depends how much you want to spend, i look at watches at status symbols as many do,

if your going for nice brands. ($600+)
- movado
- tissot
- tag
- bauman-mercier (sp)

if yor going for function and decent quality (>$200)
- nike
- swatch
- timex

Dopest watch ever. It will work great for your outdoorsy job and even better when you're skiing.

There's a reason he said "WM" instead of posting a link or even saying the full name.....

I have a 15 dollar armitron from target and a 900 dollar tag heuer, both of which I really like. My advice is either get something really nice or something you don't give a crap about whatever happens to it. Why spend 40 for a watch thats essentially the same as something thats 15? I have found that the mid priced watches never perform well or to the standard I feel they should

different models work in different ways. but for example, this watch works by having a circle with 12 dots, and the amount of dots filled in is the hour, and the bar on the bottom is split into 60 pieces, and the amount of dark pieces is the minute. pretty much all the watches are like that, more or less.

Omega watches are cool, they're really expensive though. but they were the first and only watches on the moon, and James Bond's watch. Breightling's are cool too, also expensive.

Citizen makes some pretty nice watches from around 150-700 dollars. The eco-drives that they make are pretty nice, they're solar powered or something, i have one myself which I got for around 475. Casio makes some nice cheaper ones and they make a lot of decent look-alikes if you want a rolex looking one.

i have worn nikon, timex, fossil, esq, movado and sold them all to get a oakley timebomb and a crush.

Nixon just put out a series thats only $50, basically just solid colors, sort of like the DC Shoes that are all one color.  It comes in red, green, blue, and white I think.  The white one looks pretty sick.  You don't want a nice expensive watch for doing zip lining anyway it'll get all scratched.  Your a chick though aren't you?

This is most likely a fail posting, but if not it's a Nixon Rotolog. I'm getting it and I'm rather stoked on it! It looks so different, it's classy but eye catching I think. But it's probably not a watch you'd wanna take outdoors all day, might be too expensive/showy for that.
