Exactly the same setup as mine. Try a Hirsch Carbon Fiber with it.

The one I'm wearing right now is digital, but I'm hoping my wife is going to get me a Seiko Kinetic Titanium for my bday.

My watch is analog, although I rarely wear it.

Watches? Who needs them when we have cell phones with clocks?

Wow! What are the odds? There are a few serious watch enthusiasts on this board, but the 656 is a fairly unusual watch.

I use a seiko kinetic. My watch for when I work out is a digital POS that I got from walmart for like $10. No point killing my nice watch, right?

A bit of history. One of the first digital watches I remember was a LED display plastic job from TI, I think. I was delighted to get it back then because I worked on the old disk drives. The access mechanisms on those used a heavy magnetic field (gauss bath was the term then). The magnetic field would instantly destroy an analog watch. Once I got the digital watch, I used to amaze and astound other engineers by taking my watch and dipping it into the magnetic field. It would continue to work with no hesitation. My, how things change!

Weird, I just bought a $170 dollar watch yesterday by Ernest Borel.

Well, considering my cellphone doubles as my watch, digital.

How do you know with time it is with those useless things? No hash marks==late for the train. You got conned.

$100, 5 year old Seiko quartz still on original battery FTW!

I wouldn't say that, my coworker has one and it's good for bling and impressing ladies.

Analog, had a digital watch back when I was in elementary school. Looking maybe to buy a kinetic watch, or something where I never had to replace the batteries.

Gigital....for now.

Huh - interesting. There are also some mechanical watches designed to work in conditions like these (the legendary Rolex Milgauss is one), but I know in general they are ruined by a powerful mechanical field.

:thumbsup: Best watch I've ever worn.

Last two were analog. Had a 512MB usb watch, broke on its own, replaced, broke again shortly thereafter. Don't get one.

Now I'm wearing a silver Fossil watch that the GF got me for Christmas. Looks a heck of a lot better than plastic ones I used to wear.

there is a clock on my phone, no need for a watch

I haven't worn a digital watch since I was in middle school. Back then, it was cool to have a stop watch and all that. Once I got into high school, it was more fashionable to wear analog watches rather than having a toy on your wrist. Once I got a pager, I stopped wearing watches. Then I got a cell phone years later and still didn't wear a watch for a long time. Now, I'm wearing watches again, analog of course. It's more of an accessory rather than a way for me to tell time. Sometimes, I still look on my cell phone for the time just out of habit even though I have a watch on.

Don't wear a watch ... I sit at a computer all day where there is a clock, or in my car, where there is a clock, or with someone who has a cell-phone, where there is a clock.

work supplied Nextel cell phone/ FTW.

Do I wear a watch on my wrist, nahhhh,
Not in years,LOL.

I understand that from a utilitarian perspective, but I find watches (particularly mechanical watches) beautiful and interesting, and having a nice watch gives me something to play with and look at when I'm bored at work!

I tell time with the sun.
