What watch do you wear?

Cheers for that, a little fiddly
Yeah just a bit. I've only looked into a crap watch to 'test' how easy it would be to change over the battery but with the screws just over 1mm in length it'll be easy to see them propelled across the room! I have seen a few places on ebay though that deal with spare screws so if they do go flying you'll have a replacement bag full of them!
Monkeyswag for me, although the selection has went way down, only seems to be 15 different ones available now.
There used to be a lot more.

Hi,
I'm looking for some suggestions for a new watch.
I've got my Seamaster 300M Pro Ceramic which I wear daily for work and at weekends. I'm looking for something a little cheaper that can be worn casually but also worn for activities where I would be too worried about the Omega.
I'm thinking...
I'd love to hear your ideas!
Thanks

- Budget around £500
- Sporty / Casual
- Durable
- Rubber or nylon strap rather than a bracelet
- Quartz
- Perhaps Chrono
- No bigger than 42mm
I'd love to hear your ideas!
Thanks

A lot of Tags fit that requirement
Id have a look at the seiko solar chronograph divers range. Solar powered quartz, available in a few colour combinations. There are some that come on a rubber strap. All are well below £500.00. Got one here with the pepsi style bezel though its on a bracelet.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
I have been looking at Tag Heur F1s and there are a couple that I'm quite keen on. Some of the Seiko Solar Chronographs look like they could fit the bill as well, some of them are too busy, similar to the Casio Edifice range, but the divers look ok.
Havent looked at Tissot I will have a look.

Omega are announcing some new Planet Oceans in NYC on Monday night. 
Speculation is that they will be special editions like the dark side speedys which are stunning but unfortunately recent limited editions have been over 10k USD.
This is the teaser on their site.

Omega announced the plannet ocean deep black GMT master chronometer over night.

Full ceramic with 600m water resistance.
A plain black model a gold model and blue and red options featuring the rubber bezel seen at Baselworld earlier this year.
The all black model is very nice but it's 45.5mm which won't suit a lot of people including myself.
Price is expected to be between 12-13k US.
It's an improvement over the planet oceans we've seen so far this year, but I still feel that they're loosing the plot.

12-13k can't be, thats over £9k. The dark side of moon speedy was only £5K
I like it but if its £9k, thats silly. I rather buy the new ceramic Daytona.
DSOTM £5k? i dont think so,
retail in ireland in euro on the DSOTM is €10k and €10.5k on the GSOTM
so assume UK for the DSOTM is circa £7.5k
I've never really seen the hype around most of the omega's, never looked appealing to me and something I certainly wouldn't drop 12-13k on. Saying that there's a large amount of expensive watches that are just a status symbol rather than actually looking good on your wrist.
Ok, my bad they do retail for more than £5k, got confused as a lot of people were picking them up for £5k.
