its not about how many you buy and how often, its about the quality tbh

Quartz watches should theoretically last a looooooooooooong time though!

I don't buy watches that often but recently bought a Magrette Moana Pacific Diver and really like it.

That is a nice watch, the styling isn't what I would choose but still I can appreciate the appeal.

I don't really wear watches, but always think I would if I had a nice one, but then, I wouldn't want to wear it at work, so I just end up not wearing one at all! lol! I have a couple cheap "functional" watches - however I haven't worn them for years!

That looks great though Joe, seems a good price too!

I have a citizen too. I have a Skyhawk Titanium



I love it and have had absolutely no problems with it at all. Well... apart from the fact that it seems I am mildly allergic to it. I can wear my steel banded watches fine, but after a few days with this I get red, itchy blotches on my wrist... must be allergic to titanium... (actually just read about titanium allergy and it's an interesting read...)

Anyhow, I think I got a bargain. I bought it about 3 years ago (as a 40th birthday present from the missus) for £350... it looks like they are still more than that to buy new now

I have an old Seiko Kinetic AutoRelay which I really like though there are some nice citizen divers, especially the Citizen Orca. This is the moana pacific.
