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?

Seiko Kinetic Sports 200 from many moons ago.

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.

Usually.

I have seven wristwatches, Timex Expedition analog, Casio G-Shock, Bulova 20 year work anniversary gift, two Seiko chronographs one solar powered, two Citizen watches one of which is from David Truong Karma's I won about five years ago.

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…

looking for the $2.00 to $25.00 option

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

I have several that I wear but the every day watch is a Fitbit smart watch.

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"

All other watches have been sold off...

G-Shock Tough solar digital and same for analog. 100 to 120 bucks each.

Longines Hydroconquest is with me every day.

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.

Titanium Citizen Calibre 2100 I got from our very on Dave Turong. I got it probably 8-9 years ago. Still going strong.
