For God's sake don't go through US customs wearing a basic Casio:

Gitmo interrogators: Casio F-91W digital watch is back pocket hanky code for "I'm a terrorist"

This item in the Guardian's coverage of the latest Wikileaks dump is not the first time I've heard that the Casio F-91W digital watch is thought to be "the sign of al-Qaida," and "a contributing factor to continued detention of prisoners by the analysts stationed at Guantánamo Bay."
But like so much revealed by Wikileaks, when stuff like this is proven out in the State Department's own pen, the absurdity levels really spike:

Briefing documents used to train staff in assessing the threat level of new detainees advise that possession of the F-91W - available online for as little as £4 - suggests the wearer has been trained in bomb making by al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
The report states: "The Casio was known to be given to the students at al-Qaida bomb-making training courses in Afghanistan at which the students received instruction in the preparation of timing devices using the watch.

I'm wearing the Breitling Chrono Colt this week.

May break out the omega next week.

I was wearing a werner flying watch on Saturday.

I had the Fossil on the week before, the fossil is my newest watch.

I haven't worn the Baume and Mercier for ages now, nor the Sekonda.

why: 'cause i like to know what time of the day it is, (roughly).

never ride up woods in it as i think it would kill my wrist in a fall and who cares what time it is when your having fun.

What: Skagen
Why: I like the look of it, it's comfy and it tells the time.

Now wearing a Triwa Kamrat - it's like a Rolex Daytona but it's red and made of plastic....

Metal strapped Casio something-or-other, had it for a five or so years, works like a charm 😀

Breil

My wife got it for my 30th. It's very nice and solid, without being expensive. It's got really cool curved glass and it's lasted twice as long as the Seiko I bought for twice as much.
