trying to stick with one watch, im an auto technician so its going to get beat up, but one thing i like about my watch know is its easy access under the sleeve when riding to check the time.. i was considering getting a gps watch, but i dont know i want to spend that much..

My G-Shock is my everyday watch an the Bulova is my fancy time watch :cool:

I've only had the G-Shock for 5-6 months but I am hard on watches an it takes it like a champ. It's slim so easy to check under a sleeve. Mine is the solar powered one as well which is awesome.

I have a new G-Shock with the atomic/solar version which is a nice watch but a bit too small for my taste after wearing a Suunto mil-spec X-Lander for the past two years (broken band and they're a pain to replace).

buy a new band? or just send it in if you love it and get it repaired. i have a pair of flip flops i've had since high school that i've sacrificed other flip flops for to repair. now, i only wear it for special occasions cause the bottom is developing a sizable hole.

if you're set on a new watch, what's the budget? what type of movement do you like? complications?

Get a Nixon. I have a few and they are very durable, yet nice looking. All different sizes and prices. Www.nixonnow.com If you want something a little nicer, Rockwell watches are where it's at. A little bit pricier but still a by nice watch. Need something that you are going to beat up, go to wal-mart and stock up on the $10 watches

Citizen Eco Drive...Model:Calibre 8700, they come in a few different colors. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this watch!!!!! Its not huge like some but has a good weight to it. And you cant beat the quality, ive had mine for 5 years now and i beat the shit out of it and it still looks great. They look good for casual, sport or work attire. Retail is around $450 but i think i got mine for around $240. If you get any citizen watch, DO NOT try to size it your self take it to a jewler they will charge you around $10 ish

Daily use, I wear my Suunto Core!

i personally wouldn't pay $400+ for a quartz watch, but that's just me.

for a beater work watch do as others have said and get an el-cheapo from wherever.

*edit: measure where the band attaches to the watch ("between the lugs"), should be some even increment of mm (16-18-20-22), then purchase a replacement strap/bracelet. Maratac, Maratac Zulu, Nato G10 are all good brands. Depending upon the watch, a "Bond" strap might look good. Google it.

I've had a Timex for two years for work - wear it daily. It needs a new band and will need a battery soon. Having both done in January. I have another one that I wear at home, a little nicer design.

If I had some money to spend ($1000+) I'd be the proud owner of a Tag Heuer Professional 1500 or 2000 series, granite face. I'm pretty picky about watches too - Tag's midsize case fits my dainty wrist pretty well.

If you like the granite face then you would love the meteorite face available on the rolex. Costly, but cool as hell
