3 Tissots, and auto Swatch and some others. The only one that gets worn is the Timex Expedition when doing sports.
My wife has at least 2 dozen... A couple of Tissots, some Swatch and a lot of fashion watches. She wears her rolex most of the time, but does wear certain others when matching accessories.

I LOVE Watches. The watches along the top are my husbands. The ones in the middle and bottom belong to me...I have a $30 Rumor watch, 2 Seikos, 1 Bulova and 1 Tag. So my watches run the gammit from $30 to $10,000 and I love them all. I wore the Seiko stainless sport watch for 10 years and it looks as good as when I bought it. It is on the left and the watch above it is my husband's Seiko Kinetic. I got him a new Kinetic Seiko when I bought my Tag a few years ago.

I regularly wear the UNBEATABLE Casio G-Shock GWM5600-1
Got it for $100 from a dealer not a few months ago and it is actually among my favorite watches. It does everything I could ever want in a watch while keeping a cool look and total durability. ![]() |

The thing is once you have worn a quality watch and put a cheap 1 on it just isn't the same.I don't know how to explain the feeling other than you feel like somethings missing.I have been wearing my GMT since my teens and since I started with that cheap don't cut it. Having said all that I have a cheap IWI Marine Diver that I actually like and wear sometimes.I bought it to see If I would like the Panerai but after wearing it I saw no need to spend another 4k for a Panerai as I felt the other 4k doesn't justify it.So I kept it and its my cheap watch.

While my Omegas and Rolex are my favorite watches, I also have numerous Seiko Divers and also a Zodiac dress watch. I love my Seiko divers and wear them often. Here are a couple. The second one down is the 6309-7040 and was made in 1978. It is 100% original and has been serviced only twice. Seiko does make really good watches.

I normally buy them for the way they look or function, not the price. I wear all of the watches noted below to include a Timex Ironman bought last weekend.

Sure do! I still have a SS Seiko that I still love to use for work. It was my favorite watch up until 3 weeks ago. I'm not getting rid of it. For $131, it served me faithfully for over 7 years. As a matter of fact, I'll be wearing it for the next 2 days.

yep. Have a few cheap watches. They were either given as a gift when I was "younger" or was bought for its intended use - knock around watch.
My cheapest is £7.50 casio digital. |

Various swatches that I sleep in and wear to the gym. They break every couple of years so I just replace them with another one. It's funny how Swatch always has designs that seem to imitate classic watches, like they always have a speedmaster copy etc

My cheap watches get more wrist time than my expensive ones.
