I'm not a big fan of large watches, hence I don't have to worry about getting hooked on Oakley watches. I have one watch brand I would wear because they are super slim, Skagen. Here's a pic of my titanium Skagen and titanium wedding ring.

Citizen Military on a Nato band. It takes a beating and has several scratches in the crystal. But it's about 3 years old and barring a catastrophe should last another 10.

As long as we're talking watches...
I can't stand a lot of watches people wear. No offense if you're one of these people, but what function does a watch serve when the only indicator is a diamond at 12 o'clock and 2 hands on a face of the same color? I need to track seconds and minutes from time to time, and I like day/date since we all know the work week starts to blend together pretty quickly. And I need the face and indicators to be contrasting.

I just don't prefer digital anymore. I used to have a nice Timex with a ton of features. Now my phone can do a ton more than make phone calls, so I don't need a thermometer and all that jazz.

My IDEAL watch would be; black case, black face, aviator style dials with a 5, 10, ... 55 outer ring and a 1, 2, ... 23 (that's right, full 24hour) inner ring. Tritium inserts on everything, preferably red on the second hand, yellow on the hour and minute, yellow at the 5's indicators. Size would be ~42mm, maybe as big as 45, but no smaller than 40. That Citizen is a 37 and it feels small at times, especially on my wrist. 20-22mm nylon strap with machined bars integrated into the watch body, not spring b

Something like this Luminox gets close, but hybridize it with the sleeker profile Fortis and make the inner dial smaller, outer dial bigger
