Curious what everyone thinks about this collab between Swatch and Audemars Piguet.

Is this going to be another hit like the MoonSwatch, or just hype that fades away?

Would you actually try to get one?

Let’s see what everyone’s wearing today.

Curious what got you into watches in the first place, because everyone has a different story.

Was it your first watch? A gift? The design? The craftsmanship? Or maybe a memory?

Let me know!

Trying to find the best simple, everyday watch without overpaying.

Curious what you’d pick if you had to choose just one.

Eddie Bauer quartz watch, thrifted, vintage. Maybe from the late ‘90s or early 2000s. Keeps great time in the month or so that I’ve had it.

Let's be honest here. Not every watch needs to be a statement.

There's something freeing about wearing a watch you have zero anxiety about. No second-guessing before you start digging in the garden, working on the car or leaving the house in general.

There is unarguably a time to wear a Seiko/Tissot/Citizen/Orient etc. but slapping a good ol' fashioned simple watch on your wrist, just feels right.

I was looking for a simple field watch as an upgrade from my beloved Expedition Scout. I saw this and checked the reviews and decided to pull the trigger. Oh man is this a sweet little watch. 38mm, 100m WR, screw down crown, domed sapphire crystal. The VH31 movement makes the seconds hand "sweep", not your usual 1 tick per second from a quartz. It's extremely accurate, i've had it for about 2 months and just before I posted I checked against my phone, 3 seconds slow. The only thing is the lume could be better, fades fairly quickly. That's a compromise I'm willing to live with because I absolutely love this watch.

A simple military field watch with a Ronda quartz movement and a date complication. Despite being at least 20 years old, it’s still accurate to less than five seconds per month.
