Watches:What are you wearing?

[powkisser]

maybe a little to bling for your good self, decent price though

[ChrisF]

Corums don't hold their value that well so that'd be a bad investment

It says I can try it on at home and return it within 30 days. hmm.

I'm not looking for anything expensive. Just something that tells that time/date and looks smartish (fit under a shirt sleeve). Opposite of my gshock.


This would do me fine for ?90

If you're shopping for about the £100 mark you really can't beat a Swatch. My Gunmetal one on the previous page was a "Guess" watch, they're excellent quality and retail for around £80/£90 in a range of styles.

I had 3 Swatch watches before I got my Rado and I can't fault them, you can't beat them for their price.

You still have a Swatch! They own Rado...

[Ajay1986]

lol I didn't know that, boy I'm glad i didn't say Swatch's are a load of s**t.

[ChrisF]

Hehe. You'd be surprised to know how many brands are part of the Swatch Group. Not to mention how many non-Swatch Group companies use movements made by Swatch. They're everywhere!

Casio F91W ftw!

Currently got a Seiko 5, which i've had for about 8yrs+



Best of all it was an automatic, so no need to worry about batteries. However for the past few days i've noticed condensation has started building up behind the glass, and it has started to speed up quite a bit, so may might be on the look out for a new watch

Quick service, and a regulation should sort those problems out. Any local jewellers might be able to do it for you.

[KIT786]

I suppose I could check it out, but considering a few months back the glass on my dads watch cracked and the cheapest quote to fix it was something like £40, i'm not sure how much they would charge for sorting mine out. Will pop into town sometime next week and see what kind of price i'm looking at.

Huge watch lover here - I must have at least 15 by now. Nothing super super expensive however. Just got this one today though - loving it already!

[BaudAttitude]

This is my little rebellion:



I'm a geek, I'm supposed to be wearing a watch with 3 or 4 dials and an altimeter and multiple independent stopwatches and the ability to calculate howitzer trajectories while compensating for windage and all that.

This doesn't even have a "seconds" hand.

Finally sorted myself out with a Nixon Superhero II Ti PU.



All the digital stuff completely disappears, so it looks quite swish.

It's very light which is nice.
