    Timex - It is my every day watch during the work week. I may wear another type on the weekend.

    My every day watch is a Citizen Eco-drive. It is light-powered, so no need for batteries & no worries about batteries dying at the worst possible moment.

    I've got a Casio G-Shock. It synchronizes the time with the national clock in Denver every night.

    I used to be a watch geek, had many nice watch's my favorite being a Zodiak automatic Gold Point. Don't wear a watch anymore because the smart phone has the time

    My '60s Sheffield dive watch just went kaput on me last week, so I'm probably going to be wearing this pretty much daily now.

    It looks better with the less dressy plain brown band I have on it but I think Timex RUINED it by going with the sunburst charcoal dial rather than matte black...the old style tan hands just don't go as well as they would with black. So if I could afford it (never), this would be the perfect watch for me:

    Citizen Eco-drive b/c I don't like round watches and Citizen is one of the few manufacturers (in my price range) that make rectangular ones.

    I've broken 13 Timex watches in my career. I've had the same G-Shock for over a year now without any issues whatsoever from +45 to -60C

    This 1961 manual-wind Bulova belonged to my brides's dear uncle, and I am blessed to have it now. It sat in his watch box for years, and my bride had it restored for me as a birthday present. I wear it on a gator strap. It is not water-resistant anymore, so I use it as my dress watch. :happy088:
