Thread: What types of watches do you like?

Murf,
That's a great looking watch!

Just got a Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave. It auto-updates via GPS so it's great for traveling.

I have the Seiko Version. I looked at the Citizen however even though it has a more advanced mvmt I wasn't crazy about the styling so I bought the Seiko Dual Time Astron with the Titanium/Ceramic in blue.

I resisted for a long time, loving my Omega, Certina and lately the Citizen Titanium solar powered watch, but I eventually broke down and purchased a used Pebble smart watch. After a while I realized I couldn't live without it and ended up with the Pebble Time Steel. No... it's not perfect, but I love the display and long battery life over any of the other brands. It works well with my Android cell phone and I can customize the alerts it gives me (near silent vibration).

I'm not big on being connected with any type of internet service, but I do appreciate being able to glance at my wrist to determine if I need to haul the phone out of my front pocket, or if I can just read the watch face and ignore the rest. Controlling my podcast playback in the car from my wrist is also very handy, never mind my sleep tracking and alarm clock that will soon become a "Don't need it anymore" kind of thing.

I have half a dozen watches, including some nice ones - but my favorite is a digital Fastime that my son gave me a few years back. I told him I wanted something with large digital numbers for flying. I had my eyes lazered about 8 years back, both eyes are optimized for "distance" (most days I can see perfect from the instrument panel out) BUT - wrist is hard to see. Need to change tanks every 30 minutes, plus generally nice to leave in UTC so I know whether the ATIS I'm picking up is current.

Only watch I got is a pro with double sapphire. I like it, its my beater. They went to the moon with this s*** so i guess it will stand up to my adventures. I bought it because its the only chrono on earth that is made to tell time, fast. And I can do that while riding my bike. Its more of a time measuring instrument than a watch imo. And pretty much all other chronos are for show only. they can ******. But this one is the real think, and it works very good when chronoing stuff at speed. btw this pic ***** but I'm shooting in avaiable light at 1600 iso so this is agood as it gets for today.

Not from Patek Philippe's site. It's a Chinese fake.
