What watch do you wear?

I shall take a look, thank you guys.
I like the black with coloured trim on the watches, with a metal base. Modern too. I guess I have to get browsing!
Do you try in store, and buy online for cheaper prices?
What's your budget and what kind of look do you like? Contemporary, unconventional, etc?
Different strokes for different folks
I like this one:

Bit expensive, but that sort of design. - £300 is the most I want to spend really, I don't have £1000s to spend on a watch.

How about the PRS-5 (scroll down) super value vintage look mechanical chrono (albeit on leather or nato rather than bracelet). http://www.timefactors.com/precista.htm
Seagull movements are really rather good in my experience.

Right I want to send the Mrs' little Zenith away for a service, also one of my pocket watches maybe (might get one done a month or something) anyone got recommendations for someone good, well priced places for services and pocket watch refurbish?

I am such a skinny guy, with long skinny arms. I have thought about getting a watch that is nice, but I am pretty sure most watches will look absolutely stupid on me?
Anyone here skinny who wears watches and it suits you? - Or is there a certain watch to go for with skinny people so it doesn't look out of place?
This is perfect for skinny wrist - it's my day to day work watch. easy to read and doesn't matter if you scratch or bang it.

Hi guys, its my birthday coming up and i think im going to get a new watch, i have a budget of something in the region of £250. I dont really know much about watches and what makes a good or bad one, i want something that will last a good few years with a classic style.
This is the sort of style im after but not the Armani brand

Are Tissot a reliable brand? they have some nice clean styles.
Any pointers are appreciated.

if you are not bothered about mechanical then: http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men/dress/view-all-dress/c5-q-swk-mk2.html
That is a very nice watch, added to shortlist along with this from Tissot

They are doing 15% off advertised prices currently with a code too. Dont forget Steinhart too. I think they are better than CW in my experience.

Hmmm I'm really tempted to sell off my Tudor, Zenith and Zenos and buy an Omega AT.
I think I might just have to do that.

I saw a similar one with a pin stripe dial which I liked on watches.co.uk last week.
