A Casio Wave Ceptor WV-300 and a Casio Wave Ceptor MT-G.
I need to fix the mounting point for the strap on the WV-300.

That's a nice Hamilton. I have gotten away from metal bracelets in the past year. Most days I wear this Seamaster.

I had one but my wife said it looks like a kids watch band and so I got a black leather one.

well I WAS gonna wear the Swatch Sistem51 I picked up a couple months ago but I forgot it at home. I've been wearing my G-Shock when I travel for work because the damn thing is bulletproof, and I also picked up a Nixon Rover II for dressier occasions. I think for my next one, I'll save up and drop a couple hundred on a really nice automatic. Not sure what yet though.

There must be a watch there, but I can't see it for all the hair. Or something like that.

This here Citizen is my usual everyday "nice" watch. It's solar and syncs with the atomic clock, because I like having a calendar watch but I'm lazy and don't want to have to do anything other than put it on.

I'm rocking the $10 digital (water resistant!) that I bought at the local sporting goods store. Best $10 I've spent in a long while. My much nicer Seiko is sidelined with a broken band.

I love everything about this watch. Simple, lightweight, elegant, low profile, and most importantly the face isn't the size of a dinner plate like most watches these days.

Inverted version of the swiss railway trainstation clock. Super precise and easy to read at a quick glance which is a must in my profession. I'm on my third band now, which is black neoprene with white stitching.

My everyday/work watch is a Nixon era Timex Dynabeat Time Zone - a pre-quartz battery powered watch that runs at something like 8bps and has an auxillary hour hand. It gets more attention than my special-occasion IWC:

The bezel hasn't held up too well to everyday use - scratches are easy to get if you're not careful, but I love it regardless. I haven't worn any of my other watches since I got this one.

I was just trying to guess how old that watch is.

My mom had one of these from 1986 -
We then found out it was worth nearly $500 and sold it on eBay.

My bezel was originally polished and after over a year of almost daily wear it really took a beating.
I decided to go ahead and brush it myself; wish I did it sooner. Should have come this way from the factory IMO.

Wrist is being warmed by a Tudor Pelagos today, but Jalops might enjoy this Autodromo Stradale inspired by a vintage car gauge.

Red scotchbrite. Masked off the crystal and the rest of the case with masking tape first.

The Stradale actually runs off of a 24 jewel Japanese movement (probably a Miyota). Agreed though on fashion watches that run quartz and cost as much as a good mechanical watch.

Not a watch so much, but still a thing I wear on my wrist: it's a Xiaomi Mi Band fitness tracker. Basically a Bluetooth enabled pedometer and sleep tracker. I picked the Xiaomi brand because it was $19 shipped and seemed like it did everything the FitBits can do, other than heartrate.

At the moment, nothing. I'm in the middle of my 3 months off from college, and one isn't truly on vacation when one knows what time it is. I don't even know what month we're in anymore, or even if it's already 2015.
When I go back though, I'll be using the same original Casio G-Shock I've used since 1996.
I've only gone through two bezels and 3 bands in almost 20 years, so I figure I don't really need a new one hahaha...

I've had this Pulsar for 6 years now. It's held up reasonably well, though I suspect the pins in the band will need replacing sometime in the near future. It is good bit longer and has a lot more movement in it because of the worn pins. Some of the plating on the band is getting a bit thin too but that's only on the table side of the wrist, not an area that's noticeable unless I take the watch off.
I've ordered that Helgray watch I posted about a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking forward to that.

Vintage Wittnauer automatic, likely early-60s. It belonged to my father-in-law, and I became it's keeper when he passed away. Brown alligator strap, lightweight, and it's a nice daily. Keeps time beautifully.

I have 16 watches but here's My Daily:
An Irony Freezing Rain from Swatch's 2001 Fall Collection. Its the only one in my collection that I feel comfortable wearing day in and day out. Its Light (made of cast anodized aluminum), Accurate (swiss movement), and waterproof. Its also a Full Chrono so I have get a lot of functionality out of it.

Nothing yet but I just bid on this Timex Expedition over on the Goodwill site. It needs a new battery so no one else is bidding yet. It look like it'll be mine for $8
