Does the cool goes to sleep thing if not worn for 4 days then wakes up to correct time.
It's a Seiko that wakes up to the correct time you say?
One on left for play, one on right for work.

one on my mobile.
1977 Rolex submariner plexi dome that's been beaten up over the years. G-shock strapped to my camelbak when I'm out on the bike.
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.
Origo Granite
Timex for work , Skagen Titanium for nice. I usually forget to change the work one though 🙄
Generally my JLC Reverso for work.
I'm wearing my niche German brand, Benarus at the moment.
"cos time is just a way that the man enslaves you man"
Holiday time is nice, when no-one expects anything of you, and you just follow your whims, stare at clouds and return home when you feel like it.
The best things I remember about my childhood
A cracked, scratched and wildly unreliable Seiko Kinetic.
Because I've always worn it since my parents bought me it for my 16th birthday, over 20 years ago. Worthless and priceless.
Oris Titan Diver..cos I like it.
Currently got on a slightly modified Seiko 'spork' - it's been beadblasted and fitted with a Di Modell Chronissimo strap to make it look even more like a Sinn.
I've also got a Seamaster 'Bond' for wearing when it's not likely to get trashed, and a few other bits and pieces lying around in my watch drawer. Quite drawn to a Hamilton in the near future - hoping my wife might take the hint around birthday time.
I've got a really basic Casio digital watch that cost under £10.
I only own a watch as I need one for work, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
What: A rolex datejust limited.
Why?: I enjoy people assuming it's fake, I enjoy being told I got ripped off.
Is it? Were you?
I used to wear a fake Tag for the exact opposite reason.
No and no

The original Seiko Auto Relay watch. £450 when new but got it on ebay for £50. Does the cool goes to sleep thing if not worn for 4 days then wakes up to correct time.
That's what I am wearing as well and likewise I bought it from ebay.
I did not wear for about 10 months last year and just left it in my drawer and then when I took it out and wore it again the watch sprang back into life and the hands moved around to the correct time.
I was quite impressed, but it did not change the date though which was a bit of a let down 😉
I'll get a G-Shock at some point, but for now, this is fine-
Ten quids worth of Casio's finest:

Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500m. Best money I have ever spent.
Just gave the son a Tag Heuer Formula 1.
Looking at buying a Tag Heuer Monaco for my 40th next year.
I like Tag Heuer.
Polar something or other.
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.
I have a few watches, but day to day its a swatch watch i got while on hols in corfu about 6 years ago, its a proper one and does the job for work.
Biking and general days off i have a G-Shock the other half got me 2 years ago, great watch. For posh days out i have a DKNY nice proper watch, rarely gets worn these days.
G-shock with tide readings as we used to live on a boat and I like to kayak, has a titanium back (pointless bling :D).
Looks chunky but subtle and hopefully everything proof.
Because I kept breaking watches!
Same as uplink here.
IWC. It was my 40th birthday present, bought in Hong Kong on the way to our "holiday of a lifetime" in NZ. I like it because very few people know what it is, unlike the average TAG / Rolex / Breitling (not to say these are not fine watches). I think it's quality without ostentation, and it has sentimental value to me due to the memories from our trip. I don't intend to buy another watch (apart from the occasional disposable).
A seiko that does all time zone wizardry. it works.
Omega Seamaster 'for best'
Casio G Shock for all manly pursuits! GRRRR!
Omega Seamaster - planet ocean. Why: Can't beat a classic watch with black face that Bond wears.
G shock for biking though.
Do like oxnop's Tag though.....hmmm
had a cheapo casio in SILVER. ooh!. but it fell off somewhere in Asda carpark 🙁

MWC G10 Tracer Tritium display. 'Cos it shows up nicely in the dark and it was fairly cheap.

Also got one of these as well: TAG Heuer Series 1000 Night Diver. Mine's as well worn as this one. Bought it in 1982 for £250. Had two batteries and a replacement face after the retaining pins broke.
Skagen titanium:

'Cos I like the look of it and how light it is.
Seiko divers. love it to bits!

Presumably they give up arguing with you about what time it is. 😉
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.

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.
