Have several watches I wear on different occasions, but my favorite is a Bell & Ross Function with leather band.

Suunto X6

I'm an outdoor nut so this is a great gadget for me.

Casio Data Bank 300.

Stores appointments, phone numbers, different time zones, calculator, timer, stop watch and alarm. Takes tons of abuse. This is my second one. I have used these for ten years now.

No style points at all. Just function.

Since I retired, I no longer wear a watch. Time no longer rules me, I rule time.

For formal affairs I will wear the unpretentious Eddie Bauer watch my son bought me a few years ago.

I wear a Polar Heart Monitor watch, so I can keep an eye on my HR when I "do exercise".
Believe it or not, I bought a cheapo Casio Diving watch back in '84 when the wife and I went to Hawaii, and even though the bands are broken, it is still keeping time. Those things must have terriffic batteries in them. I have people question me about that, then I pull it out and show them. Never had the back off...nuttin... Cant complain about that watch. All my expensive Anniversary Company watches with the diamonds encrusted,all them batteries are dead. I think I paid $15 for that Casio.

Reviving an old thread, I just picked up a new watch. My requirements were:

* Numbers on the face
* Titanium construction
* Automatic movement (I never want the watch to need to be opened up)
* Not break the bank

Turns out, I couldn't find anything with all four attributes. I did, however, find a nice one with 3 out of 4 (it's stainless, not Ti):

It fits nicely on my wrist and I like watching the automatic movement through the clear back. The seconds hand also moves in tiny increments, like 5 per second. Overall, for under $150 shipped, I have no complaints. I'll take a pic of it with my XD in my hand later.

$18 Casio

Got this in St. Thomas for about half the retail price. I know most Americans don't like haggling, but I absolutely love it.

This is my favorite watch that I own, and the one I wear the most often.
