I have a Guess watch that was around $100 that looks nice. Fossil has some nice looking ones for around that price as well. Big is in for watches these days, my uncle is a watch maker and his watches are 44mm cases, which is about average.

Check out Seiko watches. Many styles and they are still good deals.

In that price range, I'd go for something mil spec looking. I really like the Luminox watches with the tritium hands and indicies.

IMHO, nothing looks worse than a cheepo dress watch

Check Eddie Bauer - decent looking, good warranty. Swiss Army, too.

I have a nice Fossil Carbon Fiber & Stainless, a Relic Squareface, and a cool Nixon watch that are all classy, and all under 2 bills.

The Fossil has an 11 year warranty....3 years left and running strong....

Watches are so outdated. Get a bracelet.

I meant get one without a clock. Theres clocks everywhere you go these days, least of all right there in most peoples pockets (on their phones).

I say just get a nice bracelet and save yourself the time (piece).

Seiko makes a great quality, relatively inexpensive watch.
If you find they're still above your budget, check out Invicta.

I just like watches is all. I certainly don't think they are outdated, but to each their own.

Watches are like fine basses - some people appreciate them, others don't. I'm a huge fan of good watches, and will just say that I have to explain it, you just won't get it.

Jon, with you 100% on this. I own too many watches, really, but I still keep getting tempted when I see something that looks a bit special (and that doesn't necessarily mean big cash, either - I've had some really stylish watches in the past for very reasonable £££).

Fossil, I have 8 or 10 of 'em. $85-100 a piece. Doesn't look cheap but cheap enough to match the wardrobe.

Watch GAS.

I've always used my cell-phone as a time peice. But this is about wardrobe accessorizing more than anything else. It's just i want accessories, but I also am budgeting for a Precision V.
