Boy, talk about off subject...... OK, I wear a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, had it since 1986 and I expect it to out last me.
When sailboat racing I use a cheap watch with built in stop watch so I can judge the starts.

Man, you guys have too much money...
I've got a Timex Expedition that will last me until I retire to Kona in 7 years...
Then I won't need a watch!

My everyday watch is a fossil. It is titanium (very light and won't fade). If you are looking for an everyday watch I would recommend a titanium one because it is so light.

I too have the stainless steel Rolex Oyster perpetual that was given to me upon graduation. In .....OK..OK..1988.
And for special occasions my Father left me his Rolex 1943 gold black faced bubble back.
Rolex makes the best watches on earth.
But I also have a Timex to beat on.

A Casio that is Radio-controlled with the atomic clock.
A Titanium Citizen Eco-Drive for special occasion.
I also have a Timex, one of the ones with the rotary set alarm clock. But I need to change the battery for that, oh, and the batteries for the Lorus and Fossil.

Watches
Expensive watches are for people who have too much money and don't have enough things to waste it on!
This is my dress up watch:
Casio G Shock $80
Last one I had lasted 10 years and I changed the battery once!
That's a cost of about $10/year.
This is my dress down watch:
Casio G Shock $80
Last one I had lasted 10 years and I changed the battery once!
That's a cost of about $10/year.
I'd hate to see what the per year comparison is for a Rolex $. What a waste of money...

Watches annoy me on my wrist. Besides I am always either near a clock or I have my cell phone with me so I don't really see the need for watches.

LMAO
Are we that bored that we are now starting threads about watches? Hehehehe
Anyway I always wear a Seiko Quartz Sports 150 that my mother got me as a confirmation gift. I am now 30: many batteries, and one board later it's still ticking.
A lot people I see now don't bother wearing watches since they have cell phones that have the time on it, and is automatically set to the atomic clock.

Re: Watches
I used to own one of those: I wonder what happened to it. Remember back in the 80's the show that tested what commercials say? They took that watch, and some NHL player give it a slap shot to the goal, and it was working just fine after.

Yup, we're bored
Cheap Casio DataBank (for all the phone number storage and multiple alarms).
Nice Seiko for the rare suit occasion.
As Iman74 implied, I'll start a thread on another more intersting topic: food.
