What kinda watch do you use?

I just got a Pebble 2 Heart Rate cause I like buttons on a smartwatch and not tiny ass touchscreens. Plus it has a pretty good Metal Gear watchface.

My two real wristwatches I have are a stainless steel Rotary with a blue face like this:

which I got from my parents when I graduated, and another Rotary, this one is a chronograph, which was my Granddad's wristwatch and my Grandma gave it to me when he died last year:

I had one of the original Pebble watches, I guess I still have it somewhere because I never threw it away. I had a couple actually, because the early ones had a problem where the screen would slowly get more and more corrupted with garbage, and they replaced mine a couple of times and never asked me to mail the busted ones back. They still "worked" in terms of the software was running OK, but the screen was unreadable. After the last pebble broke, I gave up on it and bought a Sony Smartwatch 3 which I wore for a long time as my daily watch, but I have been using my fitbit as a watch for ages because it's inconvenient and weird having two watches on the same arm and looks stupid putting them on opposite hands.

I use a Timex Expedition as my wristwatch. My step-grandfather gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago.

I have a couple nearly identical Casios I rotate through. Custom watchbands because I hate metal link bands and the rubber straps tend to fall apart (I guess I sweat acid)

Like @Some JERK, I also collect watches, because they're just pretty. There's something special about opening up a really nice time piece and seeing it's workings.
Atm I'm using my semi-newly acquired :

It's a Chanel classic and keeps time really well.

That' s really nice. Ladies' watches these days seem to have much cleaner designs than a lot of men's watches. I think it's because men's watches are trending bigger (42mm+), and they've got to do something with all of that real estate or it just looks weird.

Tissot Quickster is my daily on a black NATO strap. If I remember (cue never) I'll snap a shot.
I have a bout a dozen watches myself. Mostly Seikos as they are so nice and bang for buck is just the best.
One day I'll treat myself to a Speedy pro, but my next will be a Rolex Air king.
