What kind of wristwatch do you wear while riding?
I wore a Breitling Aerospace until a link popped off and I LOST the watch. Now I wear a Seiko or my HR Monitor/Altitude watch (either would only cost $100 or so to replace if lost or damaged, I learned my lesson). Do you wear a watch when you ride?

Sorry, I don't own a watch. After the strap broke on my watch 15 years ago, I found I didn't really need it. There are clocks everywhere: car, computer, cell phone, tv, alarm clock, oven, microwave ...... that I have a pretty good idea what time it is no matter where I am.

Polar on the bars w/ bracket. It shows me time and HR. No need to wear a watch.....thats just something to get hung up on the bars or shifter cables if I'm laying in the aero position.

I wear this old omega speedmaster pro from the 60's. I found it in some musty old box in my basement labeled Buzz for some reason. It's covered with some type of really fine dust, possibly of foreign origin, so I just use it for a beater.

None. There is a clock on my computer and phone. I don't carry a buggy whip either.

No watch? I suppose the next thing you'll tell me is no pinky ring or gold chains. Fughedaboudit.

Oakley Time Bomb, Ti with carbon fiber face. Tricker than my bike.
That is what I wear when I wear a watch. Probably 90% of the time I don't wear one. Between my computer and my HRM I know what time it is twice already.

Polar 720i is strapped to my handlebars. The Tissot chronograph is left at home, lest my sweat destroy the leather band.

Only if the ring and chains match the gold nugget watch.

I wear a Timex with a Compass function that comes in handy on and off the bike.
