The one I currently have, I simply walked into a luxury watch shop and told him my requirements: smaller than a Citizen/Rolex (which are obnoxiously huge IMHO) and all titanium (I hate steel - too heavy). He pointed me to this one, and Im VERY happy with it.

Oceanus OCWP500TDA-1A1

A short list of features:

Auto-receives time-updates up to 6 times a day
Able to set it to time zones, rather than just "setting the time". Can have multiple quick time-zones set if I wish, and a base "home" time zone
Solar Powered
Case is pure titanium with a satin polish
Band is also pure titanium
Bezel has a titanium hard-coating on it
Sapphire crystal

cool watch..i just hope that i can buy that too..how much?

I'm one of them. Most durable, reliable, functional and accurate watch ever created. I have this watch for 6 years now, been to war & back in 100+ degrees weather, zero degrees weather, 24 hours sandstorm that causes you to cough up mud the next morning, endure extreme shock (from weapons firing), etc...

After all that, it still works like a charm & 100% accurate due to it synchronize with the atomic clock every night. Never need a battery since it charges via solar power, have night light function, record time memo (useful for Law enforcement of documenting when something happened), stop watch, 4 alarms, time zone of every country.

Sounds useful. I might have to look at one for my next deployment. Here's mine.

I like Fossils too. I use this one to go out with.

I usually wear it with my ceramic tungsten bracelet.

Left one out for running and biking.

MightyBobo · 08-12-2009, 10:17 AM

I have seen so many Fossil watches crap out, I will never ever buy one.

True, but they are cheap. I think I paid $60 for mines, broke once went back and got another for free.

We put on a demo for the pro bowl players and one of them had a chanel J12 watch on. I liked it but my wife would probably tell me to

if I came home with one.

MightyBobo · 08-12-2009, 07:09 PM

Man wearing a Chanel watch? Just hand that card over right now...

smurfblu13 · 08-12-2009, 11:16 PM

As much as I'd say I agree in some respects, if you like it, rock it's on your wrist lol. Not a bad looking piece but not my cup of tea.

IMWEZL · 08-13-2009, 02:45 AM

Haha yeah that's why I didn't get one.
