Do you wear a watch?

I've got a Victorinox. They're pretty darn beefy...good watch.
 
I should elaborate, my brother had the chrono model and all the chrono functions stopped working though I guess it told time. It's a fine watch, I think we just got a bad batch or perhaps that generation weren't up to par.

My family is an Omega family now, my dad got one for my brother in law and my step mom and I have one as well, and my cousin got himself a Seamaster.
 
My dad would buy me an Omega Speedmaster for my 40th but if I'm going nuts I think I'd rather have a IWC Portugese
 
Hey, it's THE WATCH THREAD. You like what you like!
 
I'd like to be in a Jaeger LeCoultre family someday.

But until that lifetime, I'm happy with Seiko.
 
The blue seamaster is my next one :). It will take a while though since every time I get a new watch for some sort of accomplishment at work, the mrs gets something of equal value. This time around it's her dream vanity table+mirror+built in lights.
my parents and relatives all have Seikos.

:(

I had one. Learned the hard way that the last clown that replaced the battery on it tore the caseback seal because he didn’t lube it properly.

Little bit of Pacific Ocean from the Molokini crater snorkel spot in Maui got in there last year and totaled it. The movement on my watch was $600 to replace. To get an all new watch would’ve been $800.
 
bringing this thread back :). take back what I said about the seamaster being my next watch, can't justify spending that much $$$. Maybe later when I can pay for both of my kids' entire college :laughing

I'm looking at field watches ~$500 for something more casual. So far the Hamilton Khaki field automatic looks good. The less expensive mechanical one looks ok.

I just wear a cheap fossil and g shock. Not one for fancy tastes or status.

Classy. Go for the mechanical rather than quartz. It takes time and you'll understand why.

Hamilton, any day. The Luminox and marathon mechanicals are also good looks for field watches. Gotta find them a pretty good discount to get them near $500 though.

Keep that Hamilton the rest of your life.
 
It’s a nice watch, but IIRC you have a Cocktail time and a more utilitarian Seiko? This Hamilton occupies some of the same space as your utilitarian Seiko, but is much more tacticool/mall ninja. I’d pass on this one and save pennies for something else.

Any ideas on what else :)? I'm open to other watches. I'm still on the fence w dive watches because I do not have a ginormous wrist. That plus a reasonably priced dive watch would mean another Seiko.
Currently I have the SARX017 (semi casual) and SDGM003 (dress watch). The SDGM003 is the max size for my small wrist.

How much do you want to spend? It’s tough if you don’t want another Seiko.
