Watches

[earplug]

I have worn a JJ enerjjetic for the last eight years. Its a self energising electric watch. Needs no battery.
Early on I dunked it cleaning fish. It fogged up but kept on working. Since then it has needed nothing but a new wrist band.
I have cleaned alot of fish in the past eight years. Recoil keeps it charged up.

Wow, I guess I didn't know what I was up against when I opened a thread on watches, some of you guys are high rollers, with your rolexs', here I am excited for my new $35 Timex lol.

Don't be impressed with Rolex. I've had this one 17 years. It's been to the factory twice for service @ $500.00 a pop and is, has been and appears will always be +/- 2 to 5 min/24hr. It needs to go back again, but as I've rarely worn it since getting the TAG in 2005, I'm in no hurry.


Rolex are great jewelry but not so great time pieces. I'd recommend a TAG, Omega or Seiko automatic if one wants a serious and accurate automatic.

The Chase-Durer is a good quartz watch, but they use a proprietary battery you can only have installed by them (can't buy them), and that's really too much of a chore for me to undertake every 10-11 months.

When I have the opportunity to get another watch, I'd like to get another Omega Speedmaster (lost mine), or the Grand Seiko.

For everyday wear, I've never found a watch better than the Seikos I currently have. I'm too technologically challenged to master multi function. It's about all I can do to set the date when the month has less than 31 days...

Bummer dude, you got a lemon. I bought mine brand new almost 32 years ago and it's still doing great:

Casio Pathfinder PAW2000T-7CR - slimmest member of the pathfinders, which are big watches. Titanium band. Has the usual timers, barometer, compass, altimeter, plus atomic clock, solar (no battery changes again!), and good protection from the elements and shock: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-PAW2000T...pd_sbs_watch_4

I own alot of watches (more watches than guns), but when it comes down to it I wear one of my omega sea masters, or a tag, Automatic all the way, I seem to kill the battery operated ones so I gave up on them.

I'm really rough on watches. I kill all of mine within a year or so- they either drown, get the crystal scratched/broken, or simply give up the ghost. I hate metal bands. Any suggestions? (besides 'don't wear a watch.')

timex are just as effective and replaceable

Same here, I'd need some sort of in pocket type piece or another alternative. Have actually gone without a watch or time piece at all for the past 2 years now and it really hasn't been too much of an issue but there are occasions where conforming to someone else's time frame parameters could potentially lead to more business. Time piece suggestions for this sort of situation anyone?

I haven't worn a watch in 12 years. I use the modern pocket watch. Aka cell phone
