since you asked...
I bought a quartz Tissot on a trip to Switzerland in 2001 and had that for 6 years after I began with Citizens and a Timex(my first Timex was 7th grade and some jerk smashed it all over the P.E. locker room one day when I had unwittingly left my locker open).
When my daughter was a newborn in 2007, I spent a lot of late nights watching Tim Temple on shop-at-home tv. There was no music or loud noises, just soothing dialogue, so it was well suited for infants. I began noticing all the cool watches and developing a taste for some, and eventually bought a Sturmanskie hand-wind. I have since added a few Orient Makos, a Steinhart Nav-B and a Seiko Black Monster, among others. My wife got me a nice watch box for Christmas, so she's as on-board with this as one could expect.
There are a few guys at work who are into watches as well, but we need to take it easy on the geek-outs....
