Anytime (February 20, 2013)

Looks sharp!

I'll stick with my Tag Heuer.

notfeelingcreative (February 20, 2013)

Not very punk rock I suppose.

returnofdebs (February 20, 2013)

I have one as well. It's all good. :)

notfeelingcreative (February 20, 2013)

At leather I'm not the only anti-capitalist with an unnecessarily expensive watch.

ReelBigMike (February 20, 2013)

I think watches are completely antiquated...but I still want this.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

'Antiquated'?!?!? It's a watch, it's ahem, timeless.
What do you use, a phone?

ReelBigMike (February 20, 2013)

Yes, like a majority of people, I just use a phone. Other than as a fashion accessory, I really don't see a need to have a dedicated time telling device.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

Goddamn kids

eazyd2 (February 20, 2013)

i still use the sun too bud

Scruffy (February 20, 2013)

There's nothing wrong with wearing a watch, and there's nothing wrong with not wearing one. Do you realize how fundamentally self-involved and stupid it is to tell someone with a timekeeping device currently on their person to spend good money on another, redundant device simply because they were necessary in the past?

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

Do you realize how fundamentally self involved and stupid it is to engage me on the Internet?
Shut up shithead.

Goddamn kids.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

I'm not ever worried about whether or not my watch is charged or in the car/house.

Dedricthere (February 20, 2013)

Exactly.

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

If I were a Reel Big Fish fan I wouldn't want to wear a watch either. It would be a constant, soul crushing reminder of how bad that band has been for the last 15 years.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

Shazam

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

thats Captain Marvel to you

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

Sorry Mr Batson.

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

This ain't the New 52!

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

I haven't read any of that.

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

Captain Marvel is now called Shazam.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

But but but the wizard.

droneclone (February 20, 2013)

So what you're saying is that you would rather buy The Descendents Pep Talk phone™? Or better yet, the Yaddaddayaddayadda Is What We Gotta Do phone™.

Me? I'm waiting for the Descendents pocket-sized Fat Beaver.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

Reported.

davebrave4 (February 20, 2013)

The trademarks are a nice touch.

theproblemwithfire (February 20, 2013)

good little consumer you are

mclz (February 20, 2013)

Way to go Punknews....this has only been in the Descendents online store for like 4 months

NCDS (February 22, 2013)

BREAKING PUNK NEWS! Descendents unveil a new watch...that most of you are already wearing!

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

Shouldn't the Descendents garner the same amount of hate that Hot Water Music did over their Vannen Watch? Its the same fucking thing.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

The descendents have always had a lot of merch. They used to sell toilet seats, shoes and (appropriately) coffee mugs.

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

Just looking for a little consistency here.

VinceMcMahon (February 20, 2013)

Yup, this band is the Kiss of "punk." All merchandise, no music. Hey, put that on a Descendents t-shirt!

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

What the hell are you talking about with 'no music'?

davebrave4 (February 20, 2013)

I was gonna say. The may not put out an album every year, but they've had a pretty prolific year overall.

BarleyPat (February 20, 2013)

mclz (February 20, 2013)

Toilet paper, blow ups, sparkler and water guns, trading cards, work out guides, fake money, smokers club cards, bingo games, etc. I think LTJ has the Descendents beat.

KevinEleven (February 20, 2013)

Going by their merchandise-to-music ratio, I nominate Social Distortion for the KISS of punk.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

You don't think the misfits win this?

BarleyPat (February 20, 2013)

Checkmate

killtaker (February 20, 2013)

I wonder how much a Misfits license or a Sex Pistols license costs? Those bands aren't making any of that shit on their own.

bastard_squad (February 20, 2013)

A sleek unwrinkled $100 bill.

wesnile (February 21, 2013)

And the Misfits are the kiss of punk rock.

davebrave4 (February 20, 2013)

At least this should be one size fits all. I tried to buy the Descendents Vans sneakers a few years back, and they didn't make big enough shoes for me.

davebrave4 (February 20, 2013)

I also had the same issue with the Descendents condoms.

BarleyPat (February 20, 2013)

10/10

BarleyPat (February 20, 2013)

That's cool, but I'm 99% certain I will never wear a watch again in my life.

uscbdaddy (February 20, 2013)

So you're saying there's a chance!

BarleyPat (February 20, 2013)

The 1% is for if Skynet takes over, we lose the capabilities of using the phones that we all carry in our pockets (I carry two, actually), I'm forced into the underground and happen to come across a still functioning wrist-mounted time-telling device that I remove from somebodies grandpa's corpse that got buried under a pile of rubble, but their arm is sticking out allowing me to procure said device. So yes, there's a chance.

BarleyPat (February 20, 2013)

...also, I love them, but I have to say:

Got the Time (Anthrax version) > Get the Time

KevinEleven (February 20, 2013)

I wanted it until I saw the price. I just can't bring myself pay $75 for a watch when I don't need one to tell time, even if the materials are of good quality.

skolarx (February 20, 2013)

from the pictures, it looks like the same shitty material that they use to make kid's watches like the onld Nightmare before xmas ones i have at home

vannendave (February 21, 2013)

Most plastic watches on the market are indeed shit. This guy on Reddit felt the same as you until he actually got his hands on one... and as you can see he was pleasantly surprised.
