Sorry for the necro reply but I have to laugh the Casio digital watch is the most used timer for IED's according to some reports...

Had an Omega Speedmaster, inherited, but gave it to my son. Wearing my old Seiko, and keeps every bit as good of time :-)

I wear a Storm watch. I have no idea what the model is called, and I haven't been able to find any pictures of it online, so here's a picture I took with my phone.

The last watch I had, I got when I was about 10. It was one of these:

I don't wear a watch. :/ Have to change that in the future.

I haven't wore a watch since High school. I had to get one of the musical ones; a Taz watch that played the Looney toons theme. Not sure where it's at now, but I never went a day without it!

My watch - Seiko Sapphire Titanium.

Fun fact - it was my fathers, and my mother gave it to me after he died of cancer 5 years ago. Changed batteries only 1 time so far.

Certainly looks nice but I'm not sure I fully get it. Is it made in Russia? Does it actually include parts or materials from old Russian Ekranoplans?

Anyway, my favorite watch was my old Braun wristwatch, which looked much like this: http://www.braun-clocks.com/watch/BN0021BKBKG - it was dependable as hell and lasted me through several seasons of field work. Sadly it gave up the ghost several years ago; I still miss it...

Buy a Timex, those things will outlast you pretty much every time. I've lost a few of them, but never had to give one up because it stopped working.

Hell, my first Timex literally broke my arm without becoming damaged.
Back home I have a Seiko and an old school pocket watch that belonged to my great, great grandfather. Beautiful case although not the most accurate time piece ever made.

I bought the Kisai Rogue from Tokyoflash.com. It is by far one of the coolest watches I've ever owned. One day I'll also get some of their other ones too.


I don't have a photo of it on my computer, so here's the link to the page.

I think the next one I will get is going to be the pocket watch version.

My brother got my fathers other watch, which was a pocket watch first belonged to my great-grandfather. The chain on it is even older and is part of the national dress (which he also uses), the clock itself works perfectly still, though the ticking is very loud.

For just a normal everyday watch, the Timex watches are good and tough. I've owned a few over the years, but as I mentioned those all got lost. The one I'm wearing as I type this is probably at least a decade old.

Seiko is really nice when you want a watch for fancy occasions though, they are however quite expensive.
The main downside to watches like that is getting them repaired. I was lucky enough to live a few miles from one of only 2 officially licensed Rolex training programs in the US. So, I got the work done for fairly cheap and it was done completely properly. The main concern I had was that they wouldn't be able to get the parts necessary to fix it.

But, they did.

My brother OTOH got a much fancier pocket watch that our great grandfather owned and it's a beautiful time piece. I was more than happy to let him have it as it's a more common one and I prefer the more basic timepiece from the early 1890s.

Yeah, I'm mostly interesting in watches for everyday use. I tend to use watch to keep track of time when I'm running, though.

But Timex has few awesome designs so I'm thinking about getting few for various occasions.

Also, I'm surprised that Timex has high rating reviews on Amazon compared to other watch manufacturers.

I'm not sure if I want to get Seiko, lol. They're really out of my price range. But thank you for recommending Timex. I truly appreciated it. Gotta save up a little bit so I can get myself a couple of Timex watches.

I've had good luck with them, I usually go with Timex Ironman Triathalon.

I think the reviews are generally good because most of the models get minimal refreshes from time to time. I've mostly worn the same model for probably 15 years. They don't seem to worry about people needing to buy a new one prematurely and focus more on quality.

The only one I've ever had go bad was the result of a botched battery swap. And that tends to only be about every 7 years or so, ultimately if you just buy a new one at that point, you're still getting a pretty good deal.

Seikos are indeed expensive, but if you know where to shop and don't mind wearing a model that's a bit old, you can get quite a deal. The one I have was originally $650, but I think I got it for closer to $150 because it was a couple years out of date. It's a beautiful watch and has a feature to let me know when it's running low on power, something that most analog watches don't have.

But yes, that's expensive, you could generally get a few cheaper watches for that and just keep spares.
