Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

I have a Suunto Observer, I don’t wear a watch much any more but it is nice to have to have around in case I need to use it.

It has: altimeter, compass, barometer, and tells me what time it is.

New diver :slight_smile:

and some nice glow

We share similar preferences. I like that design. I own some skeleton type watches and I recently got my first flying tourbillon. I just love it.

Nices watches guys…

Some of mines

Hey, I have got this one too, but I somehow missed your post when I browsed the thread. It seems to be a chinese copy of a russian watch. However, I like it.

My EDC couple:

I also had a Casio triple sensor. Sadly the second time the battery change went bad. It wasn’t waterproof anymore. I found out one week later. Well the rest is history.
It had a very nice optional function. The backlight did lit when it was tilted. When I turned my wrist to read the time the backlight got on for some seconds.

somehow amusing review:

$495 for 200 lumen…

My new HMT:

As my two oldest reached 18, my wife and I bought watches for them which they themselves selected. My second son has just turned 18 and thanks to Mr Duck for kindly on forwarding the watch to me.

Firstly my oldest who has been wearing this everyday for two years.

Secondly my second son's new watch.

Not my pictures but I’ll post some pics of the watches I have, pretty much all budget but I like them.

-

  1. F-91W-1 - $14
    A little too small for my big wrists.

-

2) W-800H-1AVCF - $19
Good size and features.

-

3) DW5600E-1V - $40
My favorite, although its lacking dual time which I miss.

A while ago I would have said I don’t need a watch because I have a phone, but I can’t carry my phone at work so I have been EDCing watches and even now when I still carry a phone I feel like my wrist is naked if I don’t have a watch one.

I’ve started collecting EDC watches again. Here’s a couple new ones with a couple dress watches. I really like the Seiko 5 Auto. The Citizen is also nice, but I hate the band.








That Citizen looks really cool! Why don’t you replace its original strap with a quality nato one?

The W-800H is an excelent budget watch. I really like mine too.

I just ordered the W800H from ebay for $15.99 w/ free shipping. Looks like a great all purpose watch.

I’ve got a Seiko 5 too. Been thinking about getting an Eco-Drive because you really need to wear the Seiko everyday to keep it wound.

With Eco-Drive it’s like a battery powered with charging from any light source. It’s less forgiving if you skip some days of not wearing (just leave it in lighted area). I’ve been looking at the same model as the one pictured too because it’s simple and clean looking. Also, it’s one of the less expensive models and it has the same size lugs as my Seiko 5 which i’ve bought few different straps for already.

@glenn,

That’s hard to beat for the price, I hope you like it.

I find myself wearing it more than my favorite watch because I use the dual time multiple times a day as my girlfriend is working over seas at the moment.

I like cheap watches so I’m not too fussed if they get banged up at work, maybe one day I’ll buy a dress watch but I don’t have any plans for one yet.

I like the style and the fact that it's cheap. If I scratch it up it won't bother me much. How is the green LED backlight?

The light is pretty good although its a little stronger in the bottom left corner but the rest of the display is bright and evenly lit up so its easy to read. If you press the light button it stays on for 2 seconds which is handy but even if you hold it down it will still turn off in 2 seconds, perhaps that’s a battery saving feature in case something is stuck up against it in a draw or somehow you manage to fall asleep with it pressed against something.

There was another similar one I wanted to buy (W-96H-1BV) when I bought this one but it was one or the other so I doubt I’ll buy one now, they are similarly priced as well.
