What watch do you wear?

[Horn Dog]

I had a cheap Timex camper model, but I don't wear a watch since I retired in 2006.

 

[R.A.T.]

With me being a girl you probably don't want my opinion but guess what I'm giving it anyway! I wear a silver and gold Dale Earnhardt watch. It has been thru hell and back and still looks pretty good. It cost me around $150 about 2 years ago or so. I love it. By the way does the Swiss Army watches have any girl styles?

I have found that women typically know more about what works in the real world than men do. Of course your tastes in watches is not my own, I wouldn't give 50 cents for any piece of NASACAR gear, but that's just me. The bottom line is if it works, it works

I hate NASCAR also but I loved the watch so I got it!

Victorinox and Wenger both do I believe, Swatch has more 'urban' styles.

Yeah actually they do have "girl styles" My wife wears hers all the time.

I have a couple of Victorinox watches I love, sadly my eyes are old enough now I do Have trouble reading them at night or when driving, etc. But the Officers series takes a beating, looks good both as a dress watch and outdoors. I collect Victorinox's SAKs, so those are the watches I went with. Wenger makes a good product too, but if I didnt want to start collecting THEM too!

Most of the time now I wear a timex in the outdoors. Bright, easy to read, and doesn't look like a remote control for the Space shuttle. For work it is a Expedition pocket watch.

Always looking for a new watch, thou all of mine work, I haven't found a "current" favorite yet.

+1 for Casio G-shock. I have a GW-530a and, like the EcoDrive, it will recharge the battery when exposed to light.

I'm rock'n a Luminox Navy Seal (0ld school mod). very light, very accurate, easy to read in all conditions and just looks cool. It's around the price your looking for (if you look around) just make sure you don't get a chinese knock off

 

[texastonydobbs]

Casio G-Shock. Go on down to Walmart and pick one out. Rugged, reliable and look good.

I agree :thumbup:

I'm on the serious cheapo tip. I sport either a Timex Expedition or this other cheap ass thing I bought on a cruise ship for $3, some no name solar power watch. It's pretty cool. The Timex Expeditions ar the best as far as my money is concerned.

I dont wear a watch anymore, but money wise, those Gshocks cant be beat. Wore one for my entire enlistment in the Army.

 

[XD45]

Lots of good ideas. I would have to agree about the G-Shocks. Inexpensive and can take a hell of a beating. Here are some to look into:
G-9000MC-3

GW-5600J

GW-530A

G-2310

DW-9052

All can be had for under $100 and are a few of my favorite G's.

They have other models that have nice features too.

I have an L.L. Bean Field Watch. It's pretty basic, but extremely rugged.

im looking for a watch myself and i've been leaning toward a G-Shock AWG101-1A

 

[shotgunner11]

I had a G-shock for awhile. Some crazy guy at a campsite took a liking to it. He had alot of knives on him so I gave him the watch so he wouldn't mug me.

My favorite watch is my Seiko cronograph. Rugged, looks good and after 5 years, the battery is still kicking. The second hand sits idle most of the time unless you press a button to start it, thus it uses very little battery power. The guy at the shop said that the battery would last almost as long on the shelf as it would in the watch.

I paid about $250 for it, but recently I've seen them for about $125-$150 online.

My every day wear watch is generally a Citizen automatic divers watch, though I often wear a G-shock.
