Hello, kind of new to the board. Just wondering what everyone else is wearing. I've had a Marathon Navagator. But I want to try something else, anything. Just let me know.
Thanks for your help,
BD

I have had a Suunto Vector since they came out. I really like it. Has the altimeter, compass, barometer and of course normal watch stuff.
Has always been within 200 feet as long as it is calibrated. Only gripe I have about it is I have to change the battery about every 2 years.

Dad's 100 year old Elgin pocket watch is the only time piece I carry whilst hunting. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Stuff1/99axe.jpg)

Wenger (Swiss Knife) make a very good watch.
I like the time, date and day display.

Even considering some of the wild McSwirlies you've ordered, you're kind of a sentimental Traditionalist at heart aren't you Scot.

Should add, I've got a 100yr old Illinois watch (RR cert.) that belonged to someone's dad, but was given to me by my wife on our 5th. It keeps time when I'm in one of my all wool Filson moods. For hunting and EDC abuse I still can't seem to kill my Timex.

I have two Wenger Swiss Army watches, one all black and one not. Usually one of those. I have a Swiss Army brand watch I've used until the batteries died and I discovered it had to go back to the factory for battery replacement. Somedays its just my everyday Seiko. Went out once with my Movado my wife got me (not thinking) ... I thought Satan himself was about to devour me!!

Hey! Steely's post got me thinking. Les you could put a pocket watch in the stock of your favorite 99.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I been looking at the G-Shocks and the Suuntos. Does any body have a Luminox? If so how do they hold up. But the more I think about it my dad has had the same Timex for a few years.

My wife bought me a Luminox for Christmas '07. I don't think it has been off my arm more than 3 times in over a year. Keeps perfect time and I like the fact that I can read the dial in any light with out having to press any buttons. I don't recall the exact name of the one I have but it is the 3050 series. It has a larger dial than the standard one and is easier to see the numbers. Mine was $225, with the plastic body. They make one just like it with a stainless steel body that sells for about $300. I could have gotten it but the plastic was so light on my arm I decided I liked it better.

Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I wear a Tag Heuer F1 Chrono, or Citizen Titanium Nitehawk.
The Nitehawk Ti is an extremely light watch, for the size.
