My '09 aquaracer quartz, possibly the best tool watch ever! I bought this when I was a junior consultant and this was right up there at the limit of my means, it's been to countless meetings, looks perfect with a jacket, but is strong enough that I wear it snowboarding and being Quartz if it sits in my desk for a few days I never have to adjust it. Hard to describe how much it means to me!

Not a TAG Heuer, but a vintage 1970s Rolex 1680 Submariner with original fat font ghost bezel

With the apple watch being posted on earlier I though I would balance things a little with my Samsung Galaxy Gear

Haven't seen that before. Assume it's a third-party app that gives you the V4 dial?

I just used a Watch Styler app and imported my own image that I created based on the Monaco V4. Unfortunately the camera really didn’t capture the colours very well, in real life it looks black/grey and does not have the blue tinge seen in the pic.

Test driving a Breitling Seawolf 3000M Titanium Diver... first impressions are quite poor, not a big fan of this watch at all...

Curious what it is you're not liking?

That design seems quite restrained from what I've experienced (very limited) of Breitling.

Very poorly finished and crummy feeling bracelet, not just because its titanium and light but because they haven't put much effort in, its stupidly top heavy which makes it flop around badly, way too tall, and the level of finishing / build quality is disappointingly sloppy especially the ill fitting endlinks and weird crown. This is a surprisingly bad watch compared to a Submariner, Seamaster Pro, or TAG Heuer Aquaracer, which I really didn't expect from Breitling. Visibility is probably its best asset, you can read it really easily, but the case, bracelet and weight balance are really quite horrible.

Its weird really because I don't normally find a watch disappointing, I didn't like Panerai until finally getting two to wear briefly then decided I liked them, but yea this just left that much of a negative impression.

Do like the fenix 3, a buddy has one in grey/black with the sapphire screen, looks very sharp and works well, has navigated us around a bunch of cities.

I really do, I've only had it a few days, I wish the sapphire came on all models, I liked the look of the silver too much.

I upgraded from my garmin vivoactive, it feels and looks much better, nav pics up much quicker. As big as it is, it's still not as heavy as my Monaco.
