For work - cheap round Times Expedition.
For dress - a Movado black faced one and I also have a square faced one that I like don't remember the name.
I have been looking at the Invicta watches ... but I have a small wrist and most if not all of their watches are rather large! Next thing you know we will have Grandfather clocks on our wrists!!!!! LOL
For everyday I wear a Timex and for the weekend Relic with a square black face and band or a Fossil with a round silver and black face and band. Yes I will spend sometimes more than usual for one. I'm a cheapskate.
Yes, I do like a nice watch around a guy's wrist although I'm less concerned about how much it costs than if he actually uses his watch to be punctual!
Of late, Patek Philippe has really bowled me over with the look of their timepieces. Or perhaps it was their slew of brilliant print adverts that did it - they encapsulate timelessness very well. Their 5-figure price range makes it inaccessible to the masses though.
Brands like Frederique Constant look just as nifty but are more affordable.
Apart from statement pieces, I love Swatch as well - real Swiss watches at a bargain!
I think the men's Blue Rebel design is simple but elegant.x
If I am doing a consulting gig, I wear the Rolex in gold and steel. It is pretty much consulting uniform, to tell the client that you expect at least a certain size fee. But the all gold or watches or the ones with diamonds are generally considered naff.
I did buy a cheap watch at CostCo when I was going to Brazil. Paid $75 for it, now it sells for $500 on EBay because its considered collectable. So for everyday use I bought a Seiko Solar. It doesn't need battery replacement and it has a sapphire crystal face so it doesn't scratch.
Skagen for thin, Android for big (from shop NBC), and when I hit the megabucks slot machine, vianney halter deep space triple axis tourbillion for stupid hypnotic mechanical engineering that makes it impossible to look away. YouTube it. You will drool and plot to rob a bank.
I've never enjoyed wearing watches, especially in light of how quickly their batteries die when I wear them on a regular basis. Pocket watches however are a different story all together.
Personally, I only buy watches that tell time in binary. They cost 10-20 bucks and last a good couple of years usually. I've considered getting a high-end one, but then it wouldn't be binary. What's the fun if it's not a binary watch?
And I've only begun fucking with you people.
At the end of the day, it's all math.
I ONLY Wear Breitling Watches.
I like the Citizen watches...mine is (obviously) a women's watch, but is stainless steel with markings in both Arabic numerals and military time.

For me - Do your job, deliver what you promise and you'll get your fee! Hell I don't care if you wear a sundial! LOL
I love watches. I'm a big fan of ceramic ones.
I only wear fossil watches and I am currently one if their leather 30th anniversary special edition ones it's brilliant.
I own sever but usually wear the same 2 or 3 most
For work. Movado silver/gold band
For going out: Tag Haeur silver band
And for beach time I have a Swatch
My father bought himself an Omega Seamaster back in the '60s, which is a treasured family heirloom. The steel band's not really my style though.
I like a good quality dive watch, but a bit more dressy than chunky/sporty. Steel case, black face and definitely a black leather band, although the leather doesn't stand up long to the punishment I put them through, often sending me off for a replacement. I'm not a teenager anymore, so the plastic/rubber is a no go.
Form versus function I suppose.
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill.
