Thread: What types of watches do you like?

For many years I have used 24H time on anything digital that supported that function. For watches I prefer analogue, metal with bracelet and not a strap (they're much easier to clean)

I now work as a paramedic and all our timekeeping is done in 24H... and then I found watchyouseek and found that there 24H analogues out there.
Saved up and finally brought this 2010 AirNautic EarlyBird

Tissot PRC 200, water proof to 660ft. I like a watch that is sturdy, well made, has timers, and is a quality brand. Only thing this one is missing is an alarm.

I used to have wrist watch AD. I’ve had several Seikos, a G-Shok, Omegas and a Swiss Army officer’s model.

In April of 99 I got a new job and used the first paycheck to purchase a
Rolex Sea-Dweller.

This has been my one and only wrist watch since then. I like it because it works without me having to change batteries.
I have used it while diving, sailing, horseback riding, shooting and other activities. And it still looks nice enough to wear at a formal dinner.

I really like my Seiko

i know this thread is kinda dated, but i would have to say that my favorite watch, is the one my mother gave me after my father passed away, it is his 72 bulova accutron, i do have to get it repaird though, for some reason it quit working properly

thought i would post a pic if my watch

I love them all! okay not all of them but I like both mechanical and quartz, I make my decision based on the complications they have.

Don't wait too long. Those have the tuning fork mvmts and the parts for those things haven't been available for over 30 years. Fewer and fewer people are able to actually repair them.

Just think I thought I'd save money switching to collecting straights over watches. I have everything from a Rolex Datejust-to my fathers Zenith
and about seventy others in between. I too like the Volstock,and its lume tubes,for the price you cant beat them,automatics are my favorite,but I have a few quartz in the mix, but they really have to look good,as I really like the little machine on my wrist that needs no battery. I have even bought some of the T.V. brands,Renato,Swiss Legend,SWI, and when they used to make good watches even a couple of Invictas. When they put out decent products they were the ultimate beaters,automatic,cool looking,and inexpensive,now there mostly just cheap,and HUGE,has anyone ever seen some of those hubcaps that tell time?Not for me,I like the classics.
