Got a STRAP-ON? Remember to TAKE IT OFF at WORK

Re: Don't buy a crap watch

I like to collect watches no one else would, and in my small collection I have two Casio wave ceptors (one steel and another titanium) and a Citizen similar to one above (without titanium body). Casios are lighter, but Citizen is nice too although larger and not quite as readable. They all show accurate to 1s time without need to bother about daylight time changes, batteries etc. - just keep them next to window where radio signal is good and there's enough light to maintain charge.

I also travelled with all of them (at different times) on the other side of pond, and one has to remember to change home city (which is simpler in Citizen) to have accurate time soon after arrival.

Titanium watch is worst for wear after only 1 year of use - it turns out it's actually very soft metal. Unless treated with special coating which my Casio watch does not have.
