Do you remember these??

[jttheclockman]

I was flipping through some ebay sites for watches and came across these watchband calanders. How many people remember these back in the day. I remember using these because I always wore a watch and still do today. I know with all the cell phones watches are becoming a dinasour . A blast from the past.

There is probably people out there that wish they were still made. And for the record, I am too young to remember these.

I'm old enough to remember them, but I never saw them before.
All my watches had day/date in them.

I remember them and used them. They were handy. I haven't worn a watch regularly in over 20 years, tho.

I remember them, but I had to quit wearing a watch about 20 years ago... they started to irritate the nerve endings in my wrist.... never wore the calendar though.

I wasn't wearing a watch when those were a "thing". However, I think if you bent one around a tube you could sell one as a birthday pen to whoever was born in '81. I think that would be neat.

I believe I remember those. Started wearing this one a few months ago.

This is where I was thinking also. These were limited though. They were the poor man's calendar watch back then. They did scratch your wrist if your watch band was too tight. I have that permanent watch tan on my wrist but I feel something is always missing if I leave home without it. Just like today with cell phones

I have never seen those. I bet some guy out there wishes they were still in production. Probably the same guy who still uses a bag phone. Ha

Wore them for many years....

I'm old school - I like my watch, and I like my calendar on the wall...

Remember them well and wore them on my watch band. Sometimes Vendors who called on me would bring a set shortly before the new year - part of the "trinkets and trash" that they brought.

It is good to see I was not alone. We have come a long way in the watch dept.
