What watch do you wear?

[CanoeStream]

My timepiece is on my Firefox browser.

Retired -- didn't wear one for 30 years -- too much handwashing in healthcare. Got out of the habit.

But what's your REI number?! Ours is 466***. Once met a woman with 12**! I think low numbers should get a discount.

The last watch I wore (and still do when I do wear a watch) is a Movado Sapphire. Mine's about 20 years old and while the exact band style is no longer available - this one is very similar. A typical (requisite?) "designer watch" for sure - LOVE it! Black on black, clean lines, simple, contemporary a classic before it's time - just like Airstreams!

Now I usually just use my iPhone...

I've had the same expensive (to me) watch for twenty five years. It does not miss a beat but....... all it does is tell time! The lost opportunity cost of the purchase price over twenty five years makes me want to gag!!!! I know hindsight is 20/20!

[SilverHoot]

Timex, but only to time my runs.

That always drives me a little batty in northern Arizona: The state does not do daylight savings, but the Navajo reservation does. (Or is it the other way around?) I just give up and look at the sky.

Yeah, alot of my family lives in AZ...I never know when it's too early or too late to call! I know they don't do the daylight savings - so the reservation must...

I have a variety of Timex watches. One is an Ironman USB Datalink, that will transfer contacts, appointments, and contact info from my Windows computer's Outlook via a USB connection. I also have a couple of chronometers, a pocket watch, and a perpetual calendar gold wristwatch.

I work about 5 miles from the Timex factory outlet/repair center. If a Timex needs a battery or band, I take it to the factory repair center. Much cheaper than doing it myself. That's why I have a collection, though. I look through the choices for $20 and less.

I've been humming that ever since I started reading this thread.

[Distantdrummer]

I've never judged a man on what watch he might be wearing, Nor what brand of trailer he owns, I have always been most impressed with his thread count. or should I say Post count.
I used to wish I had a TAG Heuer but then it dawned on me...for what? I never met a guy who actually got paid...or laid...based on which watch he wore. But I did know a guy who got waylayed (and nearly died) for his Rolex.

Not quite, ..maybe no battery but every couple of years they need a new CAPACITOR = $45.00 + New gasket set = $18.00. I am told the capacitor is an after-market (that Citizen does not make their own any longer). That's why my handsome Citizen Eco Drive lives in the drawer (probably forever more).

Gone back to an old Longines tanker wind-up for dress now.

Dead solid right on well stated Lynn. Common sense statement and common sense choice. However.......
My favorite watch of all time is my old Timex analog-Indiglo. But alas NO one will work on it. They say Timex has NO follow up support with parts etc after a few years.
I have toted it to many many shops and no one has any answers. I used to spend way too much time trying to find a duplicate on ebay , never with any success.

Wearin' a Fossil for ev'day use.

2005 Rolex Submariner, which needs to be fixed; the crown broke. Sherri gave it to me as a birthday present, before she died.

Timex Expedition Indiglo, in the meantime.

Citizen uses a lithium cell that has a life span of 18-20 years. We also have a 5 year warrenty on the inside of the watch. I've been with Citizen for 10 years and my first Eco Drive is still ticking. If yours is under warranty send it to Citizen and you will not be charged. The cost is @ $40 if it's out of warranty or someone be sides Citizen opened it up. Also a lot of times the cell just needs a charge. Pull the crown out turn it @ for a 24 hr cycle and place it under constant light for 2-3 days.

Citizen is the #1 mid priced watch in the US because of Eco Drive. We bought Bulova, Accutron in 2007. If you need more help with your watch pm me.

Another Rolex Submariner here, bought 22 years ago. Needs to be sent to Rolex for a CLA. Also a military style watch from Deluth.

They're arguing about axles again chief, better send over the mods and a couple of tubes of vulkem.

[Mike Leary]

Have not owned a watch or a alarm clock for going on 50 years. Yes, I was self-employed.

[Minnie's Mate]

I'm going to shock some people but I have 4 Mickey Mouse watches plus a Seiko with moon dial and date that my wife gave me on our first anniversary (traditional = calendar).

[ctdair]

Rolex SS/18k Daytona. Wedding Anniversary present.

Ok, this is a LITTLE off topic but related.

Why are Rolex watches so expensive? Are they better built? Two posted here about broken Rolexes.

Do they keep any better time? It the time quality better?

What is the appeal over a Timex or Citizen or XYZ

Just curious.
