Watches aren't needed as they used to be, unless you read pulses.

Needed? No. I have a cell phone to tell time if I 'need' to. Look good, yes. And there's no room in the closets for shoes on account of my wife... but that's about to change.

I love my Citizen Eco watch! Solar powered, never needs batteries, stylish and have never had any problems with it whatsoever! I have had it for over 6 years now. I still wear it to work every day. My wife bought me a Rolex for my birthday so I wear that one whenever I am not at work. I don't want to get harassed. LOL.

Im a watchaholic as well! Right now I have 3 watches in Rotation.

The first on is a Tag Heuer aquaracer. I wanted a Tag for as long as I liked watches and my amazing wife bought me one for Christmas a couple years ago.

My everyday watch is a Nixon rotolog a great mid level watch that I get many compliments on

My third one is my geek/workout watch, and it's a motorola motoactv that I modified to run the android os honeycomb as well as the original motoactv software. Let's me play angry birds and log my workouts at the same time

DONE! With money left over. Maybe I'll just keep the tank! Wait, no... I don't want to move it... and everything keeps dying on me.

Not really a display piece but it takes as much as it gives...

I would look at in a lower price catagory, Tissot, Hamilton, Movado, Rado

Then Omega or Tag

Costco has some great pricing on Tag, Omega and a few other models

I have a cheap Casio dive watch, that I wear on holidays (Scubadiving)

Personally I own 2 Vintage Omegas, 1 Vintage Tudor Oyster (Rolex)
1 Breitling

I just had my other Breitling stolen, I was looking at the new Breitlings, don't like the new ones, so I replaced it with a Rolex Daytona about 3 weeks ago.
Gemoro special ordered it in, since their display had a barely noticable scratch on the bracelet, plus the gave me a very small discount on the Rolex and through in an appraisal, I had a new appraisal done on my other Breiting, since the last ones were done a long time ago at Swedish Jewellers.
