Watch suggestions

[GOST]

Watches look cool but I'm with MoxyDave on this one. My Tag has been retired for the phone in the pocket and a Motorola XTS 5000 at work.

I tried the phone route for a while, but would catch myself looking at my blank wrist occasionally if I didn't have my phone on me. This was still happening after about 3 years.
Finally caved and now I have a Suunto Core that stays on me 24/7.

Dave doesn't like anything he can't 3D print.... at least yet.

Haha yeah it's just a matter of time

Interesting responses, thanks guys. I figured it was kind of a fashion thing ...

Just be careful to consider that watches like Omega need regular tune-ups to the tune of ~$300 otherwise they will stop working, like the speedmaster I have sitting waiting for the funds to repair, something like $800. I have gone back to wearing my Casio Pathfinder PAG 80. Not stylish but takes a beating

Omega takes care of some folks depending on what they've bought and how they bought it. I don't pay for maintenance/parts, which is a nice bonus. That said, I don't wear it when I deploy/on the a boat, only when I'm home.

I'm into micro brands of dive watches, so status isn't quite what I'm after. I really just enjoy wearing them for myself, and I'm trying to separate my hand from my phone for at least one thing....

Not to mention I'm working the beach 7 days a week 6 months of the year, even the new S5 isn't that water proof~

Some of you gentlemen have expensive tastes.

I need to take a picture, but I wear a Citizen Eco-Drive watch. Wife bought the stainless version, I paid for the upgrade to the Titanium upgrade and never regretted it. I even figured out at least the basic functions behind the tachymeter scale!

I do admit that I have lust in my heart for the Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk Titanium Watch.

Not quite as classy as a Rolex or Omega but my Eco drive has been 100% as well as my Bulova, both excellent watches for the money and the Bulova usually gets lots of nice compliments.

I saw your photo either on EDCU or IG, I can't remember. I'm not a watch guy but the simplicity of this caught my eye and I thought "That's a cool watch. It's nice and clean ... I could probably sport that one."

Then I googled it.....

recently bought and currently wearing this one Seiko chronograph it's affordable and looks great. though i realized i dont have much use for the stop watch feature, it just makes the watch look...pretty.

How about this one? www.prestigetime.com/item/Omega/Speedmaster-Moonwatch-Professional-42mm/311.90.42.30.01.001%20Apollo%2011.html?utm_source= GBase&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GBase&gclid=CIOK--P7_cACFVQV7AodoHoACg



On a serious note my brother has a black EcoDrive and loves it. I think it is pretty awesome save for the fact that it doesn't illuminate and is fairly hard to read in low light. I'd love to get a fancy watch solar type watch with tritium inserts but I'm fairly poor so at the moment I'm rocking an OD green & black Timex Ironman Triathlon. This thing is a beast and under $35. It has quite a few features too for being so cheap.

Here's a link for poor people like me
