My name is London and I’m a 24 year old from Florida. It started off with a G-Shock in grade school, got back into watches in the military on an off, got hooked in 2021.

Technically, my first watch was a Relic in the 90s. I still have it somewhere. But I consider my answer to be: E. None of the Above
The first piece I ever bought myself was a cheap fashion Analog/Digital combo watch at 13. Looking back, it was terrible -- folded links, stamped clasp, etc. But I didn't know anything about watches at the time, and honestly, Rolexes still came with stamped clasps back then. I still have it. I will take a photo of it tonight and update this post.
I'm so old quartz watches hadn't been invented yet.

I thought people with ana digis might come on with the E. option😂

Gotta love 'em! This isn't the one referenced in my post, but it's the first watch I consider to be an "adult" watch. It was my 18th birthday present:
Red Flik Flak.
Here next to my BB58.
First watch was a casio f91 in elementary school. First adult watch after school was a citizen calibre 2100 eco drive back in 2005.
I don't remember exactly what my first was, but the first I remember and loved was a Timex Atlantis. I still have a couple in my collection, even though the original(and a few others) has gone missing.
It was a square analog Quartz watch made by the brand: KA:OZ. 😅
Classic Casio F-105 was my first watch
There’s certainly been a lot of “first watch” threads lately.
Mine was a Timex mechanical watch that my grandfather gave me. It was in the mid 1970s. I was 5 or 6; I don’t remember exactly.
edit: Photo added. Taken earlier this week for a different “first watch” thread. It still runs, but I haven’t tested it to see how well it keeps time.
