I have an older Citizen day/date watch. Black dial with two-tone stainless/gold band. I've had it for almost 8 years now.
Now what I want is an Omega Seamaster Chronograph, w/ the Swiss automatic movement (none of that quartz stuff). Unfortunately the one I like costs nearly $2000. Oh and for the cell phone as your watch thing... a watch is also an accessory/piece of jewelry, a phone isn't. A good watch will last a lifetime, a phone won't.

While I covet my neighbor's watch (see Breitling above), I'm too hard on watches to drop that kind of jingle. I wear a cheap Timex Expedition to work and a ~US$100 Kenneth Cole when I'm not expecting to be required to lay the smack down.
I use my cell phone. Samsung t509. Its also my alarm clock, my calander, my home phone, calculator, unit converter, ruler (yes it has inches on the back!), portable camera, and basic internet while on the metro.
Because. It's a sense of pride. I worked for it and I felt like buying it with well earned money.

I should've reworded my comment earlier. I meant why as in what does it do for you. It looks pretty sophisticated and all, so again, what all does it do?
For private flying.. I can find fuel consumption very easily. Easy kmph to mph conversion. Sundial. Moon phases. Scratch resistant. Very long chronograph.
Thanks,

I wear a ultra crappy Casio just because I tend to beat the shit out of watches. The real reason for getting it was becuase I need a stop watch for a since project over three years ago, and figured why not get the cheapest, and it still works three years later.

Having a comparatively small wrist, most mechanical watches look like a failed attempt when I wear wear them. One of the few exceptions was this Union.
The second good thing is that the watch comes with movement developed and manufactured for the more expensive Glashuette Original watches only without being hand-polished and other things that only make the movement more expensive.

My baby:
An Axcent of Scandinavia X9000 Freeway. Mine has a regular wrist band though. Bought it onboard a SK MD87 heading from Manchester to CPH, and made a killing since they hadn't recalculated the exchange rates, paid with dollars which had taken a dive recently, and saved almost 50 bucks!
Cheers

Sure, we're concerned for our lives. Just not as concerned as saving 9 bucks on a roundtrip to Ft. Myers.
Wow, the same....Eco Drive WR 100 Black. Fueled by light!
