I stumbled upon this good price for a Tag

http://www.amazon.com/TAG-Heuer-Aquaracer-...8558214&sr=1-22

I"m not a watch person. I wear a 150 dollar casio pathfinder.

Are yous guys into watches?

I wear a Timex that I bought for $30 back in 1991. I never understood the fascination with watches so many people possess. Is it the exclusivity? The durability? The features? Or something else?

i always wanted a decent looking watch, but nothing too crazy expensive. graduation gift was a swiss army watch which is good enough and i don't plan to replace any time soon.

and that is a nice deal on a tag... mm

I just need one good, solid watch. Metal with a metal band so it can withstand anything, and I don't need a chronograph.

Raj, since I know you're on 6speed. Check out l4p (luxury4play.com) they have a whole section dedicated to watches.

With that said, TAG's are generally not that great of a watch to those guru's.. and even the guys with 10 Pam's recommend a good "Stater" watch is a Hamilton. (Can be had for ~$500-1200).



Also, PM Riley, board sponsor rijowysock, he's a watch genius.

I just can't imagine spending that kind of money on a quartz watch. Never been a fan of Tag's for that reason, although that is some serious money off.

My wife never knows what to get me so I've received several nice watches over the last few years. I'd never spend the money myself. My favorite is a Seiko that she got me as a wedding gift. I also still enjoy an old G-Shock that I've beaten the shit out of and still looks and works like brand-stanking new.
