I am getting ready to buy a new watch. Right now I own two that I wear for very different ocasions, but I am looking for one good all around watch, so what are your suggestions?
What I have: Casio Edifice [img]http://www.casio.com/images/b/EF107D-7AV_ab.jpg[/img] Casio G-shock [img]http://www.casio.com/images/d/DW6900-1V_ab2.jpg[/img] |

My wife took my watch away because I kept reflecting the sun into her eyes while she was driving. It was a Citizen...
|
|
My day to day seems to be my Ollech & Wajs M4 automatic...
[img]http://www.rltwatches.com/owm4.JPG[/img] you can see it at [url]www.rltwatches.com[/url] or a Citizen Navihawk Blue Angels watch with blue sharkskin strap. Dress wear is either my Tag Heuer 2tone 1500 or my Tag Heuer S/EL with gray face, black leather strap and deployment buckle. Sitting in dad's safety deposit box is my grandfather's 18k Omega. Next purchase will likely be an Imega Seamaster "Bond" watch. |

At the Farm, I wear a Swiss Army Watch.
Everyday wear is a Skagen titanium watch. BTW, [b]Lordtrader[/b] wears one, as well! On formal occasions, a Fred of Paris watch, I kid you not! Those, plus my wedding ring, are the only items of jewelry I ever wear. Eric The(Simple)Hun[>]:)] |

Timex
Its the Camper model I think. The green watch, PX special, you know what im talking about right? Everyone buys them in Basic training. Ive had 2 in the last 12 years. First one was lost after about 3 years of use, the second has lasted me 9 years and counting. |

Tissot's are sweet... IIRC they are to Omega what Tudor is to Rolex. Awesome watches and a real looker... adding it to my list.

I had a watch that I got right after I went to permenant party that lasted my whole enlistment. It was expendable so it was free, and it was ordered through our parts girl! |

It comes in a blue(as seen in the pic), SS,white and a black face. I bought the blue face because I usually am wearing some type of blue and I like to match (No, I'm not gay) In person the PRS2000 is even better looking than that crappy pic! |

I'm gonna order a new crystal and bezel to replace this beat-to-hell one I've got. I'm very hard on watches. -Troy |

I've got an older Omega but 90% of the time I'm wearing a Citizen or Casio
|

When I wear a watch, it's a Swiss Army. Normally I use the clock on my Nokia.
|
|
If I wear a watch it's normally a Timex Ironman. Cheap, reliable, water-resistant.
I have an old Rolex Sub that my grandfather gave me, but I only wear it when I want to look like a snob (which doesn't happen frequently). The Omega Seamaster automatic chronograph is a potential purchase once I start making some money that doesn't have to go mortgage and insurance. |
|
The bottom one, stainless steel...

Pocket watch on a proper chain IF I'm going to wear one.
Normally I just use the clock in my Nokia Cell. |

Anyone ever see one of these?
[img]http://www.leogalleries.com/watch_pic/mrg_1200tb_1ajf.jpg[/img] You can get titanium G Shock watches off ebay. They are originally only sold in Japan. There are many other styles available. [img]http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/closeoutwatch/.mids/1512.JPG[/img] |

Seiko Le Grand Sport..Titanium.. I HATE heavy [:)] |
|
Luminox STEALTH in black...Service Merchandise went under a while back and I picked it up for about 40% off! The thing is built like a tank and takes a little getting used to. You never have to worry about losing it :)

See what I'm talking about? Now this is an important subject worth responding to.[:(!]
Good thing I didn't send my money before. |

I am asking a legitimate question. I have always worn casio watches, and am looking to see what is out there and durable. If you don't like it tough. And if it is not worth responding to, they why did you? To bring it back to the top? If that is the case, then all you had to do was type BTT. |

I don't wear a watch. Haven't worn a watch in 9 years or so. If you ask me the time, I'm usually within 10 minutes of being right. Though, crossing time zones and daylight stupid time twice a year still messes with my mind for a day or two.

Rolex Sub,
But the Seiko I bought 20 years ago is still tickin! |

View Quote This is in the General Discussion forum and is more than worth pursuing. I can think of 1000 reasons as to why a good watch is critical in your daily life. If you don't care, don't click the topic. Better yet, if you are going to whine for the sake of whining, why not start your own topic about how you are leaving the board and we will all post our goodbyes there. |

Rolex Datejust gold/stainless two tone. I've worn it just about every day since I bought it in 1982.
For formal dinners, etc. I wear my father's old Elgin which is rectangular with an arched crystal. |

Not to be a smartass or anything, Hiram (okay, I [b]am[/b] being a smartass), but I for one would really like to see a list of [b]1000[/b] reasons of why a good watch is [b]critical[/b] in daily life.
...cuz personally, I can only think of maybe 1, 2 at best! [;D] |

Currently I have a Citizen which needs a new band.
I really miss my Ricoh but my wife threw it away think it was broken, had it over 10 years. It just needed a band too. My favorite is Constantine (A Swiss watch) really nice and one day I will have one. |
|
Either a Seiko Kinetic or a Citizen Titanium. From the days when I used to travel a lot I need a watch that displays day and date (no LCD panels, please); I've gotten off one too many planes wondering what day of the week it was. [;)]

Tag Heuer 2000 exclusive for me.

I really love my Timex Atlantis 100. It is inexpensive but not cheap at all. Battery lasts forever, takes a great deal of abuse, and it is very comfortable. Best watch I have ever owned (used to just stick with Cassio).
