, since getting a Cellphone years back, I've stopped wearing a watch.............., but this thread reminded me to check on what I had. Pocket watch from 1978, timex ticker from 1978, seiko from ?, and the old digital timer in my range bag- noticed it needs a bat. With the digital clocks in my truck, cellphone, I didn't realize I missed my watch. Till Now- GEe whiz, something to add to the Xmas list.

Benrus knock off. It was $5 clearance priced at Wal Mart about 2 months ago. I got it as a cheap replacement for the watch I cracked crawling around under a VW.

It is a midsize diver watch with a black face. No pics yet. I picked it up in Hong Kong for around $150.

Aquatech digital less than 10 bucks with a light. The watch band (Spidel) cost about as much. I regard watches as expendable as I tend to beat them up, and a cheap watch is incredibly accurate compared to mechanicals we used to wear when I was a very young child.

Who thought a digital watch with a button and tiny little LEDs was pretty cool.

Don't wear a watch. I'm retired. I look at the sun.

A Timex that I bought in Walmart several years ago for $10. Hope I can find another when this one wears out.

Well, that depends on my mood, what I'm wearing, doing, etc:
Left to right: Timex Expedition that I got for about $25 at a Wal-Mart, Swiss Army StarTech 3000 (for sale for $90!), Wenger Dive watch, Seiko Chrono/Alarm, and what I think was and is a cool looking Swatch from about 1985 or so.
End of the world watch not pictured.

The knob fell off my Luminox today
Just looked down at it and it was gone! It was there when I put it on. Now it ain't! Dang.
Buy a nice watch adn this is what happens. I'm going back to Timex.

BTW, when I said the StarTech is on sale, I didn't mean I got it on sale---I'm trying to sell it, for $90. See my post in Accessories for Sale/Trade.

Rolex GMT Master II
Sinn EZM3 auto, when skiing. Usually sits in the safe other times. This was a gift.
Omega Seamaster Professional quartz for the pistol and archery range (to prevent wear and tear on my Auto Pro from recoil/vibration effects)- more of my "everyday kick it around watch". Very accurate, gains two seconds a month.
Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer (automatic) when not shooting, or when traveling for extended periods.
Omega Speedmaster Professional ("Moonwatch")- I wear this for "formal occasions" and long plane flights. Of all the watches I have this one seems to get the most questions from people. I try to be careful with it because of the acrylic crystal.
(The Sinn and Seamasters double as impact weapons if required...)

I have a Luminox "Navy Seals" for knocking around, Sieko chrono for business. I have a dressier Seiko, but I don't hardly ever wear it anymore and the battery is dead.
