Usually I wear my Eco-Dive Atomic, but I have a few automatics. Today I'm wearing my Alpina. I generally won't leave the house without a watch on, but rarely wear one in the house.

I always have my watch on when I leave the house.

I've worn the same Casio Titanium Pathfinder every day since 2007ish, and it's still going strong.

Currently daily wear is either a Seiko Black Monster or a 007. Have a Luminox Modern Mariner for dressier occasions.

I almost always wear a watch. At work, it’s a digital Casio G Shock. When I’m off it’s a classic Automatic Seiko Pepsi diver or my Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra. Interesting timing on this thread, I’m seriously considering selling the Omega or trading for another Omega.

My daily wear is a Marathon GSR. Very tough watch, but constantly runs fast, probably 5-6 minutes per month. Could use a cleaning I guess.

I wear a Casio Protrek if I'm out of the house, I don't really like to wear any sort of watch or jewelry at home.

I have 20+ watches in my collection. Almost all are automatic mechanical.

One watch that has been getting more wrist time is a Tissot solar T-Touch. The watch is light (titanium) with many features.

The $35 Timex Ironman from WalMart.

I've had two Eco Drives that eventually went kaput. I like the fancier watches, but can't bring myself to spending that kind of jack, although I do have a $400 Garmin triathlon watch.

I wear a $70 Casio digital that I bought several years ago at Wally World. Never take it off.

Keeps perfect time, waterproof, etc, etc.

Never had to change batteries.

The last two times I didn’t wear a watch was in 2014. One of the days we had a quadruple shooting. The other I got into a wreck.

I was ordered to never forget my watch again.

For me it’s almost always an automatic, though I have 2 quartz watches and an eco drive Citizen I’ll sometimes wear.

A Seiko Kinetic for everyday wear. A cheap Timex for vacations.

I have 43 watches, between $250 and $8000, and only six of them are quartz.

I wear them in rotation, and keep the mechanical watches wound. I appreciate them all for what they do, and how they do it.

I have no showy watches or dressy watches - they are all pretty functional, from the Marathon JSAR to the Cartier Ferrari.

THE most accurate of the mechanical watches is a 1970 Breitling Navitimer 806.

The most accurate quartz is a 1978 Seiko Divers 150.

With the advent of the smart phone you have a digital clock very accurate in your hand all the time, pretty much relegated the watch to a fashion piece for me.

I wear my iWatch during the week for casual wear, and have a nice Rolex for dress, couple of tweeners like a Luminox Black out for when I'm into that.

Otherwise no watch generally
