Default how old is your wrist watch?

I just realized a have worn my digital casio (standard spec) for 7 years now and apart from losing 2 buttons and alarm stopped working it still does the job!

My Tag is 5 years old at the minute, broke the strap the other day, the pin got bent, so not been wearing it for the last week and I felt naked without it. Fixed it yesterday though

Funny you should mention this. There's a bit of a 'debate' at the minute as to how long i've had my G-Shock for. First replacement battery after 7 years (I think) a few weeks back, although I'm being accused of owning it for longer than that with the usual 'tight as a duck's @rse' comments circulating

Had my g-shock for a couple of years, it'll go in the bin when the battery dies as all my watches do.

15 years and still going strong. Never slow, and has only had 2 or 3 batteries in all that time.
Tha strap is only starting to go now, but should last a few more years yet. Just enough time to let me save for the Breiteling (spelt wrong) watch I want.

Got a Tag Heuer for my 21st and it's still going strong nearly 11 years later. Have had 1 new battery and a new strap and that's about it.

Mine's 512MB which I believe is the biggest at the moment.

Here is a picture of a 256MB

Not the best looking, but tells the time and is very handy for carrying data.
