No! People will steal my watch! Haha

It's a Suunto Core, as available here:

Or the non leather one here:

I actually have the leather one, just grabbed the first pic I saw

I have a core light on rubber for snowboarding. They're good when calibrated well.

Funny I should look at this thread. Glanced at my watch and I think the battery has gone... second hand is moving 5 seconds at a time in 5 second intervals :confused:

CWC G10 type (with battery hatch) as seen here http://www.cwcwatch.com/g10-watch-nondate.htm
Nice and simple.

Going to find cheap casio tomorrow, for use until I find out if the service warranty is still on with the G10.

I have a Nixon but find it slightly too chunky as in the height it sticks up off my wrist, it also loses time slightly which is annoying.

Are there any nice quality watches that don't lose time and preferably don't need batteries replaced every year that don't cost the earth?

I love the look of chronograph watches but always preferred digital for telling the time on.

Sorry to be a copycat, but I am so tempted to get this watch! I love some of the ones on the mrjoneswatches site, and they are a great price too.

Edit; Actually, is yours the Cyclops? I would want the metal strap on mine. I also love the Everyday Special and the New Decider.

My first proper watch:

http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product/victorinox-swiss-army-classic-chronograph-gents-watch-17670337

Only really wear it now and then, both because it's expensive (for a first watch anyway) and also it's slightly too big (but if I get another link taken out it'll be too small!)

..plus I just sometimes forget to wear it haha.

Yeah it is the cyclops, I had it fitted with a two colour leather strap as I was not keen on the styling of the metal bracelet.

I am tempted to get the limited edition BPM as a second watch.

I'm not keen on the casio G-Shock range, don't like the big huge plastic look, it doesn't need to be tank proof lol.

Any others?

pepp77 · 21 Dec 2010 at 11:39

For every day wear I have

For normal night out at the pub etc I wear

Then for best wear I have a Kenneth Cole (no picture).

Zefan · 21 Dec 2010 at 11:46

The one and only.

I've had it for about 3 months, you just can't beat it.

It's not an Illuminator, therefore it's pants! 9/10 still though for being so close to the mark.

Nix · 21 Dec 2010 at 12:01

Anyone recall those (I think they were Casio) diver's watches in the catalog a good ten years ago? There were two IIRC, one was like 200m and the other 500m with the former having red and the other having a small bit of green.

I like the Casio Ediface range like the ECW-M300EDB-1AE

But the last casio solar powered dual display watch I had was rubbish, it turned off then I'd have to leave it in sunlight for a day then eventually the analogue time stopped syncing itself with the digital time, it was a cheapo one though, will the the more expensive ones be any better?

Or am I better up saving up for a nice Seiko which I have fancied for ages anyway, do these lose time at all?

BennyC · 21 Dec 2010 at 12:32

My friends Mrs brought him the gold Casio digital with blue backlight, makes me LOL whenever I see it. Such banter.

Lustral · 21 Dec 2010 at 13:39

I have a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Automatic as a going out watch.

Using a Fossil Big Tick as an every day watch at the moment.

Its like 4-5 years old and rather battered , the display has gone of it , due to the extreme heat it was suffered to in Dubai.

Soon to be replaced by a Storm Pro Tek Limited Edition which i believe my gf got me for xmas.

I used to have a shed load of those Animal watches , but all the recent ones are pants

I recently bought these two from TW Steel. One is in rose gold PVD, the other is in black PVD. They are both 50mm in size.

Skidder · 21 Dec 2010 at 14:22

By bought, do you mean that you mugged Flava Flav?

Gamefreak501 · 21 Dec 2010 at 14:37

I do like the bulky Watches, I did have a Police Portland Reserve one, but the timekeeping was so bad (and the After Sales not really great) that I ended up sending it back, bringing me back to my one Citizen Watch.

It would gain around 15-25 minutes regularly.
