Mine would be and is, a Timex that cost less than $50 and works. All it has to do is let me know what time it is.

I wish my Timex could last a season of fishing - I go through a couple bands a season and the mechanism itself about once per year - But dreamwatch - I'll take (and probably break) the Breitling

john,
being a watch fanatic, i have used and seen the pro and cons of a lot of them

One watch that you cannot kill....whether its fishing or yardwork is a swiss army...stands you about 125-200

I've had one since college..a new battery ever 2-3 years good to go

I beg to differ.
my swiss army watch sucked. leakey, scratched easy, face discolored. total POS.
I actually have it in a box sitting next to my computer with a nasty letter that I keep procrastinating sending.

SOME DAY i will have a yachmaster. until then i will use my cellphone.

i bent my wookie

could be a defective piece? send it back with a not so nasty letter and I'm sure they'll be good to you

letter isn't all that nasty. i was being hyperbolic. it is more of a butt kissing, your watch is so great, i don't know what could be wrong, could you please replace it type letter.

but there is more than one issue with it.

it leaked and there is condensation inside. the face is all discolored. the glass scratches and chipped easily.
