I searched and couldn't find a thread on this already so here goes. Let's see what you all use as their daily wear wristwatch.

Here's what I've been wearing lately. Got it in a woot.com deal a while ago:

I've been thinking of going digital for my next watch. Any suggestions?

Now that I've sold all of mine that had a date complication, I'm down to two (5513 / 114270). I purchased the one on the left, new, in 1982 and it hasn't skipped a beat since. It's been underwater in something like 18 countries around the world at this point - I used to pay the bills by snapping underwater photos:

I have not worn a watch in years. The phone does that now. But before that, I would freak when I did not have a watch. I needed the second count while in the military to do pulse counts. So if I needed that type of thing now I would most likely wear one again.

I wanted a Tag as long as I could remember growing up and the first year that I did well for myself (over 10 years ago) I bought a few childhood dreams: A Supra, A Typhoon and this watch. All cash. Other than changing batteries I've never had a single problem with it and if I even have children it will be my son's watch someday.

Yeah, I put a lot of blood sweat & tears into it. It ran 0-60 in 2.7 seconds & 11 second 1/4 mile on pump gas, all season factory tires & 4,200lbs W/me in it. On top of all that it had an engine you could eat off of it was so clean. What a fun toy that was.

I was kidding. I know what they are. I lost MANY a night's sleep dreaming about owning one when I was a kid. When I finally got one I thought it was the most amazing thing ever. I'm guessing we're about the same age if we both wanted something like that when we were kids. I doubt people younger than us would get it but those things were the epitome of cool back then.

Water ruined my Seiko while rafting in 2004.
Went to K-Mart with a discount coupon and they were having a sale.
This truly was a $10 watch after sale price, coupon, and taxes.
It has been keeping good time with 2 battery changes for over 8 years and has the big numbers, day, and date that I need.

This is an older Timex I got from Cabela's when they were having an online blowout with some other stuff I ordered. I think it was about $15, wifey got me the band in Steamboat Springs (NOT $15 ;-=).
This watch has countdown timer, chronograph, alarm, dual time zones and Indiglo back light. I have other more costly watches, but I always come back to this one.25673

I've had this Seiko for over 25 years ... and one very much like it (only with a white face, not gold) for like a decade before that (but it got taken from me by a punk with a .25 long long ago).

(not actually mine, but mine looks just like it).


Next watch I buy will be an Eco Drive ... tired of buying batteries.

An 114270 on the wrist today - understated enough not to draw attention:

You are going to have to wait for someone to start that thread.

Normaly this, but alternate between this, a Luminox Recon and a Tutima Grand Chronograph.

No but its big enough. That cap is for waterproofing. I also have a FlightDeck which is even bigger.
