I am not a jewelery guy. I wear my wedding ring, Trion:Z bracelet and a watch. Over the years I have become a huge watch fan. I like big watches since I have large hands and long arms (I am 6'8"). One that I love but have not been able to justify buying is the Oakley Minute Machine. I love the size and style but the $1200 price tag for something I can't wear every day is pretty steep. I run a gym so I am always banging my watch into machines and weights. Right now I wear a big Fossil with a face that is 1 3/4" across.

I just buy $10 watches, I had a yellow and gray nike one, which broke, then I had some cheap 10 dollar ones that also broke, Now i have no watch. Whenever i try to get through the day and I look at the time, it goes soo slow, So i prefer not to wear one.

This golf watch by suunto is very cool. It is way too big for me, but definitely sounds functional if you are an avid golfer. It does everything!

I also wear a Seiko kenetic. I've had it 8 years and it is getting a little small for me now, need to add a link. I think it is shrinking! Or.... my wrist is bigger now

Nice watch though, never needs batteries, I even swim with it on.

I don't wear one, because I'm only 15 and that isn't the teenage style. I just use my phone for the time.

Hmm.. Maybe its different here, but Adding a nice watch to the wrist looks amazingly stylish and adds a little nice touch.

Haha, where do I begin? I think it's something like "Hello, my name is Paul, and I have a watch problem.."

In somewhat regular rotation, I've got:

Omega Speedmaster Professional (Moon watch)
Breitling SuperOcean
Zenith Elite HW
Universal Geneve HW
Omega Seamaster
Zenith/Movado Museum HW
Longines Executive
Rado Diver Auto
Tag Heuer 2000
Swatch Body and Soul irony automatic
...oh and about a dozen others (lots of Swatches and Skagens).

Yes, I am nuts.

I have a Sinn 856 and a DOXA Military Sharkhunter 750T. I had a bunch of other watches that I've since sold since those two were my nicest and got the most wrist time.

Aerospace and Diving watches are some of my favorites, so it's no surprise I love your Doxa and your Sinn. Very sweet!

I don't remember the last time I wore a watch. Hmm.

Thanks ettsn!

I have been wanting to add a chronograph to the stable for some time now but I've held out due to other interests, the economy, etc. I've been eyeing the Sinn 103 since I can't afford a Breitling. Looks like you have a great collection!!

I am a Oakley guy through and through, have bought at least one new pair of sunglasses every year for the last 10 years, but I have never got into their watches. The last time I was in getting my prescription changed, the guy had this watch on and it is giant. I liked it, but its too big. For myself in the watch category, Im TAG heuer, have the Aquaracer Chrono

and just ordered the golf watch in white (plan to change the band to black after labor day and see if I like it) One day hope to have a collection like the fella a couple posts above. Would love to have a good Brietling, Rolex, and Omega.

That's a nice Aquaracer. I've got an older TAG Heuer 2000 Automatic (which was renamed the Aquaracer a few years back), but mines not a chrono.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
