What watch(s) do you wear on a daily basis?

I have a question though, How does one crack the crystal of a Casio G Shock (how tall was the building you fell from?)

I don't know. The DW-5600C was purchased used off of Ebay. The scratch was there when I bought it.

I have destroyed a G-Shock Mudman though:

Let's just say that it took a rather extreme measure to find the point where a G-Shock becomes unusable.

Mostly a Seiko 5 beater at the moment as I'm on the tools. When I want to look posh it's the Citizen Ecodrive BL8050 with diamonds around it (bling bling

).
I also wear a Seiko SKX007 or a Black monster quite a lot. I picked up a nice Wenger Brigade last year which has a slight PAM homage feel to it - in the absence of being able to afford a real one, this is just fine!

This topic remembered me that left home sleepwalking and without watch. Most of the days carry a Tissot T-touch with me. Other than that have quite a few to rotate.

I have 2 Seiko watches. I wear the diver's on a daily basis, and during occasions, the gold plated one.

The watches that take up 95% of my wrist time:

St. Moritz Titan2

Now that is nice.

In fact it got me hunting and I found this ...

... their Pathfinder model. A bit cheaper but still very nice.

I'm actually considering wearing a watch again as my current phone doesn't make quickly looking at the time as simple as my older ones. I will have to be careful about strap choice though as one of the reasons I stopped wearing one was due to skin irritation.

Neil, you might want to look at what Time Factors has to offer, and he's in the UK as well.

Being the frugal bugger that I am (need $$$ for lights and SAKs), I regularly wear a Timex Ironman Triathalon watch I bought new in 1991.

They really are a well put together watch for the money. Battery lasts forever too!

The Pathfinder is a nice watch. The movement on my Titan2 is from Miyota (Citizen's mommy). I believe that the Pathfinder also uses a Miyota movement. The Pathfinder has lots of options too. I highly recommend the sapphire crystal. It's super-tough, and has an anti-glare coating on the inside. Definitely worth the extra coin.

The Atlas is also worth looking at. Similar styling.

It's an excellent watch. I am still surprised how much I like it.

This thread is dangerous after reading about the Casio G Shock and watching all the insane videos I ran out to Wal Mart and got me one.

Now grant it I haven't smashed it with a bat ( which I know it cannot take Thanks Buzzbait). But I have treated it like a red headed stepchild.

I got me a DW6900-1V It is my first G Shock it probably won't be my last.

Nice but I like the idea of the alarm on the Pathfinder. I couldn't see a UK reseller but to be honest its a little out of my price range anyways. 'Twas a most pleasant fantasy though

Casio G-Shock GW 500A. I wore a G-Shock DW 6900 for 9 years. The watch band and battery gave out about the same time so I retired it and bought the GW 500A.

Just got this thing from DX, big and heavy, but I've never had a mechanical watch so I thought I'd give it a try.

+1. Mine is from about 1995.

My only quibble is that the adjustment knob often switches modes during normal use, so I have to switch it back in order to tell the time.

Actually, I am also not a great fan of the watchband that comes with it. They keep breaking on me and I am actually going out right now to get another replacement.

Let us know how well it functions, I have been looking at watches on DX wondering if they work well enough to wear.

I wear a Gshock Databank solar. Had it 7 years every day while working and it gets beat. Never needs Batt. Change and I keep all my Insurance numbers in it in case of accident. I also own a Rollie and Seiko sport, but the G gets the daily wear.

Freudian Frog · **Reply #59 on:** July 08, 2009, 08:49:11 PM

I... don't! Can't wear watches anymore, they bother me.

Used to wear some G-Shocks though, long ago.
