What watch do you wear?

I guess the title says it all.

I wear a Freestyle Targa watch.

I really like the oversize digits that are easy to see, especially when running/surfing.

[psgamer0921]

Fossil/Relic are the best.

none, that is what clocks on the wall are for. If I am outside, that is what the sun is for. If it is cloudy or dark, that is what sleep is for.

I've got this Danish beauty on right now.

So fucking light you wouldn't know you were wearing a watch.

EDIT: The picture kept disappearing on me so I decided to host it from Dot Mac.

EDIT II: What the fuck! Well, I went back to the original picture seeing as Dot Mac was bringing this thread to a crawl as it failed to load the image.

:mad:

[Naderfan]

My watch's battery died and it's driving me insane! It's been dead for over three weeks (i don't have the money to get a replacement yet) and I still look at my wrist expecting to see it.

[onlyafterdark]

I have a Fossil watch.

I can't stand having the leather watches. Metal ones feel so much better. Anyone else agree?

[scratt]

Seiko Scuba Master...

Don't think they make them any more..
Totally electronic, analogue, diving watch which can really go to 200 odd meters. Quite big, but made of Titanium so pretty light.

I have had it for about 6 or 7 years and the Crystal screen is totally unscratchable.

My party trick with this is to bash the screen on rough granite walls and then press the reset button which makes the hands fly around in all directions when it does a self test!

Mental watch... and I actually use it for diving too!
Last time I saw one it was going for £1000 on ebay, which is not bad considering I bought mine for about £300 or £400 in Tokyo!

scratt!

[pscates2.0]

No watch, currently. I actually hate them - and any other type of jewelry or accessory - on me. But my last 2 have been kinda neat Coleman watches from Target.

Yeah, only $20, but a nice aged metal look with a cool, worn-looking strap. Big numbers, kinda retro/outdoorsy in look and feel.

But that was over 3 years ago, the last one.

I tend not to care about what time it is too much...the primary benefit of a single, unattached and on-his-own fella with no one to answer to, or for.

Timex Expedition (analog with a little LED at the bottom) with leather band. Scratched the face on it last year and the damn shops I've taken it to are unable to replace the glass. Pisses me off. Every time I get a pair of sunglasses or a watch I like, I scratch them. NEVER fails. Which is why I don't even care when I walk out the door without them.

[Moogs]

I like it! Does it have a scratch-resistant face?

:)

[autodata]

I've got a couple chronographs, but this is my favorite everyday watch:

It gets the job done.

[InactionMan]

Some sort of Timex, much like Brad's. Mine is nigh on four years old. If I don't have my watch on I freak out. Must....know.....time....always. http://members.rogers.com/inactionman/ai/screwy.gif

[propellerhead]

Seiko Scuba Master...

Seikos are the stuff...

I was torn between my current watch and this:

http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/72/26/30/82/0072263082577_500X500.jpg

I decided on the Freestyle just because I'm outdoors a lot surfing, hiking, etc, so it seemed more practical than the Seiko (being a dress watch.)

I still wouldn't mind having one though. My dad has a kinetic Seiko.

This is the only pictures I could find of it........ebay.

I wear a cheap silverish watch I bought for $10 at WalMart. It looks like the Seiko posted above with the blue face.

[NosferaDrew]

I love watches!
But I don't really wear one everyday.

I have about 16 (mainly Fossils, Swatches and a couple of Raymond Weils).

The Watch of Love though is my beloved Bell&Ross (http://www.bellross.com/) Geneva 123:

Clean, simple and it will be mine (after I pick up a 23" Cinema Display)

[thegelding]

damn, my arms don't look that hairly normally...damn, i hate closeup shots

[NosferaDrew]

Normaly?
I don't think the closeness is accentuating your hairiness!

You damn hairy! Get used to it! :D

[Luca]

I can't wear watches. I've tried. I just hate them. They irritate my wrist and I'm constantly taking it off to wipe off my wrist underneath it. They usually don't fit right either, they're either too tight or too loose and there aren't enough settings for the width of the band to go between. I also can't stand wearing rings. My mother and her father are the exact same way - neither of them ever wear watches or rings (not even their weddings rings). I wonder if it's some kind of genetic trait.

[staph]

No watch for me... I lost my last one about 9 months ago, and I haven't really noticed its absence.

If/when I do get a new one, I'll try to beg my father's old watch off him — a nice, very plain analogue wind-up watch... very nice. Much as I hate to admit it, I saw a Calvin Klein watch the other day which was almost tasteful — except for the CK sigil on the face. Ugh.

Metal bands annoy me — leather all the way baby!

[Mac+]

I saw this film once called "REMO - unarmed and dangerous" and there was this Chinese guy (I think his name was Chun) who was his mentor... anyway, classic quote: "Watches are simply a confidence trick employed by the Swiss!" ;)

[HOM]

I like it! Does it have a scratch-resistant face?

:)

If you're referring to the Skagen, unfortunately it does not have a scratch resistant face. I haven't really scratched it up in the two years I've had the watch so I don't think it's a problem.

The only difference is that the face is green.

Swiss Army Pocket Watch (sans case).

[pscates2.0]

That's a cool one, 709! Do you just chain it to your belt, where it kinda hangs like a biker wallet thing? That's a cool look. I can't imagine you wearing a wool vest with the watch in the pocket.

:D

I would TOTALLY consider something like the above, since it's not actually ON me (no rings, watches, bracelets, jewelry, necklace, etc. on me if I can help it).

[709]

That's a cool one, 709! Do you just chain it to your belt, where it kinda hangs like a biker wallet thing?Exactly. The watch fits nicely in the little 'change pocket' on most pants. :)

Having something wrapped around my wrist bugs the crap out of me.

http://www.atlantictime.com/product_images/323-BR03.jpg

this was my dad's who kept it up his ass when he was a P.O.W. in Nam. :lol: :lol:

actually it's a knock-off (or as the guy who sold it to me referred to it "A TRIBUTE") that i got in china for 40 bucks, it's selfwinding and surprizingly rugged and reliable.

i also got a mao waving watch
http://www.jamaicaplace.com/ebay/images/P6221197.jpg

[sunrain]

I used to wear one of these.

http://www.swissarmy.com/webstore/images/watches/24205.jpg

Once I got my new aluminum powerbook I was paranoid about it scratching up the surface while I typed. I used to take the watch on and off when I used my computer, but that got annoying.

Now I use this to tell time:

http://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/2557/1d/commerce.motorola.com/consumer/QWimages/v66blk.jpg

I've always got it with me anyway. I usually put my watch on if I'm dressing up, otherwise meh.

[GSpotter]

I don't like watches that need batteries. My current main watch is a Limes (http://www.limes-watches.com/en/start.php4) Opera automatic:

http://homepage.mac.com/vwurst/opera.jpg

For sport, I have a Citizien Eco-drive titanium Chronograph.

[709]

LOL. A friend surprised me today with a gift.

I've never worn a wristwatch in my life.

Now I do:

It's comfortable as hell. Go figure.

That's what I wear on the rare ocassion that I wear a watch.

[Wrao]

Don't wear a watch, but I do have a cell phone and an iPod, for when someone asks me what time it is.

Visited the original Georg Jensen store in Copenhagen this week, and saw this:

http://www.georgjensen.com/georgjensen/adminimages/gj04_t_UR02_Man.jpg

Mine is black/white instead of gold/white,

and also a fraction of the price.
