Let’s Talk Watches

[Sanchez]

I started reading this thread and ended up buying my first ever watch that cost more than 20 bucks.

I got this for $129 at Jomashop.




It suits my needs as being simple and easy to maintain with the ECODRIVE.

A regular ol field watch done right is excellent. Functional and looks good. The eco drives can take a beating and last forever

Have enjoyed this thread and realized I don’t know s#@t about watches. I have a Tag, Apple Watch and just picked up this EcoDrive as a result of the thread. I intend to wear the Citizen daily and Tag for dress up.

I would personally say.
Wear the watches. Saving them for a special occasion is kinda silly. They are all made to be worn so enjoy them.

These are great!

I like the look of a "field watch" as much as anybody, but as someone who works "in the field" I can't find anything better than this. One of my coworkers wears one that he bought in 1987. It's on its second battery.

It looks good with most outfits/uniforms. It looks more professional than most other digital watches. It's cheap enough that I won't be crushed when it eventually gets tree marking paint on it or gets scratched up badly.

My Timex Ironman is a little more accurate but is a little too sporty-looking for my tastes.

If I worked indoors all day I'd go with something different. In the $200 range, I've always admired the cheap Seiko automatics and some of the Citizen Eco-Drives.
