Never mind - Just fixed it! Felt weird not wearing it!

Mines an "Omega Seamaster" reassuringly expensive but well worth the price in terms of reliability and quality...

So you can see where North is of course (although not on a digital).

I've got a fake Rolex Oyster I bought in Quito in 1995, and it's still going strong. Not only that the counter-clockwise rotating second hand is always a talking point.

I have one just like it! Tough as nails. I wear it everyday, it is a part of my arm.

I use a Swiss Army watch that I bought in a sale, over twenty years ago for £19.00.

Every other year I replace the battery and that's it.

Totally reliable, small, tough, waterproof and always accurate. What else would you want from a watch?

Oh, and it's analogue type, rather than these new fangled digitals, they'll never catch on , tee hee.

A few years ago I tried to point out a hot air balloon from the car, to a young passenger. I said 'look at the balloon at our three o'clock low'. He looked at his watch and said 'how did I know a balloon would be there in two hours?'. Class. We still chuckle over that one.

I use an Omega Seamaster that I've had for about 16 years. Unfortunately the last twice it has gone to Swatch to have the battery changed it has needed servicing so I'm struggling to justify keeping it. On the plus side it is superbly accurate.

I also use a SUUNTO Vector - it too has loads of good points.

If anyone else has a decent place to get batteries replaced let me know.
