I like integrated bracelet watches, I think they deserve to be seen as a proper genre rather than a homage category. Also, it appeals to my inner 80's child which is probably also the reason I'm drawn to the Bulova Computron.

I love the Bamford x Snoopy collabs (and actually boought them!) . It's shameful, but I feel safe sharing it with you folks :D

I have a rainbow iridescent, "600m water resistant", 55mm wide & 23mm thick, double escape wheel, abalone dial Invicta monstrosity I got for about $80 on a cruise - it's positively obscene, the bracelet alone is 2mm away from being just as wide as my 35mm PRX, doesn't fit in the watch box, and it weighs about as much as every other watch in that watch box combined....but it's a hilarious bit of fun that I cant help but like.

I love the John Mayer Hoodwinkee (yes i spelled that correctly lol) G-Shocks... I'm a huge fan of the 6900 series as a whole but the JM variations are just fun. They make me feel like I'm still playing the watch game, yet wearing something that is rugged and fun.

I was never an apple watch person despite using iPhone and iPads since forever. I love my mechanical watches but was “forced” to use my wife’s series 6 apple watch for fitness purposes and found out why people love them. Its really an amazing tech minus the daily charging though.

The new prx digital, i like it more than most, other than casios there are not enough luxury quartz,let alone digital watches, so it's nice to see the swiss going more into it and some colorways are really nice like the gray on gray I also like the code 11:59, the case shape is unique and the dials are great, they are more than just a gateway to be in a royal oak wait list in my opinion And also aliexpress watches, of course they are not all made equal some are straight up trash, and others offer undeniable value, like if they offer faux vintage for discontinued watches, same goes for invicta, shocker right but here me out, in their catalog of hundreds, they have like 10 models that are worth checking out, plus you have a lot of choices with the colors

Early on in its history, Kobold made a chronograph that had Sinn 356 vibes and it was tempting to get in on the ground floor of a new brand. I’m not embarrassed that I liked the watch, but the bizarro-world that Kobold has become would have had me embarrassed that I had associated myself with the brand and that would have sullied the enthusiasm I had for that watch and the company. Glad I took a pass.

if not for being overpriced to high hell, my wrist would be 24/7 adorned with Hublot Big Bang and Richard Mille and I'm not even being ironic. I'm a mild mannered person who like to wear classy and subdued outfit, so a big, gaudy, blocky watch(that isn't actual $5 Chinese trash) is the only thing to assert any hope of personality that isn't "boring"

I can feel the disapproval amongst my friend group whenever I add a piece that are not from Rolex or the big 3. To them I am being stupid and loosing money in those watches and not being responsible with my money. To be honest, I love and respect Rolex and the big 3 but none of their pieces really speak to me unless they are ridiculously expensive (I have an expensive taste, I guess haha). I just ignore them I buy the watch that I love. I am happy to be the silly goose in the group. We like what we like, no need to be embarrass about that (unless it's an Hublot then shame on you)

I really love the Panerai Luminor Due. I know: a 42mm Panerai with 30m of water resistance is kinda ridiculous but honestly I don't care. I have a small wrist, but I really like Panerai. I cannot wear 44 mm or even bigger watches since I simply can't fit them. A 42 mm Panerai is the perfect solution and honestly I don't care if I can't take it while scuba diving: I wouldn't do even if it had 300 m WR
