The pricing portion of the poll screwed me over!

I have two watches I wear on a regular basis; one was a shade over $225, and the other was just over $100, so I couldn’t answer that one accurately!

I have a Casio solar-powered analog “Wavecepter” (sp?) that I paid just under $100.00 for, and it gets worn the most as it’s rugged, water-proof to 30-meters, dead-on accurate, and easy to read without glasses.

My other watch which is a bit more dressy is a Pulsar (made by Seiko) gold/silver dress watch that I’ve had going on 25 years now, and it was a shade over $225.00 when I bought it at J.C. Penney’s back in the day! It still looks great and keeps very accurate time, so it gets worn at least twice a week!

While I voted Solar Analog, mine is actually by Digital and Analog:

I wore one every day since I got my first one at 8 years old. I recently started wearing a Samsung Gear S3 I have the model with Verizon LTE. My watch links to my Samsung note 8 phone but it also has it's own phone number. I can make or receive phone calls on it with or without the presence of my cell phone. If i get bored with the face, i can just download a different face. I can send, read emails and texts. It tells me how well I slept and how many steps I walked. About the only thing I have not done with it is read Sig Forum.

Reported for work one morning in a sleep-deprived state (much like many teen-agers) and someone asked me what time it was. I raised my wrist and turned it to read my watch and suddenly realized a buddy had handed me a cup of coffee. A hot cup of coffee over one's body is not a fun thing. I retired the watch - have used my cell-phone ever since!

(Note: Said cell-phone is over ten years old and still works in spite of Verizon saying it has been phased out! It also keeps perfect time, which my years of cheap wrist-watches had a hard time doing!)

Why bump a thread this old? People’s answers are likely to change. Whatever I voted before, it’s different now, but I can’t vote to reflect my wearing habits. We would have been better off with a new poll, but now that this three year old thread with eight pages of replies and hundreds of votes is bumped, it’s kind of too late.

I wear a watch all the time, sleeping, in the shower, everywhere.

Fumbling for a cell phone to see what the time is seems to me to be wasting my precious heart beats (remember, God only programmed so many into your heart).

For the last six or so months, I've been wearing a Luminox Pacific Diver, stainless case and bracelet, sapphire crystal, and it is the most accurate watch I have ever had. Only a couple or three seconds different from the clock I use on my computer after 6 months. I have no idea how long the battery lasts in these. It cost about $600 on Amazon, but Synchrony Bank gave anyone a hundred bucks if they got their Amazon only card and used it for a purchase. So, ....

I just looked at the back and it appears you gotta take the case back off to put a battery in. I'll let the jeweler who took care of my various Rolex Submariners do that when it's time (Ha! A pun! When it's time-get it?).

Notice, too, that I never said anything about the accuracy of those Subs.

Yes, most days.
I rotate them--Breitling, Bremont Special Projects AWACS, Omega Seamaster, Ball World Timer and Engineer Hydrocarbon GMT,
Hamilton Electric from 1964, Tissot, and a few others. Many were gifts.

Well I’ve upgraded in the last three years. I now switch off between an omega planet ocean and a Seiko skx007. I still wear the old Seiko from time to time.

Sometimes. Nothing to expensive, I am not they guy who wears a mortgage payment (or multiple payments) on his wrist. Wifey bought me a Caravelle Modern Gunmetal with rose gold accents for my birthday and I like it a lot.

I own a bunch of watches, almost all mechanical. The two I tend to switch between the most are my Marathon GSAR (tank that I wear to work) and the Omega Seamaster I inherited from my Father in Law.

I'm hunting for a lightly used Speedmaster, preferably with the "First and Only Watch Worn on the Moon" inscription. Wish I'd bought one a couple years back before the price started jumping up.

I have a fascination with mechanical watches. They are expensive, require maintenance, and are nowhere near as accurate as quartz, but there's just something about a collection of springs and gears that winds itself and can tell time within seconds a day...

looking for the $2.00 to $25.00 option

That was me right around the time this survey was first started three years ago.

Nowadays I wear my Citizen Navihawk A-T. Analog/digital hybrid. Definitely NOT a $2 to $25 watch. Got fed up with my 'experiment' with cheap ass made-in-the-PRC Amazon watches. Those would all break within weeks of starting their use. But some DID bust within the Amazon 30-day return period. Gee thanks for giving me the opportunity of actually getting a refund...I guess. Bought this Citizen because it was on sale for $275 at the time. Unlike my last Citizen, a Skyhawk, this one has lasted well beyond a year's worth of wear and use. Like its solar power and the atomic clock sync timekeeping. But I do hate my watch's amber color LED display; near impossible to read in normal lighting.

You neglected to have a category for those of us who like ANY kind of watch - mechanical or quartz, self-winding or manual Analogue or digital.

I have forty watches, but no digital types - ranging from a couple of hundred $$ up to five figures. I'm very partial to them all, else I wouldn't have them.
