I'd also pimp a SEiko SAmurai, though it's big:

I like black better, but here it is in white:

Boccia watches are cool: Titanium and they have some simple designs. They are very light of cours. I think this one is about 150$

Mine since 2002. IIRC, I bought it from Princeton watches for somewhere in the neighborhood of $220.

So far the only watch that I really like is the Seiko 5. I'm going to go to the mall sometime next week and see what they have at Macy's and the watch stores there.

I just started looking into watches and after reading this http://www.forbes.com/2003/12/03/cx_ns_1203guide.html
I've decided i wanted a quality mechanical watch. Why? Because Forbes said so.

Google skywatches.com for a huge selection of Seiko & Citizen automatics. It's in Singapore, but I bought from them and received my watch the same week.

Woot, my watch (Suunto X6HR) is listed!

Although I drive a car made by a premium auto maker, with an antiquated engine, a transmission like a high maintenance woman, and non-power assisted steering, I'm still not convinced about mechanical watches being "it."

Automatic watches are always more expensive, and made by more exclusive brands. They still won't keep time like a quartz and will stop running if you don't wear them for a while. It's all personal preference, do (buy) what you like, for your own reasons.

If you're not familiar with the term "Superfake," I suggest you get acquainted with it.

I've become a fan of Bathys watches. They're well made and rather inexpensive for the quality and materials. I have a Benthic.

http://www.bathyswatch.com/

http://www.bathyswatch.com/main.php?..._mens_bc-bb-bd

They're designed in Hawaii and handmade in Switzerland to his specifications. Pretty impressive stuff. John, the owner, lives on Kauai and is a super nice guy. I have a standing invitation to have a beer with him next time I'm over there.

If you like the military divers look, you can't go wrong with the GSAR (tritium-lighted automatic diver 300m $675) or the TSAR (tritium-lighted quartz diver 300m $450) by Marathon. They are government-spec and actually used by Coast Guard, NASA, and other government contracts (unlike Traser, Luminox, etc.), and are killer values for the money. Gotta love the tool-watch look.

I'm loving those Seiko Military watches. I want to get one with a black face and metal bracelet.

Any suggested retailers?

SOVIET PARATROOPER WATCH
Three needles, adjustable bezel, date calendar. Green face with red star and paratrooper emblem. Signed "For Admirals". Mechanical. 18 ruby jewels. Leather strap. Gift box.
R023P $44.95
I don't really like the red and black bezel, why is it like that? Where can I find/buy Vostok watches???


That looks ****ing ballen! I wish it had a date box or w.e. on it, I always look at my watch to see what date it is.


I really like how this one looks, but that's a custom order.
The usual chronograph looks like this.

That's it, I want a Vostok watch. I think they look very cool and unique and some people in the WIS thread said they're good watches.

What do you guys think? Also, should I just buy one from that ebay vendor or are there other places where I can purpose Vostok watches?

Utility defined ^

I like mine, big, easy to read, display. Displaying two time zones comes in helpful at work. Compass has actually kept me from getting lost a few times. Barometer/altimeter is less useful, but still come in handy from time to time. Accurate within a second or two over a month vs. aviation GPS.

Battery died? Use a nickel to remove the cover and slap in a new CR2032.

The fitness logs you can download are pretty neat as well.

I think Suuntos are great.

I like my Casio GW-300. Had it for 5 years now and I've only had to replace the band (couple of weeks ago). It sets itself daily and is solar powered. Quite possibly, the last watch I will ever own....(J/K, I'm sure it will die someday, but it has lasted me 5 years without so much as a hiccup in operation)

Entry Level Seikos are good.
Skagen makes a good watch. Most are under $200 new IIRC
Nixon makes some nice more contemporary looking watches within your price.
