I had a nice chrono my wife got me. I can't remember the brand. Had diamonds on the face, and I think mother of pearl face.

At a softball game (coaching my kids), one of the players hit my wrist on a practice swing, and shattered the crystal into 10,000 pieces. Bent the hands and warped the face too (good news is that it probably saved me a broken wrist).

My wife never told me what it cost, but I saw her crying when it happened.

So, at current, I'm wearing a black rubber sports watch I got at Sports Authority. She has another on simliar to the one that got smashed, and I don't know who that was either, but she only lets me wear it when there are no sports activities on the agenda (like on date night).
