[Closed] How many watches do you own?

I own 2 -

One for going out (Smarter watch) and the other for everything else, work, gym, rides, etc (FitBit).

1

I think I've got one somewhere, but couldn't tell you where.

You want to take a look at the watches n+1 thread. there's some proper geeks on there.
4 for me,

Lezyne GPS watch
Seiko quartz with stopwatch function
Russian paratrooper wind-up watch
Tag Heuer best watch, new to me, worn most because it's the nicest

Apple Watch which I use as a tool
Omega sea master which is my real analog watch.

Seiko 5 dress watch, automatic with day/date, brushed stainless steel case and strap.

Seiko SKX007 diver, automatic with day/date, on a NATO strap, also have the steel strap (and rubber strap I think)

Seiko Sportsmaster dress watch from the '60s, automatic with day/date, black leather strap

Octagonal-faced Raketa dress watch, manual with day/date (day in Cyrillic alphabet), on a black leather strap

Circular-faced Raketa dress watch, manual, on a brown leather strap

Casio F91-W indestructo-digital

And always on the look out for more, especially cool old Seikos

4
A smart TAG Heuer for posh wear.
A Vivoactive to record my foot based activities.
A Casio to wear on the bike and less posh than the TAG.
A battered old Seiko to wear when working.

None.

3 and a half same as my bikes.

I don't care what time it is.

A few, none pricey, just ones I like the look of and go with different colours/looks. 2 Swatches, 1 baby G, Rotary all-black steel watch, Seiko gold one and a Shimano diver style one.

I was gutted that I couldn't get my dad's 50s Certina serviced.

3:

My watch: a Swatch Uncle Charly skeleton automatic on a brown leather strap.
My Dad's Garrard gold quartz dress watch.
My Dad's Citizen Eco-Drive.

12 - 3 properly expensive that only get worn for occasions, 4 moderately expensive that are more office wear (e.g. Tissot racing touch, a Stowa Marine), then 2 Seiko 5s, an Akteo with a little cyclist on it, a Tissot PR100 and a Citizen Ti Eco-Drive. These get worn fairly randomly depending on mood.

Far too many...
Rolex Submariner
Doxa Sub 750t
Newmark 6BB Chrono
Precista PRS18
Precista PRS17
CWC G10
Smith's Seafire
Seiko SKX007
Seiko Solar Tuna

Seiko 7002-700J
Tag F1 Chrono
Casio Baby-G
TomTom Spark

And my very first watch that my dad got me back in the late 70's - a Services manual wind.

four-

Tag Heuer Monaco, bought for me by my wife as an engagement gift. Worn most days to work

Panerai Luminor, bought by me for me, one year when bonus was particularly good. Not worn regularly but it's a great piece of engineering to look at.

Seiko Automatic Divers watch, bought by me about fifteen years ago as an everyday go anywhere watch. It's still keeping great time and has never been serviced

Garmin Forerunner, bought by me when I was kidding myself that I needed that kind of data gathering watch to make exercise worthwile

3, I inherited all of them. One is a pocket watch 😀

Erm ..
Seiko 5 automatic
Seiko Prospex automatic
Rohan quartz
G-Shock solar/wave ceptor
Garmin Forerunner

So 5, but non are expensive. All get worn bar the Garmin. Plus a Mi Band 2, but I don't class that as a watch and wear that all the time on my other wrist.

None that work

I have my grandads old timex and several broken pocket watches. I cannot wear or carry watches - they stop within a day of me carrying them

One or two, let me think...
G-Shock - tough, solar powered beater.
Seiko Skx 009 - none too flashy auto
Tissot PR200 - 18th birthday present
Tissot PRS200 - bought with my first bonus
Tissot something else - engagement present
Tag Formula 1 GMT - bought with my first bonus at my new job
Tag Link - 30th birthday present
Chrtopher Ward something - treat to myself as I liked it and CW was cheaper then
Garmin Forerunner 35 - for running

So 9 then. At least 1 is getting sold soon as I have my eyes on something. Ew and Breitling based.

Oh yeah, of course, I also have an old pocket watch that came from, I think, my great grandfather

Not too many...

Tag Diver Automatic. Loses time, costs too much to service, sits in drawer
A Garmin GPS watch. Never used
A Suunto Stinger diver computer/watch - more computer than watch, not an everyday thing.
Seiko Pepsi Automatic - an everyday watch which I was wearing until I got...
An Apple Watch - used everyday.

You can take a magnetic personality too far you know 😛

4 plus 2.
An Omega Aqua Terra, kinda dressy, currently awaiting a service.
A Tudor Heritage Chrono in blue for everyday.
A Pro-Trek ABC watch for weekend wear
A G-Shock GW5600 for occasional.

And a Garmin Forerunner that hasn't been charged in about 6 months, and a Seiko Kinetic likewise.

Old Animal watch

Another Casio one with an altimeter

A cheap Casio for work

Two Pulsar ‘dress’ watches; one chunky divers style and another slim one for wearing with shirts with snug cuffs

Scurfa Diver One
15 year old Seiko kinetic titanium beater

1980s Swatch in grey
1980s Swatch in black
1980s Pop Swatch in blue and white (what was I thinking?)
Hideous Seiko gold dress watch that my mum bought me for my 21st

Lost somewhere - 1

Casio Illuminator digital in orange

1. After zero since 2005.

5, plus a pocket watch which was a wedding gift.

1 a vivoactive, until smart watches and wearable fitness stuff it was zero, utterly pointless in the modern world 😉

I forgot..
I have a silver pocket watch on a proper "Albert" style chain. Every link and every bit of the watch are Hallmarked in 1911.
My grandfather was Lord Astor's batman in WW1, and was given this watch as a thank you present.
Works perfectly but absolutely no value. Suppose I should weigh it in.

4 - my dad's Bulova Accutron tuning fork watch (he's not dead, he's just got a Rado), Elliot Brown 50th birthday present to myself, Seiko 5 early hours internet purchase when I was doing overnight implementations than covering the day shift and Suunto Observer.

2

Both G-Shocks.

One broken, One Working.

Eight maybe more !! I keep meaning to sell a few on 🙂

2. My dad's old Lorus and a Nike sports watch which I can't find.

Omega Seamaster
Tissot Visodate
Seiko 5 auto
a big red G-Shock
Garmin Fenix 5
Laco flieger

One, a Casio. The last time I used it was to time a video in some petty squabble on this very forum. Prior to that it was when I needed to know the time (rare) but was afraid of getting my phone wet so took the watch rather than the phone.

2...

An MWC G10 - it tells the time, which is exactly the one function a watch should do

A Polar GPS watch - does the job of a bike computer when I go hiking, as well as biking, and saves me needing a mount on all 5 bikes.

Don't care about bling or anything. A watch is for telling the time.

None?

One vaguely smart analogue watch which I've not worn in 5 years or more. Don't really see any need to have a watch these days..

7, I think....

Raymond Weil Quartz - non working
Grandads Pocket Watch - in drawer
G-Shock 1 - broken
G-Shock 2 - work
Oris BC3 Automatic - everyday
Tag Heuer Monaco - best, needs service
Garmin Forerunner 35 - running, bike hrm

2

Seiko SARB017 Alpinist - daily wear and is a keeper.

A Nautilus quartz Hamilton looky likey which my wife bought me years ago and I really like but it’s fairly knackered now - wear it when riding.

Blooming loads,

Got given a Xiaomi mi3 smart watch with a new phone last week, got great battery life for a smarts, 20+ days which suits me fine.

Pebble smart watch picked up for £15 off Facebook marketplace.

Seiko Pepsi, my usual wear.

Avi-8 Hurricane which my better half bought me as a present, doesn't keep good time though.

IWC copy that by Dad bought me from somewhere Dodgy

Citizen automatics again just nice daily watch.

A Tag which is lovely but too nice to wear.

A Tudor which was my father's graduation present, love it.

Plus another 20 or so odd watches which my Father picked up over the years.

3.
Lorus --> Seiko ---> Seikoboy ---> Omega ----> vintage omega 552.

Somewhere I have an omega seamaster (not working + broken strap) I inherited

Haven’t worn a watch in 30 years, don’t like wearing them

Avi-8 - they do make me giggle, very back pages of Telegraph magazine.
Should be a great watch, but really a IWC is what you want.

Beselworld 2019 Yay! N+1
Grand Seiko please! Tudor ... oh dear, lost the plot there and it was a home run.
TOo many DIve watches.

3

An Animal watch from 97/98
Seiko
DKNY
Pulsar
Casio F91W
Casio sub £15 thing
Garmin Instinct
Skagem

I didn't think it was that many until I've listed them!

4 and I don't wear a watch.

In purchase order:
Swatch Automatic
Animal W002(?) that needs a new battery
Citizen Ecodrive Tough
Rolex Sub 14060M
Bell & Ross 123GMT
Seiko 5 SNZG13K1
Garmin Instinct.

The last 2 get 95% of wrist time.
Can see space for a limited edition Bremont though 😂

0, haven't had one since at least I got a phone in 2006, maybe earlier, can't remember.

3. 2 F91Ws (attached to handlebars), and an A158 (because I tell all my student workers that looking at their phones while on the clock is punishable by death, so I don't like looking at mine even for the time)

Oris TT Ceramic version (daily watch and probably my fave)
Bell & Ross (present for Father’s Day so have to wear it)
Breitling Super Oceon
Rolex Explorer ii
Panerai Luminor
Omega Seamaster
Swiss Army watch no idea the model.
Iwatch
Garmin Forerunner 405

Sounds like a lot of money spent when listed. But this has been over many years. I used to live / work overseas, watches were a lot cheaper. My Rolex cost me less than £3000 and the Omega was £700. The Panerai is second hand. The Oris was just over £1k, should have been £1850 but they had just stopped producing it and the price dropped.
The Breitling and the Bell & Ross are gifts from family. (Mum inherited some money and bought me the Breitling and wife bought me the Bell & Ross)
The more expensive watches never really get worn. Tends to be the Oris.

Still tempted by a Seiko Divers. Hope I don’t sound like humble brag type as I’m really not. Each watch I’ve paid for has been saved for over multiple years before I had kids. Only the Panerai is recent from the watches I’ve paid for and it took me at least 5 years to save for it, probably closer to 7 thinking about it.

I think this is all of mine:

None if we're not counting polar HRM's that only get worn for exercise, 2 if we are.

Not owned an actual watch for at least 30 years.

0, not worn one for 25+ years. The potential for having gps and mapping on my wrist tempted me into looking at an Apple Watch (but didn't appeal enough to go anywhere neat buying one).

None. Haven't owned a watch for 10+ years. Always have my phone with me so don't need anything else for telling time.

I think we did this in the watches n+1 thread. I have objectively too many but there’s always room for one more. There’s about 5 or so ‘regular watches’ - g shock, apple etc, then I have the ‘enthusiast watches’ - this is after a bit of thinning out:

Lange sohne 1815 Chrono
Fp Journe Chronometre Bleu
Patek Philippe 5711 nautilus
Rolex 5513 sub
Rolex 16613 sub
Rolex 1675 gmt
Rolex 1675/3 gmt
Rolex 1675/8 gmt
Rolex 6610 explorer
Rolex 1016 explorer
Universal Geneva polerouter
Omega vintage something or other
Grand Seiko SBGW001
Grand Seiko sbgw005

Most are on my IG @waspyone

10
Nothing worth more than £150 though.

Love the vintage explorers Jeff. Had a quick google on price and now deciding which child doesn’t need her liver and kidneys.

One.

Many but only 6 that work

An early 2000s Casio ProTrek Solar that needs repairing

A cheap Simon Carter dress watch

Suunto Core

Fossil aviator style (every day watch)

Citizen Eco-Drive Manhattan

Wenger Roadster Black Night

Citizen Eco-Drive Diver

Plus various watches that are knackered and left in the drawer

Yeah the explorers are nice. Actually some of the least pricey but still two of my favourites.

Just 3 for me.

Tag Aquaracer 500m diver for everyday
Casio G-Shock for work
1973 Omega DeVille for posh

A Swatch my mum bought me.

My dad's old watch.

A couple of G Shocks - one that's too chunky and one that's just right.

A Fitbit Blaze.

A couple of cheap Casios.

I currently have nine, but nothing fancy, none that cost more than £50 most of them were less than £20...

My most used (and useful) watch is an F-91w (casio terrorist special).

Right this moment I'm wearing an HMT pilot (franken) that cost me £8 from India...

"collecting" watches doesn't require you to throw fistful of cash at Omegas and Breitlings... (IMO)

Not a Rolex fan myself, however I did like the White faced Explorer 2 from years ago.

I’m pretty sure I could count the number of days I’ve not worn a watch since I was about 5 years old, on one hand - I feel lost without one on. I even keep a backup in my drawer at work in case I forget.

I like a nice watch, but it doesn’t need to be fancy - rocked a Casio with tv remote for years : )

Mine:
Tag Heuer f1 c1988
Tag Heuer 2000 automatic c1990
Seiko sporc
Seiko big****etic
Skaagen
Casio square g’shock solar 6 band
Casio illuminator
Garmin forerunner

“collecting” watches doesn’t require you to throw fistful of cash at Omegas and Breitlings…

I’m of the same opinion as Cookea. Some of the Omegas are lovely, but I equally like the f91 for different reasons. The one downside of my gshock is that the alarm and hourly chime, are not as loud as the f91.

3 - Casio w96, Lorus was about £10 for rugby reffing and a G-Shock that sits in a drawer unworn cos I prefer the £10 Casio.
Don’t get watch fetishists at all, though my brother is one.

casio terrorist special

Learn something new everyday! Fascinating reading up on its use.

4 including my dad's long service watch.

I wear one all the time, one very occasionally (a 35th wedding anniversary present from my wife) and the others never. Just replace the battery in one of them when it stops working.

A few.

Seiko Presage (ice blue)
Seiko Samurai Save the Ocean
Omega Seamaster 120m
Omega Constellation
Sinn 240ST
Certina Multi 8
Certina Chronolympic (1978 LCD)
Suunto Core Brushed Steel
Casio Protrek
Loads of retro Casio LCD and a Waveceptor

Twelve and counting. Well, not counting as I think thats it (for now).

Couple of cheapies for holiday/knocking about
My uncles old watch
Omega Seamaster from the year I was born
A couple of Tudors
A Bell and Ross
A Nomos for dressy occasions
A Seagull 'Nomos' homage
A ti kickstarter watch
A Pebble smar****ch (got for free as was working with Pebble on some stuff)

And my favourite, A Stela Officer.

Cough, but if the missus asks, two. Bit like the number of, ahem, bikes in the garage...

“collecting” watches doesn’t require you to throw fistful of cash at Omegas and Breitlings…

The most expensive watch in my photo above is the Seiko SPORK diver, which cost me £350, NOS, about eight years ago; the second most expensive was the black TAG Heuer Series 1000, which cost £250 in 1985. Both are starting to appreciate in value, because collectors are looking at interesting watches that don’t cost the sort of prices that the well-known makes are fetching. The Yema, third from right, is the one that’s really starting to appreciate in value now, so that one doesn’t get worn to work any more! None were ever bought with that in mind, though - they were bought just because I liked the look of them, which is the way it ought to be.

None. Haven’t owned a watch for 10+ years. Always have my phone with me so don’t need anything else for telling time.

So, how do you manage in situations where it’s impractical to take your phone out of your pocket to turn it on to check the time? I can guarantee that it’ll take you ten times longer than it’ll take me to just glance at my watch. Unless you habitually carry your watch in your hand at all times...

Haven't heard of most of these lol. I have googled a few, some really nice watches mentioned.

Rolex Thunderbird, bought it about 25 years ago
Breitling colt chrono auto, had it 20 years or so
Tag 1000 from about 1987
Casio dw290
Magrette Moana Pacific
Some form of G shock
Some cheapo Casio digital watch

Always wear a watch and feel very odd without one, think it might be a side effect of having been a surveillance operative for so long. Wear the Rolex most days to work. Of them all the g shock is my least favourite too big but was bought for when I have to do yard work. Quit fancy an omega speedmaster now.

13 watches for me.

None that work

I have my grandads old timex and several broken pocket watches. I cannot wear or carry watches – they stop within a day of me carrying them

Probably on strike/lost the will to work after you've argued that they're wrong.

I have 5 currently.

Omega Speedmaster Professional - I have worn this almost daily since I bought it

2 Nixons - one I bought when I was 19, one I bought with my first ever bonus. Both sentimental, never worn any more.

Timex - It's a nice, slightly dressier watch. The battery on this thing just goes on forever and ever. I havn't worn it in years, though.

Tsovet - A cool microbrand that offers fairly high quality quartz watches. I got this one on sale. It's got a 300m water resistance rating so it's a good holiday watch or for going out out and not wanting to wear the Speedie.
