i wear a Timex Ironman from walmart. I think it costed $30 but i love it, i wear it every day. I wouldn't spend a lot of money on a watch, i have a nice watch and never wear it. I never have a reason to.



Same here. I wear a black/silver Timex. Takes a lickin' & keeps on tickin'. I've worn it for about 3 years now, no problems. It looks good & cost $30-35 USD.
 
Fossil Blue $65 and still tickin 5 years later....mines like the one below but its green in the middle and fades out to dark blue on the outside...

if i had $600 to spend on a non-car thing, i'd put it towards a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier guitar amp head...:p
 
ok, i bought a $150 watch and a pair of oakleys for ~125

I have more than enough money in the bank, and recently bought some nice clothes. I'm so damned nice i even bought my friend a pair of 100 oakleys last night :)
 
600 bucks!!! holy ****..the most expensive watch i have is 100 bucks and it was a gift i never wear cuz i dont wanna scratch it. i think i spent 50 bucks on a fossil and regreted for a week. lol. go online, and look for a fake rolex, i think there like 150-200 bucks. most people wont know.
 
I have had a few fossil's didnt like them too much. The bands I think are cheap feeling (metal ones), and all of them last about a year...either the batt. dies or arms fall off or both. Now the batt. is an ok easy/cheap fix but its a hassle to send in if you want them to fix it.

I bought a Nixon watch about 5-6 yrs ago for around 100$ nice watch. stood up to ALOT of crap. the face has this surround that protects the face crystal. In the 5-6 years it only has one small scratch from a funky wack and I wore it daily for about 5yrs. The Band finaly broke (metal, its all I like...I hate leather bands). but it still works, not bad for the length of time and abuse I put it threw. I mean like header swaps, tranny pulls, lift kits, ect. Just a very well built watch for the money.

I have been kicking around buying another one (and/or getting my nixon band fixed). I like the kennith cole (sp?) and omega brands. If I get the nixon fixed I would like to spend some cash and get a omega or...even a used date-a-just(sp?) rolex in all honesty. There not that bad and I actually like the simple design of the entry level rolex. If I get a diff. watch to wear daily I would prob get a Cole.

I was merely giving reason to upgrade, is all I'm saying.
Think of it this way, I yearn to see highly detailed pics of your car.
And will be unable to do so with what you currently possess :D

i work for fossil. I can get zodiac, burberry, diesil, micheal Kors, DKNY, armani, and fossil watches all for 50% off. i would spend $200 on a zodiac, great watch. Swiss made, italian leather, or real crock skin. The make automatic watches too.
