Now that I'm retired, I've been on the lookout for an attractive field type quartz watch with a day/date complication. That led me to the Victorinox Field Force watch. This Swiss watch has stainless construction, a 42mm case, sapphire crystal, butterfly clasp with safety lock, Super-LumiNova hands and indices, Rhonda 517 Swiss quartz movement, and a 100 meter depth rating. It is a very solid, attractive looking watch. But…because of the thinner bezel, the dial is a bit too big looking for…

For about a decade now, my Omega Seamaster 2264.50 quartz has been my daily wear about 99% of the time. Early on, I had it on an aftermarket copy of the Speedy 5 link bracelet. I always loved the classy look it provided. But, it was a bit heavy. Somewhere along the line, I bought a brushed sharks mesh band for it off Ebay. I have loved it ever since. Here in Kentucky, the summers are humid and most watch bracelets/bands/straps can get pretty sticky to wear. But the sharks mesh breathes much…

I've been a watch person for about 15 years now. Not really a collector, just a person that likes watches and typically has a couple. Ages ago, I had a couple of automatics. But being of a much more practical type, I quickly got frustrated with finding them dead when I wanted to wear them and having to wind them, then set the time and date. So, at some point, the autos got sold and I now only buy quartz watches.

So about a year ago, after my recent divorce, since I didn't have a wife around to buy me a nice Christmas present, I decided to buy my first automatic watch- a Steinhart Ocean One black with ceramic bezel. When I got the watch, I was amazed at how nice it looked. Everything about the watch oozed quality. Mine ran pretty well right out of the box, but I'm a DIYer and tinkerer, so I ended up removing the case back a few times to tweak the regulating screw and got it to running within 1 second…

Yesterday afternoon, in preparations for the approaching storm front that was likely to produce tornados, my wife and I began putting together the items we would have on our person if a tornado were to hit our home. When it came time to put a watch on, I took a moment to truly consider my choice.

A little pretext...I'd helped with the tornado aftermath cleanup from the Dec. 2021 EF4 tornado that caused so much destruction to towns around us in western Kentucky. In Dawson Springs, KY, I...

As a micro-machine, I see the marvel in automatic watches. just small, precise parts, a tiny little spring, and arm movement to keep relatively good time. What's not to like, right? Well, there's the "relatively good time" thing. But for me, it's also about the fact that to keep the time set, one either has to wear the watch every day or two, or buy a watch winder. I've always commented that with automatics, I felt like I was baby-sitting my watch.
