I have the Citizen titanium Eco-Drive Skyhawk. It's excellent.

I've got a $26,000 Patek Phillippe, but only paid $15 for it at the 580.

Just bought the Casio (Japanese for "cheap") GW2500-1A online for $165. I liked the fact that I can display UTC digitally constantly, and local time via automatic updates IF you're near the transmission sites in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and China. That should keep me out of trouble for now. Thanks for your thoughts...I'll let you know how this works out in the weeks ahead.

My watch tells me how much time left until "last call"

That has been my watch of choice for almost 20 years. But I finally made the switch to an Ironman. It has many other functions, but the one thing I liked is that the numbers can be illuminated. Which was great during an airport stand by!

I don't wear a watch. My Phone tells time and so does the plane I fly. it's amazing how many clocks there are if you care what time it is. No problem for me since I'm always near my phone or a computer...
