I have worn this g shock everyday at work for more than a year now.  I own and work in a transmission shop so it takes a beating and have not had any trouble.

I'm retired so I wear what ever watch screams at me and says "wear me today"!  subtlelaugh.gifsubtlelaugh.gifsubtlelaugh.gif  If I'm taking my 10 year old daughter to the pool I'll always wear one of my divers, though.  When I was working (USAF SOF pilot) I wore my Tag Heuer 2000 or my Seiko Sport Diver.  They are both quartz watches but I needed the accuracy of a quartz because of my job requirement to be on time anywhere!  woohoo.gif

Cool post Zdiver45, I hope more 3T'ers jump in on this one, cheers.   ThumbsUp02.gif

By NMRs do you mean Nuclear magnetic resonance? If so not that high however the print engines I work with have caused some"nice high" end watches to malfunction requiring demagnetising whereas my old Bostok takes all in its stride.

I  tend to cycle through three watches at work.

1) Panerai 124

2) SeaDweller

3) D.freemont Barcelona.

 

I am in Marketing so wearing a nice watch helps.

I work in the Diagnostic Imaging Department of a hospital running a PACS (Picture Archival Communication System). For the most part I am out of direct patient care but do have an occasion to work with the odd modality (MRI, CT, DX, US) and my stock in trade is the server/workstation. So, I can wear just about what I want when I want.Thumbsup3.gif I spend a fair deal of time interfacing with radiologists, surgeons and administration so there are times I'll go for something a little more top shelf shall we say?subtlelaugh.gif

What I post in the daily thread is actually what I wear. No hangar queens for me and I'll always show ya' what I've got on.;)

I normally wear my suunto vector to work cause it's what they gave me. My old G-shock battery went tango uniform and the vector is a bit lighter.


Hey Stormin, wasn't it "Pave Low leads the way"?

When I'm back teaching school in August, I plan to wear a different watch EVERY DAY!  That way I can rotate ALL my watches. 

Now my plan is to have a month's worth of watches.  Wait!  I'm almost there!  Need to buy more!  (Cheap Citizen Eco drive chrono on Canvas incoming!)

I'm an old Pave guy #129 of 453 and in the 20th SOS it was "Pave Low Leads".  Thanks for bringing back the memories!  hand6.gifhand6.gif  While in the 20th SOS I was issued a Casio G-Shock and I still have it!  That watch can handle anything, I once accidentally ran over it with my truck and it still worked.  mistake.gif 

Hey Apeogre, I suspected you might be a military guy by your use of the expression "tango uniform" and the fact you issued a G-Shock!  ThumbsUp02.gif  Take care and have a great day, cheers. woohoo.gif

Currently wearing my Marathon no-date Navigator. It spent the last 2 weeks in the field with me and held up Great. I even made a couple of the squad leaders jealous :D.

As a Maytag repairman (yes we actually do work) working on commercial washers and dryers I beat the daylights out of my G-Shock

I rotate which watch I wear to work but can't wear one while I work. I work as an Auto Technician and wearing a watch would be the end of it. Don't wear any jewelery either for safety while I work.

As design engineer for AT&T and a card carrying, certified "Desk Diver" subtlelaugh.gif I can wear what ever I want. So, just like Pax, whatever you see in the Daily Wrist Check is what I am wearing for the day.

BTW- apeogre -I wore a G-shock for years while I was in the military, then in my last few years in the military I switched to a Tag 1500.

I use what I post in the daily thread and IMHO you should use your watch even if it cost some thousand bucksgoofy
I tend to use a Seiko diver og G-Shock when the going gets real tufftoon1.gif

I'm in the restaurants business and meet lots of different kinds of people every single day. Generally when I think I will spend time inside kitchens, I wear my Seikos. In the office, I wear the more expensive brands. I thus match my watch to the expected situation for the day.

Like many of you, I wear what I post.

I like the Doxa Aquaman for work. Mix in my Casio Protrek and Tag Aquaracer (older version with optional swirls and scratches) and thats all I can risk at work.

I'm working on the oil&gas plants, mostly onshore but I never wear a watch at work: Any mechanic watch I used in the past stoped after 3 months and the wrist can get caught with them also. Specialy since I bolt huge ASME flanges... So I wear my watches at home after my missions only:?

I try to rotate, but the Halios Holotype has seen a LOT of wrist time lately.
