Do You Wear a Wrist Watch Login/Join

Twenty years ago, maybe a bit more, my wife wanted to give me a nice watch for my birthday. She decided on a Rolex. I did not want an expensive one, so just a plain stainless model, no frills, just a simple face with time and date.

I don't wear it on work days, don't want to get it scratched up.

My work day watches are an inexpensive Casio and a Timex.

Yes, I do. I like to have a good watch, but I do not have more than one at a time and I have no aching desire for an expensive one. I have had a black Luminox with steel band and a blue dial for the last 3 years or so.

I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to things like watches. I'm still wearing the $50 Seiko that I bought 20+ years ago. Just swap in a new battery every now and then and it's good to go.

I wear my Apple Watch to work since it auto unlocks my MacBook. I wear a cheap timex digital while I'm on duty at the rescue squad. Outside of those timeframes, it's hit or miss if I wear one.

I do have a nice Citizen I got from The SIGForum Jeweler (Thanks, Dave) but since I retired I don't wear it.

Never really got into wearing watches as my jobs usually involved high voltage or rotating mechanical devices, or both and it was unwise to wear any jewelry, including (perhaps especially) rings.

My daily watch is a Citizen Skyhawk Blue Angels Edition in Titanium. It's an analog/digital combo with radio syncing. Best watch I've ever had.

I wear cheap digital watches that cost $20 or less on my left wrist with face on the inside. I break watches a lot at work. I am fond of the big face watches as they hurt people if I need to box someone’s head during work, the watch does extra.



Not minority enough!

I have a G-8000 reverse face I wear about as much.

Started wearing a watch daily about about 8yrs ago when I got into outdoor sports; my daily is still a Seiko Orange Monster has a few scratches but reliable and larger face is easy to read in low-light.

24/7 here. I've owned 4 watches since 1973 and they all have been Seiko's. My current one is solar and I love the fact that I don't have to deal with batteries any more.

I wear the Citizen titanium watch our very own timekeeper had a blow out sale on Fall of 2016.

Wear it all the time, even when sleeping.

I wear mine at all times except when I'm in the shower. I don't like having to pull out my cell to see the time. Watches are strictly utilitarian to me, so I wear a Casio G-Shock that synchronizes every day with the atomic clock so it is exactly accurate.

A pinched nerve in my neck caused nerve damage in my left hand and wrist so I don't like the way a watch feels anymore. I don't want to wear one on my right hand, either.

I used to wear one all the time, even while showering and sleeping. Now, I just put one on when I leave the house.

My two everyday watches are a Casio Sport Pathfinder PAW-1100 3043 and a Casio G-Shock GW-300 2608.

I've got a Longines and a Tag Hueur, but I rarely wear those.

GShock 5600. Takes a beating and keeps on going. Saw a special around Xmas time for $28, but usually closer to $50.

I wear a green Seiko 5 every day. If I have to dress up, I switch to an old Seiko black & gold watch.

I do wear a watch daily. At work it’s. Simple ani-digi G-Show. Otherwise it’s depends on dress, occasion, etc... most of my watches are automatic but I do have 2 quartz Seiko’s. I have watches from $80 all the way up to $7-8k. I am a watch, gun, and car guy so.....




I have a couple more that I keep in the safe. My favorite daily watches are probably my Omega Planet Ocean and my Fortis B42.

Always, Seiko kinetic I got over 20 years ago in college. It had to go back once when the movement gummed up for some reason after 10+ years of wear. Casio G shock I bought in the PX in Afghanistan for that deployment that I use to time runs (to be replaced by a high end gps/heart rate fitness watch soon)

I don't wear watches. In my work they are a snag and shock hazard. And when not working I don't want to keep track of it. But I always have a cell phone with me, and it has a clock.
