Here's my current go-to lineup:





(wear this when wearing scrubs and working in the OR)

Rubber-banded watch is my missing link (no pun intended).

A little too busy for me, but it's not a bad watch at all.

I just always have. Even as a kid, I remember noticing men's watches and liking the ones that had stuff all over the face.

Do you like Luminox watches?

Just curious, they are of similar style to the subject watch in the OP. It's the watch I wear.

From your collection the 2nd is my favorite with the embossed leather. The big black one is too much.

Never looked at Luminox.

That pic makes the black Diesel look huge but it's really not that big.

And, do they make automatic or mechanical watches? I don't like quartz.


The Eco-Drive is automatic movement, powered by sunlight or artificial light sources.

Watch is a little busy for me, and I hate rubber bands. I threw the rubber band for my Seiko Orange Monster away and put an orange and blue NATO strap on it, looks great.

I was under the impression that Eco-Drive watches are quartz. It doesn't make sense for them to be mechanical or automatic because by definition these watches do not use electricity.

Same here. I used to like the ones with the 8 different things showing....but it's just too busy for my liking now.

They are. They have a "rechargeable battery" inside of them. When it goes bad, you do have to replace it. I know fo a fact

Wade don't know what he's talking about. Automatic or Kinetic is a mechanical movement that is wound by movement. Eco drive is a battery that is charged by the sun.
