I signed up for Deep Blues email spam, and that was an offer for doing it.

I've got two main watches that I wear daily (and a few that get very occasional use).

I wear a blue face 516 as my daily watch. Love it.

I really like that one.

Tissot seems to offer great value, for those wanting a *real* watch but aren't in the market for one of the frontline luxury brands.

Thank you, and yes, I agree. My wife actually surprised me with a Tag one day (for my birthday or something) and I went back to the shop with her and exchanged it for two Tissots (one for her). I felt like the Tissot was just as good (certainly for what I would need it for), yet half the price. The ONLY complaint I have is that the automatic movement generally stops overnight, so I have to reset it just about every morning. I suspect if I wasn't sitting in front of a computer every day this wouldn't be the case, of course.

Buy a watch winder.

 

[el diablo]

Well, you gave up a good watch TAG for 2 middling ones in Tissot ( I own both). If you wear it (Tissot) for a day ( 12 hours) and are not bed ridden that should power it for 40 hrs or so. I like my Tissot. It's my beater ( meaning I wouldn't think twice about wearing it when barrelboardng Niagara Falls).
I (needed) to add more ( ) to (my ) post.

Naah, I just can't do that on principle. The whole point of the self winder is so I don't need a battery, and then I have to plug in the winder every night? Seems really ironic.

My Bulova auto winder is generally good for about two days before it needs wound. More than two consecutive days of not wearing it, it needs to be set. It winds quickly when you wear it though. I can put it on, walk through the house, then set it, and it's good to go.

My Citizen is solar powered and sets itself with the atomic clock, so I never have to worry about setting it.

Still, there's something about the Bulova that I like a little more than the Citizen. Maybe it's because the Bulova was a birthday present from Mrs. P.
