What wristwatch do you guys wear daily?

[Thai]

Hey all,

I am interested in wristwatches (e.g. Rolex, Omega, Seiko, Tag Heuer, etc.). What do you guys wear everyday? How about on special occassions??

This is my daily watch: (Rolex Yacht-Master)

 

[Thai]

This is my special occasion watch...actually, it's just collecting dust in my closet: (Omega Deville Coaxial)

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.

 

[Ghost Rider]

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.

I wear my all natural God given Skin:30 for daily and special occasions.

 

[sharp4runr]

Wow, a couple of rolexes? You guys are some old skewl big timers

My every day and anytime watch is a solar powered pulsar. I've had it since about '98 and never had to change the battery.

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.

 

[Iman74]

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.

:guitar2:

 

[Kmvreter]

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.

For a dress & work watch I have a gold colored Seiko that I paid $100 for about 10 years ago. Watches are annoying when I am typing at a keyboard so I often take it off and leave it on my desk so I don't want an expensive watch that might "walk away". For jewelry I have a ring made of about 1/2 ounce of 18K gold with a large sapphire.

When I am outside engaged in my hobbies I wear a Timex Expedition.

I am a watch lover, especially mechanical/automatic watches. After Omega (coaxial) & Rolex movements, the Seiko Kinetic is one of my favorite...great technology (same goes for Citizen Ecodrive...if only Citizen would use sapphire crystals on more of their watches).

Yeah, cell phones and battery watches are far more accurate than a mechanical watch, but the real beauty is in it's construction and amazing durability.

I have been following watches for a long time...not as long as cars though. Cars and watches are my two weaknesses.

Yup, you guys have watches in the 80s and my watch is from the late 90's. I've never seen anyone walking around with one of these to tell time :

 

[Mark86]

I use the clock on my 4Runner when I am driving or my LG cell phone. They work great and I never have to change the batteries. Oh wait, I have to recharge the LG!

I don't like anything on my wrist. I find it uncomfortable and would rather have another means of telling time.

 

[Biff]

Ok you cant' beat my Swiss Army. I've had for 12 years and it still works
