What kind of watch do you have?

[r0ckyreed]

I currently use the Garmin Instinct 2x Solar and have been using it for the past year and it’s awesome!

I am in the market for an upgrade and was wanting to know what kind of watch you all use.

Please post the watch that you use and why you like it.

I was considering upgrading to the Garmin Fenix 8 or Tactix 8 or waiting until the next gen (Fenix/Tactix 9) comes out.

I am planning on getting into more adventure stuff like scuba diving and skydiving, so it seems to fit for me to upgrade.

I don’t mind spending $1,000 on a watch as long as it has good functionality, health metrics, and quality. Rolex watches are an overpriced scam.

I'm a fan of pieces with true horological purity so I avoid anything Swiss or too standard. Currently rocking an ultra-rare, hand-molded Polymer Calibre 1998. The movement features an integrated zero-jewel escapement, zero VPH frequency, and a 100% in-house plastic chassis. The lug-to-lug wears a bit light, but the vintage patina on the dial speaks for itself.

Found it at the bottom of a Lucky Charms box I bought while shit faced day drinking, one of the other ones I was looking at talking to an authorized dealer didn't pan out so this one is my main piece at the moment.

For fitness a basic Garmin Vivoactive 5 on the left, and usually some sort of mechanical on the right. I have a few - these are just some:

Mix of mech/quarts - Seiko I just like, Pierce (wartime watch I restored given to me by my late grandfather), Longines (nurses watch), and an Australian Olma with swiss internals. Peirce are a unique watchmaker that made their own movements and, if I recall correctly, first created a vertical faced chronograph. Casio digital bling mode

I really like unusual watches. But mechanical watches are a BITCH because servicing and upkeep are $$$. But they last - the Pierce is almost 100 years old!! Works perfectly
