I have to agree with you and am in a line of work where you might need one, firefighter paramedic. I stopped wearing a watch about 15 years ago at work, it just got in the way and broke too many. Taking a pulse is really a matter of knowing if a rate is too fast or too slow and that is easy just to feel or hear or hook up to the monitor. Like you said there are things that tell time all over the place, even on a patients arm:ylsmoke:

I have been wearing a Suunto Core for a year now. I wore a Suunto Vector before that, and I can honestly say they are the best watches I have ever owned. They are accurate and hold up to the abuse that comes with mountaineering and rock climbing. Not to mention the occasional crash on the mountain bike.

I own the Omega Sea Master Dive Watch. But it's less then a good watch.. already had to return it for repairs three times..
I have been using Traser Watches for about 8 years now. Great watches and with a lot of history. I have been wearing the Traser Black Storm Pro for a couple of years, and you couldn't ask for a better watch. Not a give away at 450.-- bucks but none the less worth every cent. I dive, hike camp etc with it.. and it looks good enough to wear for a night out of the town.

My daily wearer is my Highgear Alterra.
I spent a lot of time comparing the Suunto and the Highgear and based on actual user reviews went with the slightly less expensive unit. No regrets in 4 years.
When that's too big to fit under a shirt cuff, I strap on my Citizen's Eco-Drive.

I have the most reliable time piece known to man....water proof guaranteed, never breaks, guaranteed and when it does, you don't need it any longer, accurate to within 15 minutes (how much more accuracy do you really need), costs nothing and is infinitely versatile and calibratable (is that a word?).
It's me, my stomach tells me when I am hungry, when I am sleepy I sleep, a use the sun to stay within 15 minutes even through clouds one can see brighter areas.
Always in fashion, no one wants to rob you for it. Goes with everything. Never forget it. Pretty much zero maintenance.
Only thing it is very poor on and that is dates...I forget which day of the week it is and what is the dates. Gotta get that fixed!

Huh? The Seamaster is a great watch and Omega is a great company. It may not be a Rolex, but Omega makes some very nice stuff.
