    For those of us who wear watches, what type of watch do you wear on a normal basis?

    I currently have a Digital Casio G-Shock (shown below) that I've had for 3 yrs now and when my Wife asked me for some ideas for Christmas from her and the kids I suggested that I would love another G-Shock watch but in a Analog version....she stated the watch I have now is just fine lol.

    Suunto Core. It has been pretty good so far. Also has a compass, tells altitude, has a barometer. It was a little pricey at 300$. Maybe they have come down in the last few years.

    yeah Ok/Sooner...watches can be expensive...my friend has 4 Invicta watches all over $1000.00, they are what I call the modern day Rolex of watches these days.....way over my budget and taste.

    I try to stay under $150.00 lol

    I always wore a watch as a kid/teenager.. Never took it off... If I did I had pale white skin where my watch would be. Took a few years to get rid of that once I just started using pagers/cellphones.

    Everyday watch is a Rolex Explorer II. It was a gift from my wife when my second son was born. I realize its out of the price range of many and its a bit indulgent, I will say after nearly 9 years I am happy that it was purchased back when it was. As Tom Maggliozi said, "do it while you're young. You may never have a chance to do something this stupid again."
    I will say that we are/were working professionals, so while it was an expensive purchase I am not advocating blindly slapping down a CC and financing something as dumb as a watch.
    For hunting and recreation I often wear a G shock, but to be honest I dont pamper the Rolex.

    I'm a bit of a watch snob in that I only like "nice" watches. I own 1/2 dozen of them of various makes and models. Nothing in the Tag or Rolex caliber (not allowed to do that until my wife has a bigger rock on her finger) but I down own a couple nice Movados that I typically reserve for "fancy" occasions.

    My daily driver is usually either a Citizen Ecodrive or a Bulova.
