagen.

Thanks - enough people are saying just live with it that I think I probably can. I could probably train myself to use a phone to tell the time if I was going to be without a watch for weeks and weeks, but I've worn one all the time for at least 35 years so it would probably take longer than two weeks to stop instinctively glancing at where it should be. (Also I can't have my phone on at work.)

I admit it was a rather trivial question. I got fed up with worrying about something more important, and worrying about something trivial took my mind off it for a few hours.

Thank goodness you realised how utterly unimportant your question was. You had me seething at the word forced.
