The watch (timepiece) thread

That says TISSOT on it. Swiss made since the 1800's. (photo posted by Corey)

Mine is also a TISSOT. It is called a T-Touch Trek. Touch screen for controls. Very cool. The saphire face is recessed below the compass ring, and well protected from the bashing that the watch gets on my wrist.

I wore this Traser through Central America:

A good, solid watch with a sapphire crystal face, swiss made, trituim illumination. About $400

Scott that Traser reminds me of the Luminox I got awhile back.

I am not into the chrome bands and shiny bezels, I like black bands and the watch dark faced too.

The gas lights on the Luminox are incredible.
No charging from the sun required, and they are very bright.
I can see my watch ten feet away on the dresser at night in the dark.

I also like the plainness of it.
Cell phone has a calculator, stop watch, alarms, ect, I really do not need it on the watch, and I do not miss those features at all on it.

Am I the only one that doesn't like wearing a watch in civilization? I find them annoying, especially when working a computer with something on your wrist. My cell phone has a clock on it, why do I need a watch? I only wear a watch when I leave my cell phone behind.

I have a trusty old Camel Trophy Chronograph; I'm on about the 6th battery and the 4th strap.

The only other watch I could imagine replacing my Camel watch with would be a Tissot t-touch.

It says Fossil. The sundial is upside down.

Both are made by MB Microtech from Switzerand.. The H3 is the original model made for the US military..

I thought the "T"'s looked a little rough for TISSOT.

FOSSIL - of coarse. Doh.:smilies27

I would much rather have a watch than a cell phone.

I lived for 35 years without a cell phone. My wife wonders how we did that.

I have worn watches since I was about five or six years old.
First one was a Mickey Mouse watch from about 1962.

I was given a Rolex sub date for high school graduation from my grandpa, and I got a panerai radiomir on a trade, but I find myself rarely wearing a watch, unless its on a special occasion. I tend to run on indian time as it is, and just dont have the need to see what time it is. However I do appreciate high qaulity i n anything, which is why I like the panerai.
