What watch do you wear?

I'd say the white, it has a lot more class to it and looks much cleaner. The black just looks like a racing watch (which i'm not a fan of).

I have an older version of this watch... 5 years old and it's still going well!

I went with the black one in the end, £195 seems like a good price.

I recently got a Michael Kors MK 8107...

New watch on the way to me hopefully

Fancied myself something to wear at work on the farm as I refuse to wear my Casio Aviator (GW3000B) incase I wreck it

GW-M5600-1ER - Retro styling!!

Only £45 at Amazon, everywhere else is £70-100+

^^^ Good price for that. I have one and wear it every day, though mine is on the expensive Casio composite bracelet.

The one with the metal folding closing link? (Can't think of the term for it sorry!)

Yes, here's where I got mine. Though the price went up a lot in the last year, they used to be £30. They are superb though.

Haven't got a watch so going to buy one this week. Can't decide on which colour.

What'd that watch called?

Pricey! looks rather chunky for my farm work, it might get caught in my overalls etc

What would that watch called?!

That watch would be called a Tissot PRC 200, It's almost as if the image on here gave me those exact details

Sorry - I slipped on the keyboard

The 9 marking on the dial has come off on my Skagen! It's just stuck to the glass now.

This little baby..... only a cheap watch RRP is £50 I wear at work when im out and about - don't see the point in spending more than £200 or so on a watch unless you have money to burn

Just ordered. The gf hates it which is a bonus. I can't get on with metal, fabric or leather straps which limits me to rubber straps and most watches with a rubber strap are kids watches. Also the other functions (Alti/baro/storm warning) will be handy when out on the mountains cycling or climbing.

Why the limited edition? It looks awesome, doesn't have the stupid twisty bezel that I have heard breaks easily and I wasn't paying (21st bday pressie)

Haven't had a watch for the last 3 years as I have been trying to find a decent one before buying.

I like the Suunto watches, although I can't comment for every-day wear!

Do you/did you have one? This will be my first. Was always deterred by there not being one for both mountain AND watersports but I do less watersports now so there is less call for things like a sailing countdown timer.

Does anyone know about Corum? Do they make watches that have the quality to backup the prices? (movement etc). Really like their Admirals Cup models.

Just purchased this bad boy:

I figured with a year upcoming in Nepal it might be nice to know what altitude I'm at

Should be a nice everyday complement to my Vostek N1.

debatable

they make some interesting watches and quality of materials is fine - the looks tend to be marmite

I know they refer to their movements by their own naming but some (certainly the chronos) are bought in. The co947 is a valjoux 7750 which I can buy as a movement for £200 ish - however, this is not uncommon and many of the big manufacturers effectively just case watches around eta/valjoux movements

They do tend to lose value very heavily so can be had as (relative) bargains second hand

edit: just had a look and the movement in the watch you like is an ETA 2893 rebranded - good movement but I would struggle to pay JLC money for a watch like that
