I've been a Nikon guy for over 40 years and have loved their products. From 35mm on up to professional digitals, they always work. Never fail or let me down. In school I'd say 3\4 of the class did Nikons (as did the professors) Nowadays I'd say it's more like 50\50 with the pros.
The sad news is I've become very lazy and now shoot my watch pics with a very small Panasonic with a Leica lens. It's good enough for the Internet...
