Matt Mullenweg's Bell & Ross Radar Watch
Matt Mullenweg - Photo credit: Sheri Bigelow (designsimplywatches-dealer)This one's for you MattaBlogtoReadwatches-dealer readers know that I don't spend a lot of blog space explaining which watch actors and athletes are currently paid to endorse. I will however discuss watches on the wrists of people I respect and that have good enough taste to choose something nice. WordPress and Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg is also a watch lover. Like many San Francisco and Silicon Valley horophiles, Matt is a bit more private about his fascination with watches. He told me once that it started with a Panerai he saw in a store window. Nevertheless, these important captains of industry and genius engineers are one of the largest and most important watch loving demographics in the US. These guys buy watches because they appreciate the mechanics and craftsmanship, not because they saw them in a fashion magazine.Like millions of other blogs out there, aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer is WordPress-based.

Solar dive watch suggestions
A year or two ago I went looking for a good watch, and ended up with a Seiko Black Monster.I like the watch, aesthetically especially, but I think it's less than perfect for me functionally, so I'm looking into other options.I believe that what would suit me best is a quartz of some description, as two of the things I didn't love about the Monster were not being able to leave it off for more than a day or two without it stopping and the impreciseness of the auto timekeeping (I knew about both these things going in, but decided to give it a try anyway).I do like the (relatively plain) aesthetic of the Monster, especially the bezel, hands, etc. I'm not really interested in multiple dials, etc.Another example of a watch I like the visual appearance of is the Titanium Seamaster I found pictures of while browsing here. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my price range.I would prefer both day of week and month on the dial.I like the idea of the solar quartz watches, e.g. the Eco Drive series,
