What Brand Of Watch Do You Guys Prefer?

[HillHound]

The band on my old Citizen watch broke and I'm going to use this as an excuse to buy a new one.  Looked at one of the Seiko Kinetic watches that never needs a battery or winding.  It charges it's own battery off the normal movement of your arm and supposedly is real dependable.  Cost about $300 give or take depending on the details.  Anyone have one?

 

I trust you guys' opinions over the sales clerks at the local stores!! ;)  

 

What kinds of wristwatches do you guys prefer??  And any bad experiences with certain brands??

I really like Omega watches.  Good designs and I have never heard anything bad about them, except for the high prices.  I have what has been a really good watch now that I wear all of the time, but I can't spell the name of it or say it cause it is all in Russian.  It is a cool watched, produced at what used to be a Soviet military/KGB watch/equipment plant.  It is a production replica KGB officers watch (I like to collect cool Cold War Soviet/American stuff).  Self-winding an all, keeps great time, and like all Soviet stuff is quite reliable/duriable.  Omegas are great but are usually 600+ to in the thousands.  Just like Rolexs, my poppi has one that he has has for over 50 years, but again they are expensive.  But great watches.

My truck has a clock in it. My pager has a clock in it. My computer has a clock in it... etc.... Don't need a watch.

As fast as I rip them off my wrists I get the cheapest digital ones I can find.  Lately I've taken to keeping them in my pocket so that doesn't happen.  I should say that since I've gotten a cellphone though I use it to tell the time most often now.

I bought a Citizen Eco-Drive 5 years ago.  It's never needed a battery (solar cell face).  It's never lost time.  It hasn't suffered the usual "failure due to abuse" that all of my other watches died of.  It even looks good.  It wasn't cheap, but someday when I decide to replace it, I'm getting another.

I had a Timex watch for about two years.  Real nice silver watch, worked great.  But, one of the pins in the band bent two weeks ago.  I've yet to get it fixed, I think I'll just get a new watch eventually.  But, like you guys said, I've got a cell phone w/ the time, computer clock, clock on the wall, etc....

 

But, dangit, I still keep looking at my wrist for the time.

Because I tend to abuse watches and can't wear them when I work, I've been buying inexpensive Casio watches lately.  When they get too beat up from being in my pocket too much, I just throw them away and buy another one.

I don't have a particular favorite.  I just get what I like.  I do have a casio that is a pocket watch (military style) that I love, I wear it when I'm working so I don't have to worry about ripping one off my wrist.

[CMNTMXR81]

I've got about 8 watches, I'm really do not have a preference.

 

Got a couple Timex's, an Armitron, a Tag Huer, a Swatch, and two from Chevrolet (whomever makes them).

I have a Timex Expedition right now and I really like it.  It's gone through he!! and back and keeps on working.  It still doesn't leak underwater, and it keeps great time.  ($25-30 bucks at Walmart)

I get the cheapest digital watch with indiglo (rather the ripoff version) for everyday wear.  I have a pulsar with all these little dials that do all this cool little stuff.  However its batteries are dead now, I guess from all these little dials taht do all this cool little stuff.

I don't where a watch but I've heard that fossil are really good watches.
