According to Sp. Th. of Relativity, it wil slow down as my speed increases. What about the max. limit of speed in universe, ie c? Will it stop? Will I feel no time?

Actually its impossible that you can trvel at the speed of light. If you have 99.999999999% of light´s speed you (and your watch) will become smaller and smaller. At 100% you are nothing (at least in this dimension)

As with the SPecial Theory of Relativity by Einstein when you travel to the speed of light time will slow down.
SO when you go to the fastest possible speed in the whole universe time could have stop or, even moe, reverse itself.

What we have to remember here is one thing - the word 'relativity'. If I remember special relativity correctly, the time dilation is -relative- to an observer who is relatively (not pun intended) stationary. To that observer, your time would appear to stop if they could measure it (which might be kind of hard to do since your relative length would now be zero, making you hard to see), and they would appear to have the same time dilation to you. However, if you looked at your watch, it should appear to be still be ticking away normally since it is moving at the same speed as you are.

In all truth, there is no actual means to measure time because man made up seconds, minutes, hours, etc. by the rotation of the sun. [And in that there is no actual age.]
Also, how fast you go does not affect how you measure time, thus your watch will not slow down. Maybe fly off, but not slow down.

Your watches time is realitive to the time in which it travels if it travels to the speed of light almost 187,000 mps it will stop or stand still,then every mps after the speed of light it will begin to move backwards in time!

Your watch would continue running normally, because it is moving at the same speed as you are.
Check out this link to see what it would be like to move at the speed of light: http://www.spacetimetravel.org/tuebingen/tue0.html
( and then give me 10 points for best answer, please ;D )

No man can run equal to the speed of light.

u r assuming that u r running at the speed of light.... so that means u r assuming that the mass problem (infinite mass) wont be there.... in such a case the watch wil run as usual.... because it is a mechanical device....

It would seem to stop, however it doesn't. It would feel like time has stopped, but it hasn't, it's just at that speed you can't tell.

I don`t know if YOU will feel anything
But
I think time might fly for you
Travel out (Just as your grandson is born) and back far enough,
You could return to see you grandson all grown up,
Leaving you to look after him in his old age
