So I got my Casio A158 on Saturday. For the $15 I paid for this thing, I love it. I have worn it to work the past two days and just love how it feels on my wrist. It must be 1/3 the weight of my Mako and even a lot lighter than my G-Shock. I also really like how easy it is to adjust the band. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem, but I find my wrist size changes a good amount day to day and I can resize the band in about 10 seconds with just my pocket knife.

I am seriously considering eventually getting a A168 because of the nicer looking band on that. I am quite glad I stumbled across this thread, it has totally satisfied my desire for a dressier digital that doesn't cost over $100. Gotta love the low price and retro look.....

I'm looking to replace my Pulsar watch. I like the watch, but this is the second one I've had where the stopwatch hands don't return to the 12:00 position. I was looking at Citizen watches, and I like the looks and features of this one:

I don't want to spend a ton of money, but I want a decent everyday watch. Any comments, or suggestions watches for under $300 USD? I was also looking at the Casio G-Shock watches, but a lot of them are bigger than I like. (My Pulsar is 42mm by 12mm)

Have you considered the new Timex watches? They're definitely on my rader. :) http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T2N699DH-Intelligent-Quartz-Stainless/dp/B0053EXK78/ref=sr_1_258?s=watches&ie=UTF8&qid=1325020834&sr=1-258

I love IWC because they are beautiful watches, yet only watch people tend to know about them.  Everyone wears Rolex, and a lot of people who don't know watches wear Rolex as a status symbol.  Also, the Rolex submariner design has been replicated by just about every single watch manufacturer out there.  IWC is more understated elegance, it's a watch I appreciate while not being flashy.

My other IWC (and absolute favorite watch):

The problem is I really like it and don't want to mess it up, so I wear it around less and only for formal occasions.  On a day to day basis I wear the ingenieur chrono since it's built like a tank.

I bought a Damasko 46 black that I've been wearing around as a sports watch, and wearing it a little more than my IWC recently:

Nice, I like it. I'll definitely take a look at this one. SWMBO was less than thrilled with the price of the Citizen, but I can probably sell her on this one.

While searching for watches, I found this: (claims to be a mans watch)

At $250, I'm not sure if it's a joke or not...looks more like a Fisher-Price watch. One site wants $395 for it.

One guy wrote that black and tan version looks better. What do you think?
