Hi,
I'm looking for watch recommendations. something that won't come apart, and has a readable interface. something good looking would be good, but i'll be wearing it all the time and with different outfits, so no 24k gold rolexes. Thanks

all stainless, metal bracelet (stainless)
alternate titanium.

omega, base breitling, fortis, sinn/bell&ross, oris, there are a few more.

Budget?

For lower budgets, Citizen, Seiko, St. Moritz and Casio make very good-looking watches that work with all outfits. Mmm, EcoDrive Ti.

For LOW budgets, go for the Timex Expedition metal-bracelet series. It looks more expensive watches but costs much less.

I want an Ecodrive chrono that a girl can pull off, but there are scarce few chronos that a girl can wear, much less an ecodrive. Swatch/Tissot seem to have that market sewn up.

Let's not forget Orient Star. I don't know if Orients are always folded links, though the one I have is. The Orient Star certainly isn't. I even have a Swatch irony medium that has a solid stainless steel bracelet, the ceil clare in blue. And yet the Tissot pr50 auto has folded links, explain that one.

I'd recommend one of these:

I have one and I love it. It's a bit of a pain because it's such a good watch and it has such history it's the only watch I'll ever wear. Which makes it impossible to justify me buying one of these:

Tissot has a sapphire crystal, very resistant to scratching.

Skagen makes some nice watches that are not to flashy, pretty inexpensive, and go with most anything.

I have this black titanium one, that I wear almost everyday

forgot: budget is less than 300
thanks for the recommendations

the citizen eco drive watches are looking pretty good right now, so are the skagen ones...

 

[Oistrakh]

Try Armitron watches, I've been wearing them for the past 5 years of my life

I got that Skagen for $50 some dollars on eBay

I should've gotten this instead of the $80 Pulsar one...

Well, still gotta love 60% discounts!


This thing is, in my definition, the sexiest watch ever forged by the human mind.

Yea I've always liked that watch, now if it just had numbers on the face I'd get one

Those Casio atomic-solar watches look interesting. Accurate and powered by light. I can't speak for quality or warranty though. Looks like they have a few models that are all digital displayed as well, so easy viewing.

I know it's not really a comparison but I bought a Pulsar Solar powered Titanium watch back around 1998, it keeps perfect time, and has always staid powered up. Even when I don't wear it often.

skagen are prone to breaking

ive had to return my timex expedition 3 times... wouldnt recommend them

for budget outdoor, all-weather watches i say japan-made casio g-shock. for everyday watches ill go with japanese-made seiko, orient star, etc
