I've had this Breitling Shark Chrono since 1988. It has gone everywhere with me since. Dead reliable.

I've got this one from Dakota Watch. Lots to love..easy to ready analog dial with some nice digital features in cool blue LED. It has audible and vibe alarms (4 plus a snooze), 3 countdown timers, stopwatch, date, time, seconds and dual time. The kicker is the build in LED lights (at 10 and 2), light or strobe option. I mean I always have a flashlight in my pocket but still nice to have a backup. Oh yeah, it is rechargeable. The case back is also a mirror finish so could function as an emergency signal mirror.

I've had my Flightmaster for a year now. An extrodinary watch! The plan was that it would only be on my wrist when I was in the Air Force, but you can say it just stayed on. Did though change the strap to be a little more wearable and not so much glittery. The best part is that it's possible to use it in two different UTCs and still be chronograpic.

Had a G-shock for around 10 years, but the strap and the rubber housing didn't like the oil.

Since I travel/live/work a lot in snow country... I want an altimeter. And since I may be camping out of cell range, I want a barometer. And I want to record altitude gain/loss hiking/boarding/etc... a compass, and yes, a watch.
That said, for the last 6 or 7 years, I've worn my Suunto X-Lander. It really takes a beating...
 
I've had my Casio Pathfinder PAG240-7CR for a little over a year. It's solar powered and the temp/barometer has been right on with my Kestrel. I used to wear a Luminox but I'm lazy with my watches so the date was always off. I find this one suits my everyday wants and needs in a watch alot better, if I was still in the Army I would have gotten a different color but I really like the Titanium. Goes great with everything too. I've swam with it, wrenched with it, and it's held up fine.

I've been wearing this one for about a year now. It has been my favorite watch of all time. I have a Suunto Core, Swiss Army, etc.. It's very accurate and has taken a beating.

I was issued this somewhere around 1999 or 2000.

I have only taken it off for a one month stint to replace the rubber watchband that finally gave way in 2009. It survived many countries and several engagements, but the crystal is still unmarked...the bezel, well...its a bit dinged up.
Love the tritium gas lights...so bright I have been able to use it as a low level flashlight in pitch black.
It still runs a few seconds fast per 24 hours, but most automatic watches do.

Marathons are on my list of must haves in the coming year.

Very nice, I do not care for digital, I like analog so much better.

Currently running my second Timex Expedition watch. Nothing fancy, but cheap and accurate. Had a Casio for years before that and it was great also. What I like about the Timex is the Indiglo electro-luminescent face. Much easier to read than any other method on an analog watch. If I step up a bit I really like the Bertucci Field watches. They come in EL also.
