I want to buy a nice watch, but I can't stand the thought of spending over $1000 (let alone $2000) for a watch. Help me out!

I think seiko has a good middle-ground of watches. I spent $500 and got a nice titanium one that's lasted a good few years now, but you can get a real looker for $350.



This is the one I have, looks like it's gotten about $150 cheaper over the last couple years.

On a side note Member Zero (Paul) has connections for getting seiko watches dirt cheap. If any ones interested?

I agree. This is my Seiko, about $450 retail, I stole it on Amazon for $290. It's titanium and the alarm function is great.

My coworker (with whom I started my conversation about watches) told me he had THE watch to have....and it was the same one you just linked. Hahaha!

I like the look of yours a lot, classic lines and tastefully done. I wanted a chrono, so I opted for mine.

Keep an eye out at the daily sale sites that do watches.
Don't buy into the "2000 dollar for 100 dollar" offers... but there are some good deals every now and then. Look out for a Tag Heuer or something within those lines...

For the seiko people, here is one on special today ChronoShark | The Watch Deal a Day Site

Wow, that's a great looking watch. Only $100!

Watches, like many things, are a very particular to the taste, so really our best bet is to give you our opinions on a good brand, and then you pick the particular model that meets your taste. Sounds like seiko is a pretty accepted brand.

LOL, I ALMOST bought this one, it was between mine and this, and when I found mine on sale so low, I jumped. This watch has the same movement as mine, including the alarm feature.
