[Watches] Recommendations for $300 or under

I just want to come in here and say that is way too much money to spend on a watch. They all tell time. Hell a $20 one from Wal-Mart will tell time/date have a timer, be water proof, and have a back-lit display. Heck, you are probably already carrying a cell-phone around that does everything a watch does.

Sorry that I'm no help. I just had to rant about it. Hope you find one you like.

 

Bump~
Alright I need some watch help and didn't want to start a new thread
I'm looking for something with a black link band because I have rather small wrists and will probably end up getting links removed . Something versatile that I could wear on a night out, but still be able to show it off casually. Pricing probably 100 to 200 dollars. Help would be much appreciated, and rep if I end up buying one of your suggestions :grin:

i was thinking of a band more like this..also prefer a black dial

 

How about one of the Fossil watches:

Those look nice, and exactly what I was looking for.. I'll look into it. If I buy one, rep as promised :grin:

 

Are you the dude that dated Angelina from Jersey Shore?

 

Lol, he got her a Fossil watch and she didn't "thank him" properly!:grin:

 

don't get a fossil. not a target "adult" watch.

citizen has a good rep in this price range. http://thewatchery.com

All white or all black= swag on full attack!

 

But people might think you're being a showoff.

gonna prop up www.orientwatchusa.com too.

got this a few weeks ago with a huge discount:



they're offering 30% off with a free throwaway watch right now. they also offer a 50% discount too.

 

I'm gonna need a direct shopping link for this...

 

Orient actually makes some nice watches. Their Mako dive watch is a decent watch and a very affordable price, and they make some fairly high end watches too.

 

I agree. Thinking about picking this one up somewhere along the line:




50% off with promo code "orientusa50"


almost settled on that exact skagen watch too; really thin case, so its probably good under dress shirts. but after looking online, imo too many people recommended it. doesn't mean its bad, but kinda means alot of people have it.

 

not knocking skagen though. the thin-ness of the case is a pretty attractive draw

 

Was hoping someone on here had the same watch taste as myself.




Bulova is the way to go my friend

 

You have good taste my friend but I'm probably going to be getting one of those Fossils that someone else posted because I'm familiar with them, they have a store nearby, good warranty, and I was also looking for something mostly/all black because I needed it to be versatile. That being said, that watch looks BEAUTIFUL.

the $115 fossil watch is okay, but do yourself a favor and skip the $235 one. the orient watch in the link above is a much much much better watch and with the discount code about $50 cheaper.
