So g-shock wearers, what on earth is the difference between the G2900f-1v and the G2900-1a.

I am tempted to get one due to the tales of indestructibility.

TAG Link Calibre S – Amazing birthday present

cheap casio, do have a nice seiko somewhere but it died i keep forgetting to get it fixed

I wear a Seiko Sportura or TAG F1 for work and I’ve also a collection of other TAG’s I wear for everything else.

IWC at work (Mrs Ononeorange bought it for me and I love it)

Casio watch for £10.42 when on the bike / hitting things with a hammer.

1970s Bulova Accutron tuning fork watch. It was the first electronic watch but uses a tuning fork instead of quartz crystal. And it’s cool because it was my dad’s.

I don’t find the Sub comfortable when riding TBH. Recent experience seems to prove that wearing a cheaper watch is a good idea; I seem to be a frequent visitor to A&E!

Traser H3 Code Blue

Some kind of G-Shock:

Breitling navitimer world.

An old Animal “Surfers Against Sewage”.

Just because I liked it

Breitling Seawolf for biking,swimming,walking etc

Breitling Olympus for good.

Ti Animal one an ex bought me about 6 years ago that’s chunky, reasonably light and properly wwaterproof.

Or when not doing any sport or going to get soaked at work, a Nixon with a big leather strap.

Feel kinda naked without a watch on.

If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.

Breitling Avenger Skyland all the time except for stuff like biking, DIY etc

Casio W-86

£12 of digital wonder. 5 years old and going strong

Suunto – it’s what distinguishes my herd.

Plain black swatch with leather strap.

None – don’t often wear a watch as I’ve always got my phone with me and it shows the time.

See, this is what I don’t understand. Unless you’re one of those terminally tragic saddo’s who go everywhere with their bloody mobile clenched in their sweaty fist, to prove to everyone just how cool they are, it takes far, far longer to take a phone out of your pocket, wake it up, and look at the screen, whereas if I want the time, especially if I’m riding the bike, it takes one second to glance at the watch, two if I have to move my sleeve. What’s so difficult about that?

A bit of a rare one: Holos Lancaster

Oakley

Because I like it!

Timex Ironman of some sort. Because it is cheap, works and has the iniglo stuff that looks coool in the dark.

Titanium Citizen Eco-Drive

It’s Titanium, it’s solar powered, it looks a bit like an altimeter and its price in Goldsmiths happened to match the amount of Tesco clubcard vouchers I had to spend 😆

Suunto x-lander here…

Animal W0002, still going strong after nearly 20 years. A few battery changes mind 🙂

Panerai or a Polar

Given you can get a cheap, functional digital watch for a fiver, anything else is just jewellery for the metrosexuals.

Hamilton Khaki Field Auto

rip curl tidemaster.

bought it about 15yrs ago and its still going.

Same here, survived everything I can throw at it

Given you can get a cheap, functional digital watch for a fiver, anything else is just jewellery for the metrosexuals.

Exactly, and don’t you just love it? Will a 5 quid digital keep as good time as a more expensive radio controlled watch?

U-boat left hook when I’m not at work – it’s unusual and I like it. Seiko kinetic arctura and a decathlon heart rate monitor one plus some others.

I tell the time by the topics on here.
This one comes around every 4.45 months. By triangulating with the last appearance ‘where does your username come from’ and ‘should we split the UK’, combined with when someone last posted a video of Danny Madskills and how long RudeElfinFredBra’s latest incarnation has been on here I can be accurate to within 2 or 3 minutes.

😀

GW-3500B-1AER 😉

157 posts makes this my most popular thread. It seems STWers like talking about watches. I’ll resume my market research in 4.45 months 😉

I elected a nice Seiko over a G-shock as I’m no longer 12 years old.

Storm Hydron
