Are you a lady? If no, don't wear a girl's watch. Unless you're also a transvestite, then it's ok.

That watch looks rather androgynous to me.

I wear an Omega Seamaster automatic. I bought it 6 years ago, and it has never been off my wrist. No maintenance, no battery replacement, nothing. Looks as good now as the day I bought it. You really can't beat a good Automatic watch when you just want something that 'works'.

My daily watch lately is a Casio atomic solar - solar powered Quartz and it gets the NIST shortwave time signal calibration every day from the Ft. Collins transmitter. Sure, I have a cell phone, but I'm not glued to it, so it's not always available (I either DO NOT have it on me at all, or have it turned off when in the theatre, in restaurants, etc.). Even when it is on and with me, it's a heck of a lot easier to glance down at my wrist then pull the phone out of it's holster, unlock it and wake up the screen just to check the time. I actually own several watches - Casio tough solar atomics, a couple of Seiko automatic divers, a Stowa manual wind,...
