Casio G Shock has a white NASA watch. I don’t have that one, do have the Speedy.

I'm just going to put in a suggestion that the X-33 is arguably the only watch to wear today ... but a very nice watch you have all the same!

Excellent choice, Ben Such a rich history behind this brand and that model in particular. I don't own one yet but can't wait to get my Seamaster Professional Chronograph back from service in the future once all is resolved.

Wearing my reference 3570 today

Man, compared to a Saturn V or a Shuttle, the ride on the SpaceX rocket looked smooth and comfy, didn't it?

I was on the web in the afternoon and curious to know if the launch went off, so I googled it, found a link, and opened the live feed with 30 seconds to go in the countdown. Loved watching it!

Other interesting aspects: 1) The control room looked very composed and calm, like no one was even a tiny bit surprised about how smoothly everything went, and 2) Stage 1 flew itself through re-entry and landed in the exact center of a pad on a drone ship that navigated itself to the rendezvous. The rocket and the ship met for recovery without humans doing the work! Amazing!!!

Au contraire... since they're wearing X-33s, I'd submit that's the only watch to wear! :D

I'm wearing mine!
