For the watch geeks among us, will you share a favorite or one that is unique?
Jeeezus, you guys are too high speed for a simple Aussie. Having said that theres some amazing machinery above. But as my eyes are now blehh, I can't use a digital as I can't see the readout, let alone read those teensy dials. The basic Luminox doesn't quit on you and is a "no sea to ruff no muff too tuff" kinda watch. The luminosity is constant & easy to read with fuzzy sight. My only concession is I have two.
He's got a rocking cool Hello Kitty watch he wears a lot.
And that aqua 1983 Swatch watch he wears is a big hit with all the hipsters.

Solar/Atomic Gshock with an analog display and a Suunto Core.
A Seiko Quartz diver that I got in 1981, runs like a champ, only had to have batteries and bands replaced... it went through the SFQC with me.
A Wenger Swiss Commando, nice watch, needs a battery at the moment.
Everyday wear right now is a Casio digital Baro/Alti that works well... need to take it off for the thermometer to be accurate though..

Damn right. What, you think I'm made of money?

that's only because my Rat Patrol, Combat!, and McHale's Navy Lunch boxes were stolen.

Well, it's not like you would give them to me. Theft was my only option...

My buddy, an old Viet vet wanted me to get a fake Rolex Submariner for him in Thailand. So ok...$A60 and it's his. It goes like a champion for 10 days and carks it. :-/ (Well of course mate)...not only that he took it to the local Rolex shop to get repaired. He was upset coz they wouldn't fix it.:whatever:
He was upset coz they wouldn't fix it.:whatever:I have a Wenger as well, and really like it. Great looking watch, simple, and pretty durable.
Just bought a Suunto Ambit2, legit.
Looking at buying myself a new watch, this thread has provided food for thought.
Post up your requirements and I'm sure we can help you find one to fit your budget and needs.
