What watch do you wear?

They (who is 'they'?!) say that you can tell a bit about someone from the watch they wear, so wrists on the table girls and boys, what watch do you wear, or what watch are you wearing at the moment?

For myself today I'm wearing a swatch irony skeleton;

    I have to work today so I'm wearing my Casio: Waveceptor. It's just a basic Atomic Watch.

    Non-Work days I wear my Casio G-Shock. Another, more expensive Atomic Watch

    When I have to dress up I wear my Rudy Project Analog Watch:

    Thanks! I need to get it serviced as I haven't worn it for a while. I like it though... sort of a poor man's version of the Rolex GMT Pepsis worn by Culp and Cosby on 'I Spy' and Tom Selleck in later episodes of 'Magnum, PI.'

    Thanks. It's a $250 watch I received for "free". I say "free" because all I had to do was pay for shipping and handling. Bought a pair of Rudy Project sunglasses and they had a free gift offer with the purchase. I chose the watch.

    This.

    Never been a watch person or jewelry in general. I always look at watches, and then think who am I kidding, I'm never gonna wear that to justify the purchase.

    There's some nice watches in here though. Keep the watch pron going!

    I was bought up wearing a watch, even back when I couldn't tell the time by looking at the watch :D personally I have always been drawn to the diver style watch because of our hero, the shame is I swim like a brick :D

    The Timex Perpetual Calendar

    The one I got from ebay.com has a yellow second hand, which is a tad annoying. It doesn't look that cool as the pic, but the other one I own with a metal bracelet is very heavy on the wrist, it seems to stretch my arm out of its socket, so I don't use it and can't change it to a leather strap.

    Its USP is that the day and date is always correct on these, no need to twiddle it forward when there's a short month. Downside is you have to send it to Timex when the battery runs down, you pay £3* or so and that's about once a year.

    * Just got an email from Timex saying it's gone up to £11! It's the gift that keeps on giving - to the seller. :o

    Don't know the price in the UK but the MArk XVI went in Germany for around EUR 3.750,--. It has been recently updated my the new model which I personally don't like much.

    Is there a watch out there that automatically adjusts the date and time? Thru radio waves? I know some clocks do. I have a perpetual calendar watch but it costs £11 to reset the battery, not enamoured with that.

    Edit: to answer my own question, not really.
