    How many guys still use watch to know the time? Nowadays time is available all around you especially if you own a mobile phone/mp3 player etc. Personally I wear watch and see now and then during discussion to show my displeasure at time managment

      The Windows system tray has become a rather addictive place to check time these days.

        Watch. Find it easier than having to drag the phone out of my pocket every time I need to know the, er, time. Besides, watches are more than just time pieces. Would not swap mine for anything. Well, almost anything...

                                  The Edifice series is for gentlemen (don't ask me why do I have one). So, you shouldn't expect those to last longer with rough usage. However, if you have to talk about toughness, take a look at some of the videos[^] in the G-Shock site. It will kick military grade's ass. :)

                                    Just took delivery of this[^] Linde Werdelin 3 Timer today. Haven't even unpacked it yet. It's not really about telling the time. It's about owning a piece of mechanical engineering and craft-work. Okay, this particular watch is not about the movement but more about design.

                                        Definitely a watch - it's not just about telling the time, it's about having a quality piece of engineering. In general, I don't think that men should wear jewellery (apart from a wedding band) so a watch is the only thing you can really wear to show off a bit of style. I bought an Omega Seamaster[^] - not the cheapest thing in the world (and pretty much my most prized possession) but definitely worth it.

                                          The Edifice series is for gentlemen (don't ask me why do I have one). So, you shouldn't expect those to last longer with rough usage. However, if you have to talk about toughness, take a look at some of the videos[^] in the G-Shock site. It will kick military grade's ass. :)

                                          I have a (broken) Tag Heuer 2000 series apparently most expensive watches have the same innards (ETA 2).
