I have two nike watches... one is a Nike covert, the other is the Nike LeBron james watch. the LeBron is the far nicer of the two... the Covert is more like a cross-training watch.

I own a pair of Seikos. One is a Seiko 5 automatic and the other is a Seiko quartz movement with a gold band & case that I received as a graduation present.

Stocker & Yale Sandy P650 Type 6 Military Watch

I also own some special edition gshock.

I find the tritium vials on the P650 are friendlier at night than the gshock backight.

That's a cool watch - where did you get it?

USAF issued :)

My father got a few flying in Iraq over the past few years, and this one was given to me.

Edjt:
Funny note, my father actually prefers to fly with a gshock over that. Whereas I prefer the other. I told him he can trade me whenever. (I've already traded an old original black gshock for a stainless steel watch like the one above.) The stainless steel one is heavy though, the P650 is incredibly light and small, feels like plastic almost, but sturdy.

What I like about my Rolex, is that only a true watch fan will recognize what it is & they just freak out when they do.

Only 2 people have recognized it so far.

Just some plain old watch I bought for 5 bucks on some street corner in chinatown (manhattan). It has worked perfectly for 2 years and I see no reason to get another more expensive watch.

A whole of you have watches with metal watch-bands. I can't stand metal watch-bands..they always pluck out a hair or two from my wrist. I stick with leather bands.

Right now I'm wearing an Accutron from 1972. Sorry for the picture quality, I scanned it. Didn't feel like getting the camera out.

I have:
1 Movado
3 Anne Klein
1 Mickey Mouse Original
1 Citizen (really is water proof... I accidently left it in my jeans pocket and it went thru the washer)
And I have a Gucci watch that is more than 25yrs old. Solid gold... not plated.

And a while bunch of other watches, like Waltham and etc.. that are too old and probably not worth getting cleaned and new batteries.

I have:
- A Pulsar Solar Titanium watch for nice-nice events.....which is almost never.
- A $7 POS that I bought at Walmart for work. It's got a rubber wrist-band and works at 30ft underwater, so it suits my needs.
- A Timex Reef Gear which has been out of battery for quite some time.....and I don't think I know where it is anymore.

I'd like to get:
- A dive watch that I can tell me depth, total time, bottom time, ascent alarm, work at 200+ feet underwater and hook up to my computer and transfer dive logs. Basically a dive computer in a wrist watch (wireless air pressure, table/nitrox calculator, etc...) Alas, that'd probably be a $2000+ watch. Citizen makes some nice dive watched though.
- Some cheapy (aka <$100) watch that tells me Temp, Altitude, Baro, and Compass.
