It's About Time

Greetings:

I need your help. Looking for timepieces- particularly wristwatches and would value your opinion. I like you have on often needed to note the time. There are a myriad of reasons for this and an equally large number of ways to meet the need to mark time. I am looking for advice on the more important features of a wearable timepiece; size, strap type, buttons, visibility, durability, comfort, start/stop, glows, backlit, ability to snag everything imaginable etc. What do we need in a watch? Favorite product/brand names, if allowed, would be helpful.

Do you use more than one wristwatch? One for use while at work, and a different one when off? Surely you have a helpful opinion for all of us. Please tell us about your opinions/observations regarding wristwatches and why they're important to you.

Thanks you for all of your help.

    Please,

    Let me rephrase the question.

    Do you wear a watch while working? I recently read a watch review that suggested watches by profession. The watch recommended for nursing looked as if it requires a scribe that was versed in technology just so the wearer could tell what time it was.

    I'm looking to purchase a new watch, and while I like you have preferences I realize it's also important to learn from others. Do you prefer a simple timepiece or something more sophisticated? I would really appreciate some input on the subject from any of the nurses out there.

    Thanks,

    Something simple with a seconds hand that you can see. Also watch has to be waterproof

    Stretchy strap, one that I can push up my arm when I wash.

    I also buy them cheap. I beat the daylights out of them, so when they stop, they owe me nothing. Will just buy a new one rather than spend the money for battery replacement.

    Just FYI --- I've read where some places are banning wristwatches for inf control reasons.
