Icon7 Most Recognized Watch Brand (Other than Rolex obviously)

We all know that Rolex is the most recognized brand to the average Joe. What brands do you guys and girls think are the other widely recognized brands? I personally think Tag Heuer and Omega are the next two in line.

Probably TAG-Heuer. Other brands would probably be Seiko and Citizen.

I think we may have over looked the common man's watch "Timex" was everywhere in the old days.

Heeyyy, I own a Casio too. Great gizmo, barometric pressure, temperature, of course time and alarms.

Too bad it cannot get me a beer from the fridge or fetch my slippers.

I would have to say that if the recognized means people look at the watch and instantly can tell what brand it is, I'd say Omega or Cartier, maybe Tag Heuer.
