      I LIKE that one! I’ve got Army green ('87), white (new) and a gold one with a leather band (new).

      Gf got me a G Shock a couple of months ago! Much love. Got a better band for it, but that’s my outdoor activities watch. Tough, waterproof, suitable for whatever, kayaking, camping, beach, anything.

      Never tried a Tissot. What do you like?

      And yeah, I’m 52. The watches I had as a kid were shit. I remember dad drilling me to take them off to wash my hands. I have that G Shock underwater 3 times a week, and sometimes salt water.

        I’d really like a vintage Rolex at some point. I just like them. A friend gifted me a broken Breitling. I ended up getting it repaired for $200. I love it. I’m not a fancy watch guy but I really appreciate them. The Breitling I wear a few times per month. I could see getting an omega at some point too.

        The Tissot is my daily work watch. Classy. Professional. I dress up a bit more than most but I like the look. The watch totally ties it all together, unlike some silly apple watch.

        G Shock is my weekend / outdoor watch. I love how sturdy it is. I’ve got a few odd ball fun watches that come out occasionally too.
