What watch do you wear?

I really want to purchase the Michael Kors MK5792 watch, but is this a mans watch or a womens? Some sites say mans, some say womens. I really like the colour scheme, is there any other watch which is similar?

its a mans watch. its 41mm which isnt huge for men, but bigger than the avg ladies watch.

really wouldnt buy a gold looking watch which is actually steel. if its just the fact you want a steel chronograph watch with coloured accents/bezel then there are plenty of options.
 
The colour combinations are horrendous, in my opinion. If you like the diver style, look here.

http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/diver-watch.html

Towards the bottom of that list are options with coloured bezels. You're also getting a mechanical watch with a quality movement, not a quartz.

Edit: Just looked at the price of the MK watch, obviously the Steinharts are more. Have a look at http://www.creationwatches.com/ - you might find an Orient (mechanical) or a Seiko to your tastes for a good price.

I have small wrists so don't want anything which is really large.

It will be a formal watch, something which I can wear on an occasion. I want something in that style. Similar to the Rolex Yatchmaster? Well the sort of blue, red, gold colour schemes.
 
Couple of new straps today...

Why? The colour is rather gash, but I sort of like it. It stands out, and I like things which stand out.

It stands out for all the wrong reasons. Come on man, have some decency/taste!

I don't think size denotes "ladies" watch in many cases. Just the design. Omega do 37.5mm divers and they're not in any gender category, likewise Rolex have some too.

eff you smokedog! I had the edit tab open for ages before getting time to sit at the desk and post a reply! :p

New Omega Panda, really like it, might be my next watch purchase although I would like a Panerai on a brown strap first really.

The winder I got the other day works nicely, it's about as quiet as a home laptop I'd say. It has 4 modes which may prove useful in the future. The blue LED strip going around the face isn't really something I care about so modded it with black electrical tape so instead of a translucent trim shining light in all directions it's just a thin strip like diffused neon. Looks better, shines less light :)
