So you're attending Hogwarts - what watch are you taking?
Somehow, for some unknown reason, your acceptance letter into Hogwarts arrived late. Like SUPER late. Like YEARS later than it should have..."no big deal" you say to yourself "at least it arrived and I was accepted."
But now that you know you're about to embark on a journey that promises mystery, magic, mischief, mayhem, marmalade (probably?) and Moaning Myrtle, you're faced with having to pick JUST ONE watch for you to take on this epic endeavor. Which watch do you take, and why?
NOTE: you don't have to already own this watch 😎 have fun with it! I'll start - I'd take a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Everest Dual Time. It's a VC so has pedigree and it can be dressed up with a quick strap swap. It's made of titanium so it can handle the rough and tumble lifestyle that a wizard in training may encounter, plus 150m of water resistance. And lastly, it's a dual time so I can still keep track of home time for those instances when I'd want to call my friends/family back home in Muggle City USA 👍
Your turn 🤝
Hi! I'm The Timist - I make video games so I can spend my $ on watches, and then make videos of said watches for my enjoyment on IG & YouTube :) https://www.youtube.com/@thetimist
I would just wave my wand and shout “Time-us Appearum” and the time would magically appear on my wrist. 🪄🪄🪄
probably a casio GW6900-1. will take a beating and be super accurate.
Breitling Emergency, the one that calls a helicopter to get you to safety 🤣

Given the yearly incidents that school has I think that makes a lot of sense

Drat, didn't think of that...no wait, oh ummm, surprise turn of events! That kind of magic is banned. World-wide. Yup. Sorry 😜 so if you want the time you'll need a physical timepiece brought with you 😂

I can dig it, great choice! Would you wear it to the fancy ball room dances or leave it in the dorm? 😀

Smart. Very, very smart 👌 steel, titanium, or DLC titanium? 😮
A Universal Geneve White Shadow. The Ravenclaw in me says be vintage and smart. 🦅

as a student, i probably couldn't afford more, and i can't not wear watch so i'll wear it to the ball room, too!

Because this watch can do a magic trick.
Who gives a toss about watches when your battling with witches, demons, magic and Robbie Coltrane all day 🤪
This watch on this strap.
Versatile color all the way around. Ready for anything. Civilized tactical. Fixed bars for Quidditch flying, or fighting He Who Shall Not Be Named and his Death Eaters.
Countdown bezel for how much time until next class, how long until Polyjuice wears off, how many minutes until Filch returns, or making your potions!
🤘🏻🤙🏻😎
I'd take a collection of Bulgari Serpenti and enjoy my new life in Slytherin.

That's fair - well thought through 👍

Oh wow, that's one pretty watch 👌 very befitting the locale as well I'd say - awesome choice!
Never did much in the way of Harry Potter, except borrowing a teacher's laptop that had Harry-Potter-related wallpapers. I'd choose the Vacheron Constantin 222, because it's damn awesome. I'm not a sports watch guy, but this is the exception. I'd give many parts of my body and sell many "friends" to get one of these.
Just to keep on topic, I'll say, Gryffindor, Neville (he's the redhead guy, right?) Voldemort and those flying thingies (snitches?)
You know what, it doesn't even matter, you tried and you had fun with it and at the end of the day that's all that matters 😂👍 plus you picked one insanely cool timepiece as an accompaniment, so double win 🤝
An epic endeavor you say? That's easy...G-Shock.
Hard to beat a watch that can't be beaten - smart choice 💪
Casio MQ24-7B2. White dial, black hands. $15.50. Plain, plain, plain. One watch you could be sure that Snape wouldn't bitch that it was distracting The Class!!
That Snape, always dogging on our watches - he just needs to lay off the timepieces and mind his own business...we should be allowed to wear whatever watch we want 😠...making our watch box lives difficult will never bring Lily back you know! 😜

Ron is the redhead guy. And that's a great choice of yours. That is an unbelievable watch. But be careful about giving up body parts. A while back, I gave my right arm to be ambidextrous. It didn't work out. But go ahead and sell your friends. You can always buy more friends. You just can't buy very good friends.
Can't believe no one crashed this one into the comment section

Aye, good friends are hard to come by...which is why all my friends can fit in my watch box (I joke 😜)
Wait, are all your watches imaginary? In that case I'll have to buy more imaginary watch cases for myself to fit them all 😜

I appreciate the verbiage, and the choice of watch, this absolutely looks like something that would live in the HP universe 🤝

Great choice. I'm guessing no one "crashed" it in because like me, everyone either forgot about it or never knew it existed. I give them credit for the avante garde styling, but have to wonder how many they actually sell.
I know this could be on somebody's wrist in HP, but I'm having a hard time figuring out who. Malfoy's Dad?
I think a Santos Medium would do well.

In that case, I'm wrong. You can buy good friends.
This one, of course...
Embarrassed to say I actually own this, but I couldn't resist the black pearl...cue Monty Python and the Holy Grail's "We're Knights of the Round Table...we dance whene'er we're able..."

Maybe Ollivander? All those wands need testing before they choose their young witch or wizard, there's bound to be a few misfires in his show, leading to a shattered mirror here, a distorted watch there...😜

Great choice indeed! Pairs strong design elements with old world charm, and a strong dash of style and character - I dig it 👌

No embarrassment here! A watch is a watch, and the reasons you got it are yours - black mother of pearl is a striking look, without a doubt 👌 bonus points, because we're talking HP, the fact that the watch brand is "VALIMOR" which sounds a bit like Voldemort's cousin really is working in its favor 😜
