Do You Wear a Wrist Watch Login/Join

By education and trade, I'm a mechanical engineer/manufacturing factory rat so I am drawn to "things mechanical" such as watches and cars. I have a modest collection of auto mechanicals:
-Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean
-Breitling Cross Wind
-Two Baume & Mercier "Capelands" (one is titanium and rose gold which I use as a dress watch)
-Tag Carrera

Also have a couple battery-powered watches that seem to eat batteries like I eat ice cream. I rotate between the mechanicals but my favorite is the Omega.

Would someday like to have a Panarei chrono but the price is well beyond my gag point.

I wear a middle-of-the-road G-Shock (3900 I think?) and love it. I use the timer, stopwatch, and alarm constantly. Only time I take it off is when working out because I've had it bind my wrist joint during movements like cleans & front squats.

I've had it for over 5 years, haven't replaced the battery, and have put it through some abuse with no issues. The buttons all work as well as they did the day I bought it & the glass is clear & scratch-free. The case has its share of gouges & missing paint, but I like the look.

I think it's a generational thing. I know my iphone has the time and day. But I still like to wear a watch.

I wear a Ball too from that watch-monger among us, David. I also got a couple of Citizens from him that are solar operated.

I have a reactor mechanical divers watch.

And lastly, I have a Seiko battery watch that my Dad owned.

But now, I'm seriously considering why do I have all these?



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Another Casio solar atomic G-Shock wearer. Sometimes getting the phone out might be impossible/inconvenient.

I love the idea of a watch but between working around the property and not being able to wear one at work I've not worn one for 20 years or more. Now I can't stand the feel of any kind of jewelry on me so I doubt I'll ever have a watch.

I have a wat h on whenever I'm not asleep or in the shower, and sometimes then, too. Mostly my uncle's Omega Seamaster Pro but I also have a Luminox quartz, an Ecodrive, a Seiko quartz, and a few other cheapies.

Always (typically not while sleeping). Rolex Sea Dweller. If I divide what it cost by the 19 years that I’ve been wearing it, not too bad of a deal for it. Will sometimes switch to a G-Shock for heavy yard work/chainsaws.

Back in my Navy days I always wore a watch. Once I retired I stopped wearing one for a few years. I can't wear any jewelry/watches at work but I occasionally wear a watch on my days off if I am keeping a schedule that day.

When I do wear a watch it is my eco-drive that David karmaed me.

Daily.
Citizen EcoDrive Satellite Wave
Gift from my wife, sourced from Dave Truong.

Before the Citizen, it was a Movado Fiero with a tungsten case/band.

A cheap Timex Ironman was my cycling watch, attempted to change the battery & it no longer functions properly.

I stopped wearing a watch about 20 years ago. I had grown used to using my phone to get the time. Then, about a year ago I was looking at all my watches and decided to start wearing one again. I’ve found I really enjoy being able to quickly see the time with a flick of the wrist rather than having to pull my phone out and turning it on.

I generally wear a Citizen ECO Promaster Titanium while I’m working and a nice Ball for dressier occasions. However, lately, I’m wearing my new Luminox that David made available to the SIGforum members…

No, not since I retired. I lived by the clock for 40 years and choose not to do so any more.

My every day watch is my Rolex Submariner, I have an Everest rubber strap on it - really like it (I've had the Rubber B strap before and I liked that one also).

I still have a G Shock Rangeman for "range use" Wink

All other watches have been sold off...

When I retired (the second, and last, time) I took off my watch and I've not worn one since (Dec 2006). There are clocks in my house, car, and camera, and also on the screens of my computers. I don't need a watch.
