Watches

[X]

So - for the last few years I've sported a really nice fossil watch that I really liked.

yesterday, I dropped it, and it broke into about 2894 pieces. sad face.

So now, I'm in the market for a new wristwatch.

What do you all own that you love? What have you seen that you loathe?

The money isn't the biggest part for me, but I do want it to look stylish. No Rolex -- but no $3 Walmartz, either.

I'm really like some gun metal/darker stainless steel bands for whatever reason.

Ok. Carry oooooooonnnn....Carry on Carry on...Whoa ohhh oooohohohhh....

I can't help you but it's a good thread. I've been wearing a Pulsar for 9 months after my Grandpa gave it to me right before he died.

I'd love to have one of my grandpa's old watches...if nothing else for the heirloom aspect to it.

I wish I could wear a watch but my wrist flares up when I do (eczema).

I used to wear this.

This reminds me of a watch that a cousin of mine use to have -- it was a tv remote watch...that searched for the code of the TV...he use to mess with TVs in public places for kicks. The geek in me really, really wanted one. hah

I don't wear watches, but I have an older victorinox somewhere in the house. I wore that thing for years. It was my nice watch, and when I was active, I wore a cheap Timex Ironman and that thing took a serious beating and kept on ticking(pun intended).

I love the Casio Data Bank calc watch. Those are awesome.

I always thought that skeleton watches were pretty sweet, but I don't know much about them. I have a simple Bulova that I haven't worn in quite a while. I just use my phone for time.

I'm old school, I just look at my phone.

Im a huge fan of vacheron constantin. Really like the patrimony collection. Elegant looking watch but extremely expensive. Pretty much like a rolex, which I know you didn't ask for but it's a great looking watch.

since I work w/ kids, I'm looking for a really nice watch to go out in...and a cheap but nice looking watch I can wear to work...

Right now, I'm kinda liking one like this.

My favorite watch was a titanium Fossil watch. Light, strong and looked great(I think). I have a leather strapped Oakley that I got on super discount that looks cool but I don't wear watches anymore. I kinda stopped that when I got a smartphone...

My favorite watch is my uncle's Patek Phillipe pocket watch. I don't get it until I become an uncle though. Gonna pawn it and buy a condo.

Citizen Ecodrive. Solar paneled so you never have to change a battery. Mine is waterproof and titanium. I can dress it down(wear it fishing) or up(VDay dinner).

I'd recommend a Tissot. Probably a little more pricey than it seems you want to go but worth it in my opinion.

Couple links of examples(couldn't find the one I have). Mine is similar to the 3rd link.

Take Vitamin E to help with eczema.

I've had this one for a long time. I like it a lot.

I highly recommend G-shock. If you look carefully (on eBay) you can find one that looks great (many of the ones in the stores look goofy to me). They are indestructable and highly functional. Btw just for the **** of it while in the British Virgin Islands a couple of days ago I tried on an $11,000 Breitling. Thing of beauty.
