This, for today. The dark brown leather band coordinates with my shoes. Yes, I am that ridiculous.

Though it needs a battery. I basically just wear watches as bracelets. I use my phone to see what time it is.

All I got is an old hair tie I borrowed from a friend who showed me how to do use it once, but I was too lazy to practice and kinda forgot. Had it for so long now my wrist feels weird without it.

Me too. Quality leather, minimal design and fairly cheap. Pretty bad as far as actually telling the time goes... But let’s be honest. Watches are form over function for most people nowadays

They are really pretty, although the quality is sometimes suspect, and the crystals can be kind of soft. This one is my current daily since I broke the band on my Fossil daily.

Okay, so what’s an analog for this: a car that has good design, quality materials, is fairly cheap, but doesn’t actually work that well as a car?

The styling on this isn’t exactly the slickest, but it receives time and date from the atomic clock, it’s very easy to change time zones when traveling, and it’s solar powered.

I bought mine in 2012 and it’s still on Citizen’s website . Go figure. I’ve yet to use any of the stopwatch functions, or whatever the hell a tachymeter is.

All the Citizen atomic watches are at least this busy looking, or more, and I like all the stuff it does.

The answer is always...

I get where you’re coming from, but Miata’s seem to “keep very good time” and work just fine for a single individual transport.

Materials? Getting better, I guess.

This is why I dislike MVMT watches. If the design was truly minimalist, it’d be useful.

If true minimalism is the bare essentials with no ornamentation and MVMT design is pure ornamentation at the expensive of usefulness, their aesthetic is actually the opposite of minimalism.

It’s useful if you’re just trying to get someone to notice your cool-looking watch. =) I don’t disagree with you on the semantics.

A true, modern minimalist probably wouldn’t own or wear a watch.

Kinja won’t let me post a picture, but I’m just wearing my white face/polished body Timex Weekender with a black textile strap.

It matches my belt and shoes, which is not ridiculous, no matter what ADabOfOppo says.

I see the $100-150 range that MVMT is participating in as borderline cheap as well, though - especially seeing as it’s quartz.

And, the Caterham Seven option is actually legit cheap in some markets - a base Seven 160 is £19,995 with a factory build in the UK - although that isn’t exactly “quality materials”.

Well until I get an Autodromo Voloce, I wear my everyday Moro 360. This thing won’t die. Best work watch ever

I need to up my watch collection. I have an oldie from my great grandfather that needs a new band. The watch itself isn’t anything too special, but it was from him and has our yacht club burgee on the face, so it has tons of sentimental value.

In the watch marketplace, $100 seems cheap to me, but it’s all relative. A $60k car seems cheap compared with a $2mm superdupercar.

A Seven 160 would be so much fun...

The same Timex Ironman Triathlon I’ve had since 1999 when I got it in Grade 9...on its third battery and...like...seventh strap! Still works perfectly!

When I can get a Seiko 5 for $54? Or, if you want Swiss, a selection of Swatch Sistem 51s in the same $100-150 price range?

If it were mechanical, it’d be a cheap mechanical, but for quartz, yeah, I’d say $100-150 is only borderline cheap. (I’ll give Seiko Spring Drives a pass, though. Yes, they’re quartz, but they’re... different.)

The range of prices on watches is just stupid. I mean, I admire the design and craftsmanship involved, but I don’t believe I’ll ever understand spending thousands upon thousands of dollars for one. See: Patek Philippe, etc.

If there’s history behind the model (and I was made of money), I can get it. The omega moon watches, for example.

It’s part of Seiko’s Recraft Series , bringing back retro designs with a bit of a modern twist.

At this point I won’t buy a watch unless it has some sort of additional functionality over just telling time, whether it be day/date, chronograph, rotating bezel, etc.

Huh I’m surprised they’re automatics at that price point.

But yeah I agree, if you’re buying a nice watch having a plain face with no other info is kinda lame

Damn, mine’s been dead reliable! I even have another watch which is the the slightly older version (1996) of my same one with a slightly different face that also works perfectly, though I had to take it apart and clean it once or twice...20 years of crud can block up buttons :P

Thank you. I have a few others, but this one works really well as an everyday watch. I know this is gonna sound really bullshit, but it actually changes the way you think about the day after wearing it for a while. You can physically see the entire 24 hours and can break it up into its chunks and see what proportions of it you’re using on what. It’s also kind of disconcerting because it moves so slow, you can’t see it turn so you just have to trust that it’s working. It’s also not the most accurate way of determining what time it is, but that’s why phones exist. Link to website

My Heuer 844 today, usually wearing that with a grey black Bond Nato strap. Lately bought a Ben & Sons Pantera with I think has a Citizen movement. My other watches include an Invicta 8926 with Seiko NH25A movement, a Breed Genaro with Seiko movement , one Pulsar dress watch and a bunch of various model Timex Ironmans and a Stealth.

The strap is actually the one that came with the watch. Got it on Amazon about a year ago.
