EDIT: Pic looks fine before I post, but once posted its all zoomed and squashed. If anyone knows how to avoid this, let ya boy know.
me a couple of years ago. I had it serviced, new crystal, and put a repro Uncle Seiko waffle band on it. Pretty rare to find in such great condition without any lume rot.
1964 Omega Seamaster 600. I found this one in my garage in a coffee can of old watches my wife’s grandfather had. I couldn’t believe it. I replaced the crystal and put a new band on it. It runs super fast and needs a service badly.
The reason I like the Swatch collab is because I am a little brutal w watches, lol.

Tag was everyday watch for 20 years, great watch.
However, I track everything with my Garmin and am borderline obsessive about breaking down my runs, my sleep, and my workouts.
Function over form, these days
But I will only wear it when exercising I imagine, so it will be this one (when I find it for a good price):
165, 265, 965
I don't really see for running what anything above 165 gives you extra except for a pricehike though.
I'm looking to try to buy the two year old "Forerunner 55" for cheap. It has the (now) old fashioned MIP screen with only 64 colours though. But seems to have everything I need for my running. And great battery life.
If you want one for everyday use with classical watch hands and a classic look, but also with Garmins smartwatch and training features, check out their Vivomove Trend. I posted it above. Seems to have all the running features one needs also. But is missing out on physical buttons which are good when using for running. And no internal GPS so need to bring a phone.
Two youtubers to check out for info are DesFit and DC Rainmaker. They do clear and to-the-point reviews of training watches.
