Anyone here into Watches? Post up your collection

My older lad has a watch which
is sync'd with his phone . . .

He can read texts ,
emails and check
data on it . . .

The screen is so small
that even with glasses
on it is hard to read . . .









:shocked:

I haven't worn a watch since cell phones became popular. Other than at work, I really dont care too much about time.
That being said. My grandmother passed away early this year and one of the items willed to me was her grandfather's pocket watch. He was a train engineer. About 10 years ago my father had it restored and put in this case. She also had the grandfather clock that he brought with him from Germany, but my aunt got that.
Proud to display this in my living room.

I love watches but i do not waste money on them. I wear a gear s 3 frontier.
 
I have a few that are stored away. But my daily wearer is a Seiko Astron; full titanium and ceramic. Cause I travel a lot, it hooks into the gps system for date/time.
 
I knocked my old watch I had off my wrist by catching it on an access door to a walk in freezer while lifting a 50 lbs case of haddock,, it flew high through the air, landed on a tile floor, the second hand fell off and then I attempted to repair it and I ruined the stem.

I'm an idiot
LOL

So i bought a new one. Automatic 1000ft water proof, stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, mother of pearl dial
Paid 163$
249$ msrp through Worldofwatches.com

Garmin running watch,
Wife was on vacation in France and bought me a Swatch with a see thru mechanicals so you can see the workings , being a machinist she thought I would like it.
since I am a machinist ,and most of the machines I deal with are “citizen’s”. I would love a citizen watch someday when I stop bleeding money into other hobbies
