Please Reply If You Love Your Watch.

I have a Seiko and I love it. I've had it six years. It was a gift from my spouse when we were dating and it means a lot to me.

Last night a patient in DT's ripped it right off of my arm and broke it.

When I left he was in leather restraints. Don't mess with me.

I'll get the watch fixed. But Seiko is a good brand, been around a billion years, looks good and but doesn't have many bells and whistles. I just need to know the time, date and have a second hand.

I had a Swiss Army - nice big face, both 12 hr and 24 hr markers, sweep second hand. Left it at the health club 2 wks ago and it's gone. But I anticipate buying another. I think it was about $200 about 5 years ago. It was a fantastic watch. When I bought it, the saleswoman told me that lots of nurses buy this brand because it's easy to read and has the nice second hand. Sold me.

I have had my seiko since 1980, never has needed to be repaired. Battery is good for a few years it seems.

cut and paste from another post of mine...

my favorite watch is a quartz and it has a white genuine leather strap, a sweeping second-hand and in the center it has a red heart {love} a capital red {"a"} and the word in red lettering {"nurse"}.

I have a really nice Seiko, but I actually prefer the large dial Timex I bought at Walmart for 11.98. It had an expansion band, was waterproof, sweep second hand, huge face with actual numbers and military time in smaller numbers just behind. It also had indiglo. I think it was called the Easy Reader.

I love my K-mart watch. I have had it for about 4 years (which is a long time for me to keep a watch !) and never once had to change the battery or anything on it. It costed a whopping 10 bucks and has a sweeping second hand and is very durable. JMO

I absolutely love Swatch watches. They just keep going and going and going.....plus they're reasonably priced so i have several to match whatever color I'm wearing, i.e. black, red, navy, plaid, etc.

I like my watch, it is a man's model Fossil, silver with a light blue face with glow in the dark numbers and sweeping second hand. I used to wear watches with leather bands but with constantly washing hands, the leather was always wet which was irritating. Besides, after a while the leather started to stink from always being damp. A big bonus is that my watch is water resistant which obviously is great for handwashing:)

I have to second both NAVYNURSE29 and SUZY253 on their watch choices

I love Fossil - they have some really nice looking men's watches (and women's) just bought one for hubby for christmas since his old one (not fossil) crapped out

And I have owned several Swatch and they do just seem to keep going and going....

Indiglo, date, second hand....
