oh no good then

Only had mine for 8 months now and nothing happened so far. Didn't really look at other people's experience with them since I got a decent deal on my watch for x-mas through work. Otherwise I would have done a little bit more research.

In your pricerange, I'd recommend this:http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-SEIKO-KINET...QQcmdZViewItem

I used one for 4 years and never had a problem with it till the band broke. Retails for almost $700.

Also, most Tommy Hilfiger watches use Movado movements.

I prefer strap watches to metal bands. I also have VERY skinny wrists (6'0", 125 lbs), and this watch fits me great. I know you said you don't like gold, but it's a handsome watch in person that's not too flashy, and it goes with pretty much anything.

EDIT- link here.

I wouldn't mind it looking good with jeans too, but really I just need it for work. The only problem is that I have skinny wrists, so most watches look pretty clunky. I'm not spending over $200. I don't really like gold, so silver is preferable. Any recommendations? Thanks!

TIssot Desires are elegant classically styled watches in medium size (36mm) .... none of those ridiculous oversized diver styling

I really like my citizen eco-drive. They make all kinds of styles, I think they start around the $130 mark. Costco caries them sometimes you can land a decent deal that way.

Seconded, in fact see this post, and here's Tissot's page. Here's a pic of my PR50 Chrono:

Another point, I was an automatic watch user for a long time, from Seiko, Citizen to Orient, and from Russian watches to Swiss ones, including an old Rolex, IMO all of the automatic watches suck, very good piece of machinary but period. All of the ones I had were not accurate in most of the cases, and you need to readjust them every once in a while, I took them to every place possible to readjust them, and in all cases I was told the same, if you are an accuracy obssesed guy, just convert to Quartz, at the begining I refused the idea, guys, but finally did it some time ago, and bingo, no more adjustments....right time at the righ moment, maybe not the most expensive watches, but they are a lot more accurate, even the cheap ones.....if you can't spend a fortune on them, stay away of automatic watches....

I just bought one of these (Citizen Eco-Drive):

From here: http://www.chronograph.com/store/mli...idproduct=1733
Admittingly, the watch probably won't look quite as good in reality because they used some warm lighting for that picture. Should be still neat though.

This particular model is "Calibre 8700"

More colours and different pricings can be found here

The Chronograph.com site sells it for $205 including shipping worldwide. There are also quite a lot of Ebay offerings on this watch.

I don't get why you'd spend $200 on a watch you're only going to use for a week. You can get a perfectly good watch for $25 for such an occasion. Unless you plan on using it after that week too I'd get me a cheapy if I were you.

saint.panda,
Really nice watch!

Just check out Amazon to see that there are some nice watches for under $20.
like these casio's:

Or this one:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...=UTF8&v=glance

Both will fine do for just a week IMO.
