The Watch Discussion Thread

[a6m5]

My current watch is this old, Blue Angels watch. I've owned it for few years and I still have not replaced that battery! Yesssssssss!

I just want to let you guys know, I still am wearing the same watch. I did have a new battery put in though.

This Timex is almost two years old - And getting a bit worn. Still works perfectly, but the red trim around the straps and the white stitching is pretty dark - But has held up well considering I wear it every day, and only take it off when I'm going in the water (swimming/shower, etc), as it takes a while for the leather strap to dry.

A metal strap watch isn't practical for me - I'm an electrician, and the leather strap decreases the risk of shock versus a metal band when I'm working with live stuff.

Meh, it was a gift. I'd probably never put more than $400 into getting a watch for regular use

...I just bought a $800 movado for day to day use... how the times have changed.

Oh, and I also have an old Citizen that I use for if I REALLY want to slum down in shorts and a t-shirt. The movado is much classier when it comes to jeans or business-wear

Here's my current watch. Nothing special in terms of the brand or quality but it looks good. I would like to buy a high quality watch in the near future though. It just feels good when your wearing a flash watch...

- that photo doesnt really do the watch justice

Thats the watch i currently wear, brought for me a few years back now by an ex girlfriend.

Still resisting the impulse to buy the Tag Heuer Monaco ive wanted for so many years though.

Spec....

What else?

I don't wear it often, but it's like this.

 

[Driving Park]

None. I've got clocks all around me... at school, at home, and in the car. So I don't need a watch.

:-)

 

[SolidSnake15]

I wear one that tells time.

 

[Syxx_Killer]

I just got this watch today after my other one literally fell apart. So far I am very pleased with it.

 

[Solid Lifters]

It does my heart good to see more G-Shock Men!

Uh... that's not supposed to sound that way...

 

[Syxx_Killer]

haha I've wanted a G-Shock for some years now. Why I didn't get one earlier on is beyond me. My previous watch was a Timex Expedition Digital Compass. I loved it (was my third). Anyway, I love the features of the G-Shock. Very easy to set. I like the Mud Man G-Shocks and am thinking that will be my next watch, although it won't be for a while. My current G-Shock has a 10 year battery.

By the way, is there a trick to making resin bands last? Namely, the clasp (I guess that is what it is - the little rubber piece that slides over the overlapped band). That is the only thing that ever wears out on resin bands for me. I like resin the best, but that little clasp always wears out on me. This one looks a little beefier than my previous watches with resin bands, but I expect it to go up eventually.

Nice! That thing looks so awesomely high-tech. 👍

Mostly a cell phone to tell my time, but sometimes this:

Not exactly the same but close as I found in a 2 min internet search.

I have a Rado, which is an expensive Swiss made watch. It is scratchproof on the head of the watch (to a lot of things - but sandpaper can still scratch it). It also has little diamonds on the inside. Very nice watch - but I don't wear it that much.

I need to find a watch that I can wear for everyday things.

Pictures of what it looks like.

 

[Smallhorses]

One of those. Had it 3 years, just been away for it's first battery swap and seal replacement.

 

[exigeracer]

You might know my taste for loud colours from time to time, so this is kind of fitting. This watch is such a crazy conversation starter, you wouldn't even believe. I get comments on a daily basis.

This is the only thing I wear sometimes, which resembles a watch.

 

[Omnis]

I wear an iPhone.

But, anyway, I have a Citizen watch that looks just like this Rolex:



I'd get one of these if I was ballin':

Back in the day, four years ago I used one of these:

[superberkut]

I wear a cruddy Timex. Somebody threw it at me during a Phys. Ed. class, but it was waterproof, so I use it now. The person scratched out the lens and broke the Indiglo feature, but it is in otherwise working condition.

My first watch was worth $2.33, and it still works today! The strap is beyond repair, however.

 

[Beerz]

I just got myself a brand new Timex Indiglo for my birthday, it does the job.

I had an awesome Festina with blue leather bracelet, but I got mugged and it was stolen about 4 years ago. It's hard to fight 2 guys when you're drunk... Crap, I loved that watch.

I do have another watch from Acurist, but that's a little harder to track down...

Casio E-Data Bank.

No it's not a phone

It has a Phone book and a place for memo's along with pre-programmed time zones.
