^^^ It's dead accurate. I've only had to reset it once in months, and that was when I let it run almost all the way down. Other than that, if you set it to a phone, and keep it wound, it nails it.

I often think of the watchmakers in 1890s Massachusetts, sitting there making something that works this well more than 100 years later.

They're quartz right ?  I wouldn't pay more than $19.95 for a quartz watch.

But it's seriously the most functional watches ever.

*Solar-powered w/ long battery life = lasts forever

*Automatically backlit when wrist is raised and tilted

*World atomic/radio time syncing

*Multi timezone

*Alarm, Timer, Stopwatch, Sunrise/Sunset, Altimeter, Barometer, Compass

*Takes an absolute ass kicking and kicks back

Different strokes of course. They can stick a lot in those things I know.  OK... $29.95.

That NATO in the Seamaster is really sweet man

Thinking the same thing.  I have a blue Seamaster that I need to go ahead and get a strap for.  It was my "first nice watch" that I purchased, probably 15+ years ago.  Be a nice change.  Do you order direct?  Or are they carried @ places that carry/work on Omega's?

Any G Shock wearers....thinking about one of these in white or black. Pretty versatile beater for the dough.

Love mine.  Been wearing it as much, if not more than my other more expensive Swiss watches.  Biggest factor has been the stop-watch/timer (gym & kids sports) and how I can beat it up and not worry about scratches, etc @ the gym, yard word, ranch work.  

Will probably replace with Suunto Traverse Alpha (GPS function, auto shot detection) for hunting season.

I got mine from Barton, direct from their website. Quality seems good, price was reasonable, and it's cool that they're in Austin.

Decided on the Sinn 356, but it won't be in for a few more weeks.  Thought it had a lot of character and would be versatile to wear in different settings.

Nice, hard to beat a leather strap.

Alright folks, want your input here. Thinking about the next piece to add to the collection (or two depending on price) and want some input from the group because I’m struggling to decide.

Currently have the following:

Here’s what’s on my mind lately. Thoughts? Anything I’m missing and should consider?

I'd consider Ulysses Nardin 
And Glashutte Original 

GO PML is a solid one as well.

If I ever go for another higher end watch GO is on my top 3 list.  Their name says to all... Glashutte Original. Their design is unique, and well executed.

Glashutte Original makes great pieces. I highly recommend Walter Lange's autobiography for anyone into watches from the Glashutte region.

Did a quick scan of this thread and didn't see this question so sorry if it was discussed. I'm a confessed novice when it comes to watches. I know some of the big names but not much else. Are the watches on mvmt.com any good? Are they worth it for what they cost? I know they're nothing like what's on this thread, but what about for just an everyday watch?

What is this?  IWC doesn't make a no logo watch, do they?

Might as well throw one in the bonfire:  Richard Mille watches look like they should be sold from mall kiosks.

No one disagrees.  Or can afford them.  Or better stated, should afford them.

I guess we can start a popular opinion thread.

So everyone has nice watches. What's the issue?

I don't know but it was amusing to watch.
