What watch do you wear?

Cartier Gold and Steel Roadster automatic, nestled among two Hinderer XM-18's, a small 3" and larger 3.5" CF (which you wouldn't know based on the odd perspective).

Hi!

Since I got a few questions about the Invicta pictured above on the Mission, here's a more detailed shot of it's dial. It's an Invicta Subaqua Noma IV with Swiss Selitta SW200 automatic movement and 500m WR. Great diver at a budget price!

I've owned many watches of exceptional quality. I sold them all and now only wear G-SHOK watches.

Same here. If it doesn't keep atomic time, recharge from the sun and last virtually forever I don't care about it. My Rolex, Omega IWC etc are for my grandson to inherit. I'm sick of trying
to find someone trustworthy to work on my automatics.

I'm wearing my little Citizen eco-drive this week. I had to send it in to have the power cell replaced and I just got it back.

Normally I like to wear mechanical watches during the week, but I have a problem with them on weekends. I do a lot of activities on weekends, such as working on cars, where I don't want to wear my good mechanical watches and sometimes I don't wear them enough to keep them running. So I bought a couple of quartz watches for weekend wear, such as this Citizen and this Luminox.

I thought the eco-drive would be great because it would always be running when I was ready for it and I wouldn't have to worry about dead batteries. But I discovered that the eco-drive technology is not perfect and requries that the watch receive fairly constant exposure to light. Even though they advertise a long battery capacity I've found that you can't store it in a drawer, it still needs some light to keep it going. I bought mine used and I figure before it reached 5 years old its battery failed and it needed a new one. Three weeks and $88 later I got it back. In contrast the battery in that Luminox will last approximately the same amount of time, but I can buy the battery in the local drug store and change it myself. But I really like the styling of this ecodrive so I'm going to keep it and wear it occasionally.

As of recently I've ventured into the world of automatics with my Seiko 5. Still very new and I haven't really kept up with the accuracy as much as I should have. I like the aesthetics of it. It's not too dressy, but looks good to my eye, for an everyday sort of piece anyway. Then again I've got slightly off-beat taste.

Mostly this one

And this one

And my beater - this is the only G-Shock I've had that still calls to me. Don't get me wrong, I love G-Shocks and have had my share but this one is just about perfect for me.

A Seiko automatic day date chronograph from the late 60s bought while in the military.$35.00 new I just put it in the shop for cleaning/repair of worn parts and adjustment, quoted almost $300 for service about 7 days ago!
 
A Seiko Kinetic that I bought new in 2003. Sent it off for it's first service about a month ago and it's good as new again.

Have a Citizen Eco Drive from 2008 and a Movado from 2010
