Something kind of like myself--good-looking but tough enough to make it through hell and then back.

I'm looking for something to pull double--even triple--duty in that I'll take it out on the town but I'll also wear it while camping...and perhaps once or twice when punching a man just because he looks at me sideways.

Oh, and this watch will also need to be digital or have a second hand (Which makes it even more like me)

get a scuba diving watch... they are usually indestructable... mine is, and it only set me back 200 CND... not bad i think.... right now its battery is dead and no one in town here replaces them (since its a diving watch they have to charge the thing with nitrogen when they change out the battery) so its DOA until I get into a larger place... right now I'm using my great uncles omega automatic that he got for a 25th anniversary with his work watch. Its worth a fair chunk of change... solid gold hourmarks n' stuff... no battery, dont have to wind it. pretty cool for something made in the 50's

Yeah, that's what makes this tough.

I will probably just end up being a two-watch kind of guy...but until then I walk alone

What sort of beatings does it take at work?

I will probably use mine to chop wood, mine coal, and do other very masculine things...

I'm pretty fond of the Vostok that I have. It will never pull duty as a dress watch, but it's cheap and thoroughly overbuilt. It's a self-winder with a second hand (sweep) though, so if you're looking for something Quartz, it's not for you.

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure a heavy watch would piss me off...while I'm running marathons and stuff...

I have to admit... I had a Fossil. Analog. LOVED it and it lasted forever. When I lost it, I replaced it with a Victorinox (died), Wegner (died), Timex (died) and Casio (died.) I'm thinking about getting another Fossil. ;)

For the record: I work as an installer/cable runner, etc. I bang around A LOT of shit, watches included. I also like to work on cars on the weekend. I tear shit up, I tell you what.

I have an Omega Seamaster Diving Watch ... it is self-winding, etc. Really durable, yet sophisticated.

I have a Roots watch, cost me about $150 about 1.5 years ago, has been threw everything, even dropped it on concrete and had it dragged along with a foot, the face has a VERY FINE/SMALL hairline scratch, nothing else :)
