Have a Frederique Constant, pretty legit

I saw some of their watches recently and read they're a pretty good 'up and comer' in terms of low/mid-range luxury watches (e.g., Tag, Longines, maybe a bit higher than those). A lot (or all) of their watches are made in-house if I remember correctly.

I would throw in Ball watches as a suggestion for Analysts. They have a pretty cool history/backstory, and known to be very well built. Also in a decent price range for a first-respectable watch purchase ($800 to $1500+) I believe. http://www.ballwatchusa.com/

I'm a big fan of Citizen EcoDrive. Look classy and no battery (solar).

That wouldn't be ideal for the typical vitamin D-deprived analyst

well done, spicoli
 

Not "best," but high quality and reasonably priced items for an analyst:

Suits: Ralph Lauren (Polo and Black Label), hickey, Brooks Brothers ($600 - $1500) Shirts: Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, T.M. Lewin, Charles Tyrwhitt ($40 to $100) Pants: Howard Yount, Mabitex, Zanella ($120 to $200) Shoes: Crockett & Jones, Allen Edmonds (Strand, Park Avenue), Church's ($350 to $550) Ties: Sam Hober, Kent Wang, Howard Yount ($50 to $90) Watches: Seiko (Japan made only), Stowa, Sinn, Nomos ($300 to $800)

Don't fall into the Tag watch, Gucci loafer, Ferragamo tie, Armani suit trap. These are for people with more money than sense.

When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.
 

The watch situation is easy. Don't waste your money on a tacky rolex and don't skimp with a timex.

If you have patience and can wait around for a great brand to turn up, wait to get a big name, quality vintage watch that'll run forever.

Hit your local jewelry or watch stores and see what kind of vintage stuff they've gotten in the way of trade-ins etc. My first nice watch was a vintage Omega that I got for $250. I bargained with the guy and got him to throw in a great looking new band for free. A lot of small town jewelers know that they can't charge a premium for something like an Omega that smaller-town people haven't heard of (but that in the watch world is a fantastic, expensive watch). People that know watches will give you respect, and people that don't won't think you're a tool for wearing a Rolex.

 

After my last watch died I decided to step my game up and buy a Tag and I can tell you I doubt I would ever get a different brand of watch. I wear that thing all the time no matter what I am doing and it looks just as new as the day I bought it. Buy a cheap watch and it will show over the years, invest in a nice time piece and you will be glad you did. No need to go crazy and get a Rolex or anything like that, just don't cheap out either.

 

I own a number of Skagens. They're reasonably priced, thin(est production watch), and classy.

Also, I own a couple Movados. Simple and classy, slightly more expensive.

 

Wear whatever you want. I'm assuming this is a quartz movement, but I'd settle for a nicer auto. I myself wear an Orient Ray and a Tissot PRS516 auto!

Rocking a Tag Heuer Carrera

Wouldn't waste money on a $400-800 watch. Either buy a $100-200 or get a $1k+ luxury watch. I don't see the point in middle grade watches. It's like saying I care about my watch but am too poor. Under that range, it says I really do not care which is fine, over that range says you do which is fine.

Just my opinion though...

I would suggest getting this watch in stainless steel casing with a black strap model. The reason being is a watch is considered an accessory and all accessories have to match, e.g your belt. Safe to assume you will wear a black belt with a stainless steel buckle most of the time so try to match that with your watch.
