Your favorite watch

Just wondering what kind of watches everyone uses. Do you have a watch just for the field, or is your everyday watch also your field watch.
My current watch is an Uzi brand 200mm water resistant, all black with uni-directional bezel. I wear it everyday as well when out in the field. My ultimate watch would be a JSAR by Marathon. It's huge and pricy though.

My parents got me a British Army Issue G10 watch for Christmas same as those issued to our armed forces, if it's good enough for our boys, it's certainly good enough for me.

Prior to this i used a Timex Expedition watch, but that fell apart in under a year, so until i got the G10 i was using my everyday watch, which was a little expensive to use when out and about.

My field watch is my everyday watch; a Casio dive watch on a Zulu strap with a compass on the strap as well.
If I had the choice (and moolah) I'd probably buy a TSAR.
However I don't have the choice (or the moolah

)

My watch is the clock on my cell phone. I do not wear a watch any longer.

My field watch is my every day watch. It's got the scratched up crystal to prove it.

It's an old Timex Expedition that I bought probably 12-15 years ago when I was in scouts. I've replaced the battery once, and the strap about 6 times. It's stood by the old Timex slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking".

Timex Expedition watch for about 5 years, I left it next to my MP3 player at the Nurses station at work and it was stolen

I got another a few months ago, Kepis I don't know what went wrong with yours but they are the Mora knife of the watch world IMHO The blue backlight is perfect

Sounds cool. What's the price of that. I've always had watches that were analog, never went digital, but thats alot of info to have right at your finger tips if you need it.
