Haven't had a watch for years, probably about the same time mobiles became more popular.
Also not a good idea to wear one in my trade when working, PITA TBH.
Got one on my HRM, which is currently an hour out, but later on in the year it'll be bob on.
Sea Dweller 16600 - it's a bit battered now, but to be honest I prefer it that way.

I don't wear a watch. They just stop when I do so I gave up wearing them. Mechanical, digital, wrist watch . pocket watch. cheap, expensive they all stop.
😆Presumably they give up arguing with you about what time it is.
Currently wearing a G shock for daily beater duties but alternate between my Seiko Monster and Rotary Aquaspeed depending on my mood!!
i don't wear one on my wrist and haven't since i started working in mental health and had several broken whilst 'restraining' patients. now i only wear a watch to special occasions.

Rado for everything except biking.
Bought in las Vegas whilst very drunk on honeymoon. Hsbc phoned me just after the transaction to test my card hadn't been compromised!
Timex titanium thing I bought off here for biking just. it's got one if those light up faces 🙂
rip curl tidemaster.
+1.
Panerai PAM299 today...
wearing an indestructable garish Mambo watch at present, bought as a temporary fill in while my animal got fixed, outlived that piece of crap by years! also have a nice Fossil which came with a strap which disintegrated within 12 months so its sitting in a draw till i find a suitable replacement. Posh occasions and work call for the Swiss Railways watch. I love its simplicity.

A cheap kahuna thing from Argos, I like it...someone once told me "its like a mans watch, but more feminine". Has a reasonable waterproofness, and has a metal bracelet so don't have to worry about it getting damaged. The battery died after 2 years so I went to Timpson who do the buy one battery and we'll replace it for free thing (and keep the seals waterproof and stuff when fitting).
Well...at least thats what I would be wearing if I could remember where I left the bloody thing!
Omega seamaster.
There's also a seiko auto relay, rotary chronograph and a seiko
Panerai PAM299 today...
Oooh you bastard. Gizzit.
Am I the only one with a Swiss Army Watch ? I like it cos I didn't want a delicate girly watch and it is tough for outdoorsy stuff but doesn't look too sporty so can wear it out too.
I have loads of others for running, and those odd occasions when I care about my heart rate. And my dad's gold swiss watch he got given for his 21st which I inherited. I keep it running but don't really wear it.
And, why are women's watches so different from mens ?? Our wrists aren't that much smaller.
Polar HRM (CS300)
I have a Seiko - no idea of model - given to me for my 21st birthday. Bracelet needs to be repaired.
None, i stopped wearing watches and jewellery about 2 years ago 😕
On my wrist right now I have my regular watch: a 60-year-old Rolex Oyster Perpetual. Nice and understated, with a leather strap.
I have a £9 Timex for riding and sailing. Holidays too because it has a time zone function.
nokia mobile phone absolutely fail to see the need to own one or why there are so many threads on them.
I wear a Swatch because it is reasonably cheep and very light.

100!
I used to wear my Omega Planet Ocean on my bikes but have decided something a bit cheaper would be better in case it gets smashed so got one of these:

what is that?
Nixon, the Professional
Rolex Sub No-Date. Cos it makes me smile each time I look at it.
Plus unless you know your watches, it doesn't look like a ' bling' Rolex.
Have Seiko Flightmaster Kinetic for ute duties and Citizen Eco Drive Tough/G Shock for property knocking around.
Schwarz
Retro, innit.

Who's a happy little bunny then? Bringer of light and all things positive. Have a good day Junky. 😉
Accurist bought for my 19th birthday - nothing overly special but it's lasted almost 15yrs so far and just needs a new battery every few years.
I've also got a Storm watch that devours a battery every 6 months or so & a cheap Timex Ironman digital watch which is currently residing in a 'moving' box somewhere. Just need to dig it out.
I normally wear a Tissot chronograph thingy. Mainly because it looks nice and I can now make the perfect boiled egg.:)
a classic casio. with cheesey strap.
What - Omega Seamaster:

Why - My wife bought it for my 30th birthday and it hasn't been off my wrist much since. Oh and I'd secretly like to be James Bond....
[img]

because I rode in.

if I'm in the car.
I have a Tag Heuer Calibre something or other which is for 'best'. Gift from the wife. Don't wear a watch any other time.
Just replaced my old G-shock from the 1980's, with this one. Styling is very close to my original one, but has a few more features!

If this lasts as long as my old one, it should seem me through to my next life 😉
Now one of these as I'm going for a ride.

Totally agree - hence mine. Which gets used for everything, including DH. Though I did take it off when I did some plastering recently.
I usually wear a 1970's Enicar Ocean Pearl (a proper one with a waterproof case) that cost £30 off ebay. My grandad paid for it as a birthday present a week before he passed away four years ago.
I also have a Rolex oysterdate from 1958, the build quality is in a different league to the Enicar but I prefer the cheap watch. The enicar has a nicer face, it is automatic and with a good quality strap it looks good.
This one.....Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean

better idea... 🙄

Another G-Shock here.
In millions of years time, when mankind has long since gone the same way as the dinosaurs. After our inevitable apocalyptic end, an alien space ship will alight on planet earth.
After extensive searching they will conclude that the now boiling hot, inhospitable place is populated entirely by a species known as Casio G-Shock as they'll be the only things left. They'll all probably still be working too 😀
Citizen Promaster divers. Titanium, automatic movement, just about indestructible, and was only about £80. It rarely leaves my wrist, although when I run/jog it gets swapped for a Forerunner.

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

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

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.

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.
