Mine would have been a Timex or Ingersol around 1962.

Re: Your First Ever Watch
Sorry to be a little late to the party.
Without going through family photos to confirm, this Timex Color Flicks is among the first I remember...and still own. A little beat up, but still tickin.

Btw, how do you post actual pics, instead of making you click on links to the pic??

Re: Your First Ever Watch
I had some kind of hand-wound Timex - mid 70s this would have been. I think I'd appreciate it more now than I did then! After that a series of crappy digitals that kept breaking down, until I went Casio.
First proper watch was a lovely, blue-faced, super-skinny Rotary. Sadly the strap broke one day - the watch was so light that I didn't notice it had fallen off my wrist until it was too late

Actually I'm not embarrassed by that, I bloody loved that watch
A guy I went to school with had that, he set it to work with the tv they used to wheel into class when we had a video to watch.
The teachers never figured out why the tv kept muting or switching off only when it was our class using it.
