Tell me about your time piece?

I have a g shock mud master and a luminox of some kind. Watches always served function only for me. I bought a smart watch once but never could remember to charge it. I guess I need to be classier on this subject.

My Dad’s Rolex is currently back at the mother ship being brought back to original condition. They had to source parts because they no longer had stock, so it will take extra time and money to get it back to original condition. Worth it. He got it on one of his his mid tour leaves from Vietnam, I got it upon his death.

Seiko dive watch used to be my go to for a mechanical, Did some orient two tone subs.

Gshock for a digital

Had a Tudor Pelagos for a while, but was too nice for work as they wouldn’t replace it if broken.

Looked around for what I wanted, titanium case and bracelet, domed Ar sapphire crystal , Swiss mechanical movement, good lume, minimal 300m resistance

Found a Steinhart ocean one titanium that checked all the boxes. Caught it at a time when the dollar was strong in the currency markets, so overall cost was reasonable enough to merit wearing at work.

I do still miss the spring loaded dive strap portion of the pelagos bracelet, I’ve never seen a better on yet, if you haven’t had a chance, stop into a watch shop and try it out. I keep looking for another manufacturer that builds something similar

The three watches with me in the RV at the moment are a Reactor Trident 2 Dive Watch, a limited edition (137 or of 250) Reactor Gryphon made for London Bridge and given to me by a Marine Corps buddy who was working for them a few years ago, and finally a Seiko know as "the Arnie" or H558 made famous as the watch Arnold wore in the 80's in movies like Predator and Terminator. Mine is the current generation in too much Kale green or maybe it's OD... I'm more of a utilitarian watch guy, I tend to be rough on them. The Reactors are great because the lugs are indestructible and the Tritium is ridiculously bright. The Arnie is a watch that I wanted since I was a kid and managed to pick one up a year or so ago for a decent price. I have more watches, but these are my go to daily wear watches at the moment. Naturally I have the basic color tones covered like all fashionable fellas... watches.jpg

Depending on what I'm doing, I EDC a Glycine Airman or a Casio G-Shock Aviator. I prefer analog, though the Aviator does show the date & other info digitally. I have an older Citizen ProMaster dive watch & a Seiko "Turtle" from the 80's (Both are autos).

I have a
Victorinox watch I got for 15 years
100 year watch from the place I worked.
Citizen Promaster Hyper Aqualand dive watch I bought in 96 while in Okinawa. The software for downloading the dives was on 3.5 disks. For a Cpl $250 was a lot of money. Just looked and I can sell it for about what I paid for it.

The wife is going to get her Open Water and I am refreshing mine, so I sent the Promaster back to Citizen for a new battery and pressure test.

I have everything from 1800s Elgin and Waltham pocket watches to modern Casio pathfinder, Seiko automatic, to a number of Invictas. I wear the Casio in the field but my swiss made Invicta subaqua diver chrono is my daily wear.

My favorite watch.

Got nailed to my wrist with a Taser probe in a melee over a piano.

Hardly ever wear anything but a garmin instinct.
-light weight
-flexible
-gps
-altimeter
-pressure and temperature sensors
-compatible with high quality HR monitors
(-gives alerts in case of pressure changes indicating rough weather)
-it also shows the time :-)
-shows sunset, sunrise, moonset, moonrise and twilight time (nice feature for hiking in the woods)

I might get one of those fashionable watches but merely as a tool to use for business/career purposes.

+1 on the Instinct. It's what I wear whenever I'm not wearing my Ares. Besides the features you mention, I specifically use the RUN and BIKE widgets... and the DOG TRACK widget to slave my Garmin Alpha 100 dog GPS receiver to the Instinct while bird hunting.
