Thanks Alan;
It took a bunch of time. I have all episodes of SG-1 and SGA on a hard drive connected to my DVD player, so I can fast-forward search from one to the next to the next etc., looking for close-ups that include a wrist-watch.
From this I learned that Dr. Beckett/Paul McGillian and Rodney McKay/David Hewlitt are most likely left-handed because they often bring their left hand up close to their faces while gesturing.
Paul McGillian's sleeve seemed to almost always be pulled up enough to expose his Suunto Vector.
On the other hand, Joe Flannigan hardly ever had his left wrist in frame. Suunto couldn't have liked him very much.
It also get easier once you realize that the watches supplied by the props dept. were either Casio G-Shocks or Suuntos. So This Website was a big help.
If you're too old and tired for sports, it's kind of like a "Where's Waldo" game, figuring out what kind of watch somebody's wearing.
Season 1:
John Sheppard: Suunto Vector Foliage Green
Rodney McKay: Suunto Vector Khaki
Teyla Emmagan: Casio G-Shock G-600-1AV
Elizabeth Weir: ?
Carson Beckett: Suunto Vector Khaki
Aiden Ford: Probably Suunto X9(--out of production)
============================================
Pretty nice list, but Sheppard's watch in Season 1-3 was not called Foliage Green. The NEW green is called Foliage, the older forest green was different and I am trying to find out the correct name for it if anyone knows.

Here's a screen cap of General Hammond's wristwatch. The image on the right is a screen cap of James Bond's Rolex Sumariner 6538 in the film "Dr. No"
This one has really got me stumped. The case looks very much like an Omega Seamaster 300, but the dial and bezel look different from any example I've found.

Here's Rodney Mckay's watch from Season 5-18-Identity
;
It appears to be a Suunto X6M. It could be a Suunto G6 but that is a golfing watch whereas the X6M is a hiking, mountaineering oriented watch like the Vector.

Yes it well could be since I noticed that PropWerx routinely misidentified witch watches belonged to which characters on the show. That would be a shame if nobody purchased the very watch that Don S. Davis wore in all his years on SG-1
Yes I purchased two of the Propworx watches from the show, they said they had been tagged by the studio as "Beckett", but I know they were in fact Sheppard's. My guess at the end the day they got thrown in bag and were never used again! They went for less than even a new watch would cost and were both screen used!
On another note I have been collecting some of the other watches that are hard to find and selling them for the serious costumers. We also have "for real" screen accurate patches! Check out what we have so far! www.stitchsloft.com

I realize I'm over a decade late, but this is fantastic work. I was actually looking for the model of General G. Hammond's watch in 7.17 (Heroes: Part I) when I came across this thread. It was so awesome I was compelled to create an account and thank anyone out there who may have contributed to this! Still anxiously awaiting an announcement of a re-boot.
