What's some of your favorite watches? I really like Kinetic watches; so I'm curious to hear what brands/styles people like

I'm not super super picky, but I tend to prefer simpler, affordable watches that are built rather tough and have a really long battery life. None of that smart watch crap either.

My current watch is a Casio WS-1300H, and it looks like it's possibly built so tough that you could probably drive a car over it and it would probably only get a couple scratches. Though I won't be trying that of course.

And it's advertised to have up to a 10 year battery life, as long as I don't use the backlight too often.

But basically any watch that meets these criteria is good in my book. Preferable colors are between black, grey, silver, and/or blue.

I'm glad to see another watch/clock/timepiece community, subscribed!

I’m right there with you, on not liking smart watches. I feel like often they loose the elegance of traditional watches
