I´ve got a lot of cheap/and medium expensive old watches, ca 50 of them both mechanical and quartz.

Bimmernate · 10 October 2009, 11:34 AM

I have like 3 other watches, including a Fossil, etc. They never get worn anymore.

3 Tissots, and auto Swatch and some others. The only one that gets worn is the Timex Expedition when doing sports.

My wife has at least 2 dozen... A couple of Tissots, some Swatch and a lot of fashion watches. She wears her rolex most of the time, but does wear certain others when matching accessories.

Rebel1 · 10 October 2009, 12:21 PM

No, cheap watches really don't work for me anymore.

kyle L · 10 October 2009, 12:48 PM

My lovely beater.

fkl118 · 10 October 2009, 01:25 PM

I have a Seiko SKX007 which I wear regularly on weekends.

keschete · 10 October 2009, 01:31 PM

I LOVE Watches. The watches along the top are my husbands. The ones in the middle and bottom belong to me...I have a $30 Rumor watch, 2 Seikos, 1 Bulova and 1 Tag. So my watches run the gammit from $30 to $10,000 and I love them all. I wore the Seiko stainless sport watch for 10 years and it looks as good as when I bought it. It is on the left and the watch above it is my husband's Seiko Kinetic. I got him a new Kinetic Seiko when I bought my Tag a few years ago.

sakuraba · 10 October 2009, 01:32 PM

I had TagHeuers that were expensive when I bought them, and cheap when I sold them.

kingblackbolt · 10 October 2009, 01:38 PM

My Casio G-shock! Solar powered with the atomic clock updater... $40 from ebay and worth every penny.

propedderkustom · 10 October 2009, 02:02 PM

I regularly wear the UNBEATABLE Casio G-Shock GWM5600-1

Got it for $100 from a dealer not a few months ago and it is actually among my favorite watches. It does everything I could ever want in a watch while keeping a cool look and total durability.

Evergreen · 10 October 2009, 02:08 PM

I wear a Tissot T-touch for work. It has a compass, chronograph, alarm, ect... It looks good, and I dont have to worry about swirl marks on my oysters.

greekbum · 10 October 2009, 02:27 PM

The thing is once you have worn a quality watch and put a cheap 1 on it just isn't the same.I don't know how to explain the feeling other than you feel like somethings missing.I have been wearing my GMT since my teens and since I started with that cheap don't cut it. Having said all that I have a cheap IWI Marine Diver that I actually like and wear sometimes.I bought it to see If I would like the Panerai but after wearing it I saw no need to spend another 4k for a Panerai as I felt the other 4k doesn't justify it.So I kept it and its my cheap watch.

improviz · 10 October 2009, 02:32 PM

greekbum, that watch of yours sure looks familiar, but man, I can't put my finger on it...sure looks like something I've seen before, though!

After selling a Omega for $150 and couldn't get $100 for the second one I gave up and closed the drawer.

Who was so cheap they wouldn't buy a $100 watch?

rkammer · 10 October 2009, 03:33 PM

While my Omegas and Rolex are my favorite watches, I also have numerous Seiko Divers and also a Zodiac dress watch. I love my Seiko divers and wear them often. Here are a couple. The second one down is the 6309-7040 and was made in 1978. It is 100% original and has been serviced only twice. Seiko does make really good watches.

BigHat · 10 October 2009, 04:04 PM

I normally buy them for the way they look or function, not the price. I wear all of the watches noted below to include a Timex Ironman bought last weekend.

mb hawaii · 10 October 2009, 04:21 PM

Sure do! I still have a SS Seiko that I still love to use for work. It was my favorite watch up until 3 weeks ago. I'm not getting rid of it. For $131, it served me faithfully for over 7 years. As a matter of fact, I'll be wearing it for the next 2 days.

FlyingMoose · 10 October 2009, 04:30 PM

Here's my G-shock that I wear if I need an alarm/etc, and for travelling:

Gerardus · 10 October 2009, 05:03 PM

I do not have any cheap watches.

Matrim604 · 10 October 2009, 05:08 PM

htc8p · 10 October 2009, 05:38 PM

i have cheap watches (victorinox, paris dakar, guy laroche, even fossil) quartz and automatic over the years since high school. theyre mostly swiss made that's why their working even until today. i dont use most of them so i just sold them freakin cheap on ebay just to make it useful. now i just rotate between gmt 2c, pam112, victorinox.

cheers!

esm · 10 October 2009, 08:08 PM

yep. Have a few cheap watches. They were either given as a gift when I was "younger" or was bought for its intended use - knock around watch.
My cheapest is £7.50 casio digital.

dkazaz · 10 October 2009, 08:15 PM

Various swatches that I sleep in and wear to the gym. They break every couple of years so I just replace them with another one. It's funny how Swatch always has designs that seem to imitate classic watches, like they always have a speedmaster copy etc

gettocard · 10 October 2009, 08:32 PM

My cheap watches get more wrist time than my expensive ones.

Czechman · 10 October 2009, 09:22 PM

I wear a $30 Timex when I work on my truck.
So there, I said it!
I wear a Timex!
Sometimes.
