Watch Options-Sub $300

captainmorganThose are all completely different styles/bands. Narrow your preferences down first.

I'm not sure. I like both the classic Tissot look w/ leather band, but I also would like a standard metal band watch like the citizens mentioned.

 

Go look at Swiss Army/Wegner and get a watch there. I like Seiko at that price also.Check out some Japanese sites, they have some crazy Citizens and Seiko's that you don't see in the USA.

Thanks for the input, actually just found that Seiko for $275.

 

Though I wear it to class mostly and only occasionally to work, I've had the Zodiac "Sea Dragon" for over two years and it still draws complements pretty frequently. Admittedly, you didn't state what the purpose of this watch was for, I usually wear that watch around town and wear a more boring watch (VERY similar to the ones you've posted) when I'm at work.

those seikos are pretty fugly.

if you get a seiko, get one of the japanese ones. they are of much higher quality, with solid stainless steel construction, a very reliable and have beautiful movements. i have a rolex and one of these seikos, and the seiko is better in every regard, except for "finish" and "looks".

i don't know man, don't try to be too grownup with your watch. get something cool and tough, not something that makes you look like an accountant. if i was you i'd get a dive watch, chronograph, etc.

of the watches you selected I prefer the Tissot the best.
