AB

wins hands down
I like that, good play on words!
When we got engaged, I took my wife out for a day in London to buy her engagement ring. she slipped off for an hour and came back with the watch as a surprise! I had shown her my 'dream' watch about two years before and she'd remembered the exact model and planned for some time to do this.

Romance is still alive although neither of us are quite so well heeled these days! Houses, kids, maternity leave etc.....

Present from someone in America, so the radio-synchro bit doesn't work, but lovely watch that accompanies me on rides. Never wear a watch normally, just can't get used to one on my wrist. I look at my phone or a clock. Very useful on rides tho - especially a G-Shock.

Bombproof, solar powered through the face, so no mechanical auto winding parts to fail. will run for 6months with absolutely no light. 300m WR. Not stupidly large. If this was shock resistant it would be my perfect watch.

Got this a year and a half ago, although almost went for Redthunder's. It's been on my wrist ever since. Automatic so no batteries needed, but does loose a couple of minutes every few months. It's been diving, mountain biking, canyoning etc. etc. and not a scratch...

PS My last watches: Kahuna, Animal etc. have only ever lasted me a not much more than a year as they seem to stop working 🙁

Bought for my 21st by my (now) wife. Needs a new strap so I am now using this with a brown leather strap for day-to-day:

but I'm waiting for this as a late xmas present.

will certainly cary on wearing the cheapo one for active stuff as I have a habit of breaking watches when biking/canoeing etc.

Another hairy wrist:

Never really worn watches, but got this last Jan.

Tissot T-Touch Titanium. Simple, compact, I like it. It's looking a bit scuffed actually but as it's when biking, digging and mechanicing i'm happy it's survived a year!!

Circa £350

I had one of them, was very happy with until the hands started doing their own thing and stopped syncing with the digital display. Most watch repairers wouldn't touch as its not economical to fix. Tissot wanted over £150 to fix it! If anything goes wrong with a T-touch, all the internal mechanism has to be replaced due to it not being serviceable.
I didn't bother...

peajay, my Seamaster started losing time like yours and gradually got worse.

A service sorted it out and it's been fine since (18 months or so).

I only wear a watch at work now (£10 Casio), I'd rather waste my money on my bikes than wrist jewelery 🙂

My dad gave me this as a birthday present. He bought it when he was 21 in the forces. Where do people get there seamasters serviced as it needs some work?

Early 90s Tag Formula One. It was a present for my 21st - [s]just a couple of weeks[/s] 16 years ago. It's been worn daily, had five straps and I love it.
My mother was appalled that I could spend (relatively, compared to some of the ones on here) such a lot of money on a plastic watch!

So it has only really cost a tenner a year or so - dead cheap really 🙂

So far, apart from geetee1972's IWC, it's the cheapo watches that are winning, on the style front!

Just my opinion, but some of the bulky spensive ones are awful. Really vulgar.

A mate's dad, who has a [b]lot[/b] of money, has one of those simple cheap Casios like Fozzie posted. He bought it in an airport because he needed a watch, and loved it. He now has it on a spensive leather strap that cost several times more than the watch!
