How opportune that this thread gets bumped up – I’ve been looking at lots of watches online for the past few days. My current watch is almost exactly like this:
It’s a nice enough watch, but it has two problems: I hate the gigantic numerals, and the wristband is somehow perfectly designed to cause, um, issues. It’s designed for a much rounder wrists than mine, and so it’s always flopping upside down, and the band constantly falls out of the little sliding thing. It really should be worn by someone at least 50 pounds heavier than me – i.e., my dad (this was his watch, but he never wore it, so he gave it to me).

Sage, you should drop out of college and get one of these Jacob & Co. World is Yours watches.
It's only $122,000.00. It has free shipping, which is nice.

No watch for me, just my blackjack to keep the time

Currently I'm wearing my 5.11 Tactical HRT Ballistic Calculator watch...

That looked for all the world (Ha!) like a GT Planet-themed watch! I'd have bought that!

I thought the same thing!
Sniffs, surely you could get a watchmaker (or whatever the word is) to remove part of the band if it's unadjustable.

I have some old Time Tech watch. Have no idea what model, but it keeps the time and I need it %100 of the time at work.

Well, my watch died couple of weeks ago. Bummer, as I thought it was gonna run forever. It lasted damn near a whole decade.My current watch is this old, Blue Angels watch. I've owned it for few years and I still have not replaced that battery! Yesssssssss!
For now, I got a cheapie off eBay for $66(yay! free ship!):
The actual watch doesn't do picture justice!
It's an OK watch for a cheapie, but yeah, the quality does not begin to match up to the Citizen Navihawk(Blue Angels watch). I've been wanting a Casio G-Shock for awhile now, so I think I'm gonna get one of those as well.

If I'm honest, it's not what I would have picked out either, but as it's not hideous and I clearly can't complain about the build quality, it'll be around for a good bit longer. When the time comes, however, I'm thinking some kind of Chronograph. My wife will likely do what she usually does - push me towards a $800 TAG when I'm considering a $19 Timex.
At which point I'll compromise with a $300 Tissot. Pro tip: It's best not to ask how much a present from your wife cost.

I have a couple of watches. First is a Tag Heuer Link Calibre 36 Tiger Woods which my father gave me for my birthday present recently...
Second is a Casio MTP-1192. My 14th birthday present from my mom...
Third is an Omega Speedmaster Michael Schumacher (includes his embossed signature at the back!) which used to be my father but since he realise that I'm a motorsport fan so he gave it to me. Anyway it now has something wrong with the mechanism and would die after a couple of hours unless being used.
Finally, a Lange and Sohne Glashutte which also used to be my father's. The watch looks fantastic but I rarely wear this because it looks too formal and classic...
