$0, because I don't like wearing them. I own an $800 watch I received as a gift though.

£0. I don't have a need for them and the people I buy gifts for don't either.
---

The most I would spend would only be if I wanted to get myself a nice watch and even then I wouldn't spend over $100.
---

0 my grandfather used to buy me watches all the time then get offended because I wouldn't wear them. couldn't get it through his head that any normal given time I had 2 devices on me that told the time (cell phone and a psp which I mostly used as a mp3 player)
---

Zero dollars
---

If I convert my currency to dollars then I think it was somewhere between $18 - 22

And even that was for a friend's gift, I just don't see the appeal for a watch, if anything its annoying to wear one. If I wanna know the time, the phone's always around. Though I guess a lot of people do find watches classy.
---

$200 is the most I've spent, I probably would have spent more, but I happened to like that particular one.
---

$25 or so. I usually don't wear a watch.
---

I dont wear jewelry.
---

3,000$s
---

I had a nice pocket-watch that I used to wear when I worked - loved that thing, but unfortunately it stopped working.

I don't know that I'd ever buy another, because I telecommute these days, but I'm not ruling it out. Pocket-watches are the shit.
---

Well I have a fitbit so I guess like 100 bucks.
---

$0, watches are useless

Watches are like the only masculine jewelry there is.

I have a fitbit, so it's at least ~100.

Could maybe see 200-300 if I really liked it.
---

100 bucks at most. I prefer analog watches. It's much easier to check a watch than to pull out a phone.

Watches have an actual purpose

I'd never purchase one on my own, I'd ask for it as a gift.

But I dig activity trackers and the watches on those are good enough for me. I'm currently wearing a Garmin Vivosmart HR, which was $~130.
---

i don't use watches, outdated shit, ok?
---

I spent 200 for a prototype Invicta a former worker there I knew had and haven't bought one since, so that.
---

Right now, around 200-300.

If I was rich, sky is the limit.

Not when everyone and their mother has a phone

Its so much more convenient to not have to pull out a phone and tap the screen to figure out the time.

"So much", as in 2 seconds, may be.
---

Also what if your phone battery dies? Not like it'd be the end of the world as most places have a clock somewhere and you could ask people, but still. I see people walking around frantically nervous because their cell phone battery is at 4%...seems logical to me to push off timekeeping functions to a device that has a battery that can last for 5-10 years.

It just seems like a hassle to pull a phone out and tap the screen when all I do now is flick my wrist over. I just think a watch is hella more convenient. Even for things like stopwatches and timers, too.

Of course I own a ton of watches and am a watch guy so I am biased, but I still see enormous value in a digital watch.

0 but thats cus i wouldnt actually buy one.

Id maybe wear a smartwatch if i got one as a gift

Zero.

$100
---

i spent 100 dollars on my watch. if it looks good i'll buy one. i like watches. the one i have now is an armani exchange watch.
---

I'm interested in the fitbit ionic. I've never owned a smart watch before.

The wristwatch is really just a fashion accessory. I see its functionality as strictly a timepiece becoming anachronistic.

Pretty much this. That said, I think a lot of them look nice, kind of like a bracelet. I like watches, anyway. I can't see myself spending over $100 on a watch (and probably not over $50 unless I really, really, really liked the watch), but jewelry doesn't need a practical reason to get it. If it looks nice, it's doing its job.

I have a Gear S3, so $250.
