2008 Nixon The Player. Contains a single diamond in the face. Not sure if I bought this ironically or not. Has a caption engraved on the back saying "Yes, it's real."

So a bunch of people here who are into watches post pictures of their various watches with tags like #WristCheck #Watchtodon and so on.

Those are cool but I want to know what the rest of you wear. If you wear a watch at all. It does not need to be special or unique but take a picture of whatever is on your wrist right at this moment and post it in reply please. Boosts appreciated.

My followers have seen most of mine multiple times. Nonetheless to start this off, this is what I have on now.

It's here, I hope you're happy @ruari

This is my first field watch!

So, this is a cheap #watch that I got from Amazon... It's an AKnight - a sub-brand from Berny / Benyar. Unfortunately, unlike other Chinese brands (Addiesdive, Paganni Design, San Martin, etc.) it shows itself as being a cheap watch. So then, why did I buy it?

I've decided that I want to focus my watch collection. The plan is to have three primary watches: a daily wear dress watch, a casual weekend/activity watch, and a formal dress watch. From there I will have a few sets of watches (mostly Casio watches) to supplement the main three.

This watch ticks the boxes for what I want on my main daily wear watch:

• quartz (although I'd prefer solar or mech-qaurtz),
• dauphine hands,
• 3pm day/date complication,
• color-matched day/date complication,
• no cut-off Roman / Arabic numerals,
• no lume (IMO lume doesn't work well on this watch style),
• nicely faceted markers (prefer applied markers),
• decent size (36-40mm),
• a nice dial texture,
• available in a few different colors,
• sapphire crystal (although I'm not opposed to mineral glass, depending on the price point),
• 316L Stainless Steel or Titanium,
• nice bracelet and finishing

So, basically, something with the looks of a King Seiko, but with a modern / more accurate movement.

This watch hits everything until you get to the details. The bracelet was absolutely atrocious: hollow links, bad tolerances (rattled a lot), bad finishing, annoying butterfly-clasp, etc. And the finishing on the case is just bad -- over-polished, no brushed surfaces, edges are too rounded, etc. They included lume - although they did it tastefully. Day/date complication isn't color matched to the dial.

The bracelet was the absolute worst. I've ordered a black leather band for this watch, as I will wear it until I find a better watch in this style. For now, I've put it on a single-pass rubber strap, so I don't have to wear that annoying bracelet.
