Watches. They go on your wrist.

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/Skagen-S...qid=1247713321&sr=1-19

Very interested in getting this: http://www.amazon.com/Skagen-B...&qid=1247713366&sr=1-8 although im not a fan of the white stiching on the band. I liked teh really subdued font on the numbers. Reminds me of the Stowa/Nomos Banhaus style watches that are just a tad bit out of my price range for the moment.

I like this: http://www.tactics.com/kr3w/kronos-watch?src=gglb
But it's not a traditional/classic/conservative design.

Skagen, hands down. Titanium band, black or gunmetal. Ultra-light, ultra-thin, ultra-durable.

Fossil makes plenty of low-key watches.

Took a look at some on ebay, any idea what kind of batteries those things use? Just curious.

Why do I get the impression that having a piece of jewelry that looks like a watch is more important than telling time?

Because some people like form as well as function?

You're a cook right? Some people are foodies, others eat so they dont die. Same diff

Actually, I'm a Chef. Your simile is apt though. I do appreciate form as function. I was just observing, that to me, it seems that a good many ATOTers value form almost to the exclusion of function. Does it matter if it is digital or analog? Do you need the day and/or date displayed? Is an alarm needed? Do you need a back light or glow in the dark hands?

I have a Tag that is not too bad for a professional environment. I would like a Rolex or Omega next, I am not a fan of leather bands however.

The functions that people value most are still present. Adding more functions while preserving looks raises the price up substantially.

Same here, I have a tag and it looks good in the office and outside of work casually.

I'm a big fan of leather band watches. I only have 1 leather band watch (Bulova), but a piece of the dial is broken, so I dont wear it anymore. I'd like to get another leather band watch; I think they look very classy.

nice; my tag is a lower-end model, the formula. It has a white face and black bezel. I recently got the battery replaced. The jeweler had to ship it out because the watch would have to be resealed, etc. It took 3 weeks for the battery to be replaced. When I picked up the watch from the jeweler, the woman tried to sell me another more expensive tag. She told me it was time to upgrade :laugh:

I'm considering an Antea 365 at some point in the future. Although if I wait too long, I might just get the real deal Nomos Tangente/tangomat for graduation
