The luminous hands are pretty sensitive to light, and last for a while. Solar powered, and "never" needs a battery change. Should be at least 15 years for a battery change, but it's better to have it serviced every few years or so. The only annoying thing is I can't turn off the chronograph beeps and the alarm isn't nearly loud enough to wake me up. Citizen Eco Drive AP2161-68M |

I couldn't find a picture, but mine is a Guess waterpro w/ a red face. I'm really partial to the guess watches, this one is getting old tho, it was a gift from nearly 2 years ago.

Has anyone else noticed that almost all of these promotional displays of watches have almost exactly the same time? Why is that?

This is my new everyday, every activitywatch.
finally replaced my other one after 10-15 years and 3 batteries later. The screws stripped out the last time I changed the battery and allowed water inside.

mine is an old fossil blue. i couldn't find an exact picture since its at least 4 years old, but this one is pretty close:
<img src="http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/350z/5124_big.jpg" /> problem is this one's from a nissan dealer, so it had some changes. the big Z is replaced with the fossil logo and the watch face background has some texture to it on mine. other than that, same watch. |

yeah 10:10 is a standard. I read about it somewhere but can not remember where. Its kind of like the 555-XXXX numbers in the movies.
Did a search and came up with this: First of all, the 10:10 position does not block out the watch company’s name or logo. In this position the hands act as a frame for the name or logo. Some watches have the model name or some lettering such as the chronometer rating at the bottom section of the dial. There are watches that have a subdial for the seconds hand at the 6:00 o’clock position and indicating the time as 10:10 does not interfere with any of these. Some companies have started using 10:08 or 10:12 as the time shown on the watch in their ads. This stops the longer minute hand from blocking out the numeral or marker at the 2:00 o’clock position. On a chronograph with subdials at 3:00 o'clock and/or 9:00 o'clock 5:08 or 6:53 may be used to frame one of the subdials without blocking the watch company's name or logo. In addition, when the hands are in the 10:10 position they form a “smiley” face instead of a “frown” that would be portrayed if the time is set at 8:20.

I have to go with the Nixon.
They have some very dressy models but carry the added bonus of being a more-core skate/surf/snowboard brand. I got this for my birthday. 100m World time Alarm, hour beep. Stop watch You can also hold the light button down to hide the digital display for the clean lo-tech analogue look. It weighs a tone, which is how I like my watches weighted. www.nixonnow.com Check out their 'Collection' stuff. They have a few of their more popular models in a Ltd edition Matt Black finish.

Currently I wear a fairly collectable Seiko men's Mickey Mouse watch.
Seiko doesn't make them anymore (Disney has since gone to Lorus or their own brand name). Some day, I want one of these:

1958 Waltham that I picked up on e-bay several years ago. It's a manual wristwatch (meaning I have to wind it every day) and it keeps excellent time.

I don't wear a watch anymore... I look at the time on my phone when I need to know the time.
I've owned a few watches but this one was my favourite... I lost it.

I loved that thing. Didn't lose it, it was ripped off my wrist as I fell out of a boat. It sunk to the bottom of the lake. The strap was weak, because I had it for so long. I think about the fish up north that swim by it every day to check the time. I bet that thing is still fucking ticking away, 100 feet under water. I had just replaced the battery. *cry*

I found the design company I was looking at in New York. Here are the watches I am looking at:
The cost difference is about $150 (stopwatch is more expensive of course). I'm leaning towards the latter watch due to cost, the fact I never use a stopwatch, and the I like the colors. It's really hard to find these in the US though.
