i had never heard of fortress watch until i looked at www.steepandcheap.com a minute ago. their current deal is the fortress partrol for $39. so if you've always dreamed of having one, now may be the time to get it!
My cellphone displays the time, so I don't see the need to carry another doohickey around just to keep track of temporal coordinates.
I carry a cell for work, but don't really like them. I've worn a watch for ages, and it seems a lot easier than looking at my cell (which I have to dig out of a pocket). That being said, those look a bit clunky and expensive. Mountain Gear has them on sale, but I'm content with my cheap Timex. (Edited to say forget Mountain Gear and go with the other guy's find.)
Why would someone bother responding 'no comment'? Wouldn't it be easier to just not reply?

So does anyone own a fortress watch. I see ads everywhere for them, but have yet to see one or hear anyone talk about owning one. So i made a poll.
I have this one:
I got it because I wanted something a little beefier than what I was used to. So far so good. I saw those ones with the wide bands like the "Patrol." Didn't like the way they looked.
Whipping out your cell phone to check the time is sooo 2003.
(pulls out latest gadget) "Hey everybody look at my cool cell phone. Aren't I cool? Don't you envy my personal technology-as-fashion-accessory? Don't you want to have sex with me?" (puts phone away and gets back to reading until class is over)
Calculator watches are the only way to go. Calculate fall factor to 2 decimal places, anchor stresses, etc. on the fly
Like K-Swiss, fortress is a 5$ watch with a hip name on it.
I picked up a 400$ Bulova off overstock.com for 100 and change a year ago, Not as nice as a Rolex, but a darn good watch that is tough as nails (sapphire crystal face), classy enough to wear anywhere, and noone will rob me for it or think it's a 10$ knockoff. Won't need another watch for 20 years.
Well, four and a half months later and I'm pretty disappointed. I got off the river one day and noticed moisture in the watch, which is still there weeks later. I'm about to notify Fortress. I'll keep this thread informed about the customer service experience.
