What's your ideal watch?

[cal..45]

well, for EDC i think my g-shock G-7900 does the job best. it is btw. the best overall g-shock i have ever purchased, and i have and had lots of them:

closely followed as great EDC watches are the two g-shock G-7710 models in my collection:

if i'm outdoors or go for a run, my tech4o traileader jet is the one. it is simply the best ABC watch i have ever had (also had lots of them before) and its build-in accelerometer is so freaking accurate, you wouldn't believe:

as you can see, most of the time i wear digitals but sometimes i only want a watch that tells me the time, is analog and has outstanding legibility during day AND night. then my seiko SKZ247 (frankenmonster) comes into play:

right now i have about 30-40 watches (too lazy to count right now) but the ones i showed are those with the most wristtime.


cheers

I'm like simplicity. Like this.

These watches are all absolutely beautiful, and from ther looks of things very functional as well! Let's see more!

I don't wear a watch when working. On a daily basis I wear my Tissot PRS-200. I absolutely love the look of this watch, I just wish it were a bit bigger. Evening outings I wear my grandfathers Longines.

I love my black Seiko monster. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. SKX779K1

Sinn U1 strap

Sinn's got some good stuff. Their U1000 (1000 meters) fits the bill:

Hey, thats cool! I have one of those, only mine is a BC-negative!

Actually, the right one with the bracelet was a negative. I got the positive display with bezel separately to create the watch I wanted.

 

[mon90ey]

That Sinn U1000 is a nice watch, and that JSAR is HUGE! I reaslly didn't realize that watch was that big. I wonder how heavy it is?

This has been on my wrist for 4 years.

a wrist shot of PAW2000T

My only real complain is the case/bracelet/attachment. The case (resin) doesn't really match the color of the bracelet (titanium) and the bracelet is a little narrow (20mm lugs, maybe 22mm in width after the lugs) for the case size.

This is my Pathfinder of choice right now. The new PRW5000 (should become PAW5000 for US market) doesn't sing to me too well because they strank down the LCD screen to make sure for the analog hands.

Great shot, guys (and gals). Let's keep it going. This is interesting stuff! :wave:

My ideal watch? A Casio or Timex that costs less than $30. When the battery dies or the band breaks I throw them away. I guess I'm just not a jewelry kind of guy.

I love my Oris Titan "C" it is my most treasured watch, and hopefully in the near future I can get the Oris Titan Chrono

There is just something I love about Oris watches. The size, shape, saphire crystal, titanium, automatic... it's all just me really.

As my beater I rotate between either my G-Shock G-7710, or my Seiko Orange Monster.
I use my G-Shock when I want 24hour time, day, date and month immediately available to me, to save me from having to think or count.

Here is some eye candy

I've been wearing this Seiko for a few years now:

I travel a lot so the world time and the alarm function gets a lot of use.

Only downside is I get the battery changed probably once a year.

I'm about to get a leather band for it like this:

My ideal watch isnt a single watch, and it never could be!!!

For business i need a watch thats beautiful and matches my suit accessories like belt and shoes and such (currently got black, white, brown and tan themed watches for that)

For sports i need a watch thats rugged, waterproof and that hooks up to my heart monitor and keeps track of whats up...

For working on my car/garden/other hobbies i need a watch thats unbreakable (got 1 analog and 1 digital unbreakable atm)...

And as if that isnt enough, i also have a multimedia watch that hooks up to my phone so i can skip through my MP3s, change volume, read txt and mails and accept/reject calls and such without having to get my phone out of my bag.... And a couple that i just like for goo measure :wave:

So I kinda 'need' between 5 to 10 watches at any given time....

Although I own a Marathon SAR and an Omega Seamaster, the watch I strap on more than any other is always the classic Seiko SKX007. I have a few of both the K and J versions, all on various Steel, Leather and Nato style straps. I just pick one based on my mood or mode of dress for the day; though my favorite strap is the solid link non-Seiko SS bracelet that can be found online with a set of solid end links... I'd dare say it's as good, if not better than, the Marathon SS strap.
