Casio g-shock. It keeps accurate by connecting with the atomic clock, solar powered, and more features than I need. I've been a fan of casios since I was a teen.

As a younger man I don't habitually wear a watch. If I'm wearing a suit I wear my only and only watch.
Cell phone is more accurate anyway That is SOOOO metro-fugging-sexual. I wear a man's watch, a Seiko dive watch.

I wear an Orient USA Mako, with Zulu band. Orient is a cheaper subsidiary of Seiko from what I've been told. Mako being the cheaper equivalent of the Diver
Can't stand not wearing it.

I wear a watch to work, shopping, church, and most places. I think the only time I don't like to wear one is when we are riding our motorcycles or camping. My favorite watch is a Fossil with a light brown leather strap and silver markings. I purchased it when Mark and I were in Germany. I probably wear my white Ironman watch the most during the summer and in hot weather. I used to buy the Ironman 50 lap watch to use for marathon training and racing, but these days I mostly use it to keep track with how many times I make it around a high school track...not for how fast I am going. LOL.
I could read the time on my smart phone, but I would rather take a quick glance at my wrist that pull out my phone. My employer requires me to keep track of when and how long it takes me to do medication monitoring with each client, duration of events, travel time, how much time is spent documenting vs. time with my clients, etc. etc.

I wear one most of the time. The Casio Forester Illuminator I have looks good to me and is light weight and not a problem. They cost only about $29 so no worry about repairs etc.

I was working with a young engineer and he whipped out his TI calculator to check the time. A cell phone is only slightly less geeky. I wear a watch. On special occasions I use my Grandfather's 1909 Hamilton railroad pocket watch.

Im always reaching back in behind stuff. I have replaced 3 idle air control valves just this week on Fords. Can't deal with getting my arm hung up behind something.
Also, the band gets all grunge and smells like total ass.
Mehhhh, watches are for slackers and retired pew warmers.

I never wore a watch, do not have a cell phone, and never carry a wallet. Only thing you can shake off me is a knife, would feel naked without it.

I carry a Casio Tide Graph during the warmer months and in the fall as it tells the moon fazes as well as the tide times. I'm subject to hit the salt water on an incoming..
Can't see myself ever wearing a watch again..

Actually, the Submariner most of the time is cheaper to clean because, unless the crystal is broken, they can reuse it and still certify it after the cleaning. If you have a model that doesn't have the harder crystal, then that adds quite a bit to the cleaning price because you're buying a new one each time.

I'm rather pretty much a nut when it comes to accurate time. I collect watches. At the moment i'm wearing an old Wenger quartz chronometer they no longer make since Swatch bought them. It's a 26 jewel super accurate. I also have an automatic Wenger day date chronometer that has a Valjoux 7750 movement. Most of my watches are now quartz as I got tired of the winders and service of the automatics and the quartz keep much better time. My normal daily wearer is a Bell & Ross Marine Professional. I also have a very nice Zodiac and for dress occaisons I like my Gold & SS Rolex OysterQuartz Datejust. I did collect Brietlings,Omegas and Baume & Mercier but got rid of all my mechanicals except the Wenger. I'm just a little paranoid about accurate time. The Wenger I have on has lost 3 seconds in the last 13 months. That's pretty accurate for me. My oldest watch is a pocket watch that was one of the first stem wind watches. It's from London and was brought here by one of my ancestors who owned a shipping company out of Atlanta and he bought it on one of his trips to England. It actually still runs.

$600 to clean my Rolex. To heck with it. I got hit for $360.00 for cleaning my Ollech und Wajs, I now wear a quartz, and when it is done I shall throw it away and purchase another.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

We start every brief with a time hack from the naval observatory, so a watch is part of the uniform for me. Besides, what else would you shoot with your hands? Mr. JStuart- Still have the O&W?
