Crazy. I've had really good luck with Casios. My $15 Casio analog watch's still perfect after nearly 3 years. Very sorry to hear about your watch. How frustrating after spending the extra for the G-Shock line.Guess who's G-Shock broke, without exposure to any extreme circumstances?
The digital and analogue devices are out of sync and there's no way to fix this, apparently... Didn't take Long for what's supposedly a rather rugged watch.
I've got some bad luck with my watches - they're breaking left and right. Gonna send the G-Shock in, though, it's still under warranty. Had the same thing happen with both my Diesel and Fossil watches a few months back... Oh well, don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it must be meCrazy. I've had really good luck with Casios.

Just tested the career briefly.. you guys gonna love it I'm sure!
Got a new strap fitted to my Casio analogue classic last night, bit disappointed they didn't have an exact replacement so I got a generic strap for £3.
While I was there I spotted a Casio digital Classic (non metallic version) new for 750B (£15). It's payday tomorrow so I think I might have to pick that up, mostly because the analogue I have doesn't have a stopwatch or alarm which I find to be useful features.
This one for anyone wondering:
Also, why is it all these Casios say 'water resist' and not 'resistant'?
Current Casio with new strap:
I hope the trend end after this. I used to go thru some watches when I was younger, especially straps. Ever since I stopped wearing them inside home, I rarely have any issues with them anymore. I have zero idea if this had to do with me being younger & careless then, or wearing them only outside saves them from wear/tear. Maybe it's just luck, but it's working for me.I've got some bad luck with my watches - they're breaking left and right. Gonna send the G-Shock in, though, it's still under warranty.

Same old, same old. The Diesel's broken again. Same issue it had before. Talked to a friend of mine who's got a similar watch and he's having that exact problem as well.
Now that you brought that up, I was wondering myself... Googled a bit, and while it appears that Armani watches come with Citizen drives, I've not found a definitive answer...
so I won't use it much. 
Just got probably the best birthday present I've ever recieved.
Pre-owned 223-88. Love the movement, especially the date. Largest watch I've ever had, I like that because I've got decently big wrists and have been wanting something larger for a while. Don't feel worthy
Now I have 5 wristwatches, I'll see if I can add 5 more in another 10 years (my oldest watch is about 10 years old)

I like the Rebellion, IWC, and Chris Aire models but the faces that seem to attract me the most come from Ulysse Nardin. Just . . . classic, fabulous faces that one can watch all the time.And totally out of my league at this point.
I was skeptical myself (and not surprised at anyone who would be skeptical either; I've actually met people who still think the moon shot was fake!)
Since the info came from my fourth Annual Watch catalog (a Feature Edition of the Dupont Registry) and edited by no less than Jamie Hyneman himself, I had to believe what I read. I don't think the NASA 'undercover agents' are pleased with this, pocket protectors and all.
I would think though, that apart from the several missing samples, those that were gifted to other countries and even the fifty States, may have fallen into the 'wrong' hands, and are now facing time.
I have always wondered though: why doesn't NASA actually sell the rock they mine? Don't they feel something is owed to them for all that hard work? Or is it a political thing; after all if a country starts mining the moon (and who wouldn't like to have a chunk of the real Moonstone around their necks or wrists?) then all the countries might get into it as a commercial venture - and as technology improves, it will become a commercial venture available to the public . . . and there goes our moon. Whittled away to a crescent, and we're definitely not going to have a full one. Poor werewolves!
Yes, I've heard about the meteorite watches, and there are a few others in the catalog that blow my mind - including the $335,000 Rotunde de Cartier Astroregulateur designed by movement developer Carole Forestier, a watch that has the balance and escapement mounted on the swinging winding rotor (which configuration, according to Forestier, reduces the positional errors that plague mechanical watches without actually making a tourbillon.) Obviously, another way to try and beat gravity.

The Constellation is exquisite - a classic watch that I used to dream of owning when I was a teen. Even the face of the Jules Audemars Extra-thin watch (which is similar) has a hard time competing with the simple, clean look of the Constellation.
Which reminds me of the swing towards 'pink gold' and 'rose gold' in watches lately. Seems to be some kind of trend; I've noticed many people wearing watches that have some rose gold in the strap, dial or case. Will it catch on? Only time will tell.
As for me . . . still looking for that Seiko to add to my blacklist.
The new Bulova is great - I'm enjoying every second of it.
Yeah, it's no longer in production and it just got a service so it must be something like ~5 years old. The glass does have a couple of light scratches and some on the metal as well but those can be polished out easily (I'd change the strap first). I don't know how much it cost exactly as it was a gift but it was less than half of what they usually go for I believe so that's good.
) have some pretty fancy watches, but I have yet to see an used Ulysse Nardin. That's basically like going looking for an used Ferrari GTO '84. An used Rolls would be easier to find.
There's some online sites like chrono24 and some reputable eBay dealers that carry a few used models at varying prices depending on condition and how much it has (box, papers, etc.) but really nothing beats seeing it and trying it out in person. There's a local place called Miami Collection that sells pre-owned watches at half price usually and match the manufacturer's warranty. There must be something similar close to you.Less than half would be half bearable, yes, and this now gives me some thought about looking out myself for a pre-owned. The swap shops nearby (I have several in my area
Nobody does that.
Or do they? 
Great buy, dude. I love the watch, but the price is awesome.

Thanks for pointing that out. The manual said that adjusting the digital clock should set the hands as well. I'll give it another look.
