Ask HN: What watch do you wear?
I'm interested in buying a watch, I would love to hear the favourites among HN.
- Justsignedup 8y agoThe best kind of watch. A phone. Kinda big though, so I keep it in my pocket. =) Edit: I always hated wearing watches. My dad been trying to get me to, but it never stuck.
- smarri 8y ago:)
- rajeshmr 8y agoCasio G-Shock. But really you should buy a watch that suits your sense of style and personality.
- smarri 8y agoI have a G-Shock too, great for sports. Indeed good advice!
- lsiunsuex 8y agoApple Watch Series 3 daily. Bought the girl friend a Series 4 for her birthday and she has quite literally not taken it off but to charge it. She sleeps with it to track that; works out with it, etc... Otherwise, for fancy occasions and I don't want to be notified of every little text or email - my collection consists of a Tag Heuer Formula 1, a white faced Tissot (a classic looking watch), an all black Citizens (think it's the night hawk or something like that) and a black Movado.
- smarri 8y agoNice choices! I'll take a look at those non apple watches to refresh my memory. Not familiar with Movado so looking forward to checking it out!

- snazz 8y agoI have had two Timex Ironman (Ironmen?) in the last 14 years and the last one survived ten of those years. I really hate charging yet another thing so a ten-year battery life is pretty good (of course it depends on how much you use the Indiglo feature, primarily). They’re also much more durable than Fitbits, which are my only other data point.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoRight this moment? A Casio Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF. I think most high accuracy quartz watches are pretty cool, as is the silver dial Rolex OP Date (34mm), a year-2000-or-so black dial Air King, certain Tissot Powermatic 80 watches, the Grand Seiko SBGR253, the Sinn UX, the Casio MTP-1274, and the Casio GWM5610.
- smarri 8y agoI just looked at these watches, great choices. Watches for someone who knows about watches.
