    Show Your Grab-n-Go

    Most of us seem to have something in the box that we can just reach for and run with, and some might say no collection's complete without one.

    I'm looking for some inspiration, so whether it's your trusty G-Shock, a VC perpetual calendar kept on a winder, or whatever - let's see your grab & go watches.

    This is mine:

    My perfect grab and go is my Aerospace. I love it.

    It really depends what watch I bought last? That tends to be my grab-and-go (in fact it lives on my wrist for a couple weeks probably) then I get bored. I am such a tart!

    My current grab and go:

    Got to be this for me. Super accurate and with a perpetual calendar too.

    Analogue digitals stealing the show so far. Makes sense in that there's no time setting required.

    Either of these for me:

    this at the moment..

  24. #24
    Good idea for a thread.
    Don’t have one at the moment as I never wear either of my g-shocks except for running or swimming.
    Used to own a Scurfa Diver One and it did a great grab n go job, until it, well, went.
    Been looking for another one recently, something in the “good and affordable” category.
    I agree that every collection needs one.

    My grab 'n' go is perfect! Quartz running at +0.1s/d and is perpetual, therefore is always ready to go. Apart from the annoyance of day light savings!

    Albeit, I now only own one auto. It's rare that's not got power and sweeping. In the month I've had it I've not had to reset the time or date.

    I also have a bunch of G-Shocks.

    This must be my watch I just get up and go with.
    Right up until the day before I left Plymouth to ride in the Picos and the rest of Spain I was planning on taking something else.
    I just couldn’t do it this one I just don’t worry about,though I wouldn’t want to damage or lose it.

    It’s this for me. I brought it for training (pre-smart watch) and pop it on anytime I am doing something that could possibly damage one of my watches - which is anything.

    That said I may consider an Aerospace as some lovely ones in here.

    Would have to be Quartz, so one of these.



    Both of the Heuers were eBay rescues, with self-servicing getting the vintage 536.121 movements working again and the Seiko is from our own Bodo.

    Apologies for posting the same watch twice but I’ve worn this every day since I bought it. You can wear all the coloured NATOs you like (and I do!) but a diver on Black is still a classic.

    Judging by the sign shown in the first photo ,someone there doesn't like a certain ITV morning programme.

    Update with a newly-arrived replacement for the G-Shock first posted, which I've now sold. This titanium INOX is an absolutely cracking quartz grab and go.

    Show Your Grab-n-Go

    It's a Geckota Crosskeys Solid Mesh Stainless Steel Watch Strap from Watch Gecko - although it's not on the website at the moment

    Maybe they have discontinued it - there are similar models on Amazon

    Show Your Grab-n-Go

    If, as I assume, grab & go means quartz, then it continues to be my Divex 200. Shown here on a black ISOfrane-type strap, but currently on a green one...



    David aka TaketheCannoli is responsible for me buying it originally. Still amazing vfm...
