What watch do you wear?

Zenith Captain de luxe. This one is an absolutely outstanding chronometer movement put into one ugly watch case.

JDM Citizen model PMD56-2951 in what my fiancé calls "Starbucks green". Radio reception of the Japanese atomic clock signal isn't available here in the U.S. but I read that I can go to a certain website, and by holding a pair of headphones up to the watch, it will set the time. Monstrous lume on this little guy.

Just got this monster in the mail and I am loving it. It's a Reactor Trident which uses tritium and Super-LumiNova to light in near dark, twilight, and full dark.

The last picture shows the Super-LumiNova charged which is bright enough to see in a lit room and then once the charge dies it has orange tritium at the 12:00 and green at the 3,6,9, and on the hour and minute hands.

Suunto Core Alu !!!

Damasko DA36. The most legible watch I have for my aging eyes. The stainless, nickle free watch case is through tempered (not case hardened) to 60 HRC. Anti-magnetic, viton gaskets, permanently lubed crown, AR coated sapphire crystal. Pretty bomb proof.

Added a compass...

Thought about that myself, how does it wear/feel and what purposes does it tend to have?

I don't notice it at all.

It tells me where magnetic north is.

What use does it have in everyday life? I've thought about adding one to my watch at some point for a month or so but I haven't been able to justify it quite yet.

Oh... It looks cool.

I found it's better placed on the strap where it's on the underside of wrist so the watch case doesn't effect the needle.

Or you can use your watch itself as a compass.

Why not go with a wrist cuff then? You could rig the compass, a lighter, AA coins or something else to it.

Not a fan of wrist cuffs... I've worn them too many times. I told the cop they were too tight. He says they're a new pair and I need to break them in.
