Best bang for buck watch?

[swbsam]

I'm looking for a watch and am looking for sub-$200 watch that'll hopefully last me a bit.

Any suggestions?

Good cheap watch? John Cameron Swayze knew whereof he spoke. "Timex: It takes a licking, and keeps on ticking"

Suunto!
I swear by 'em. I love them because they're tough and can do almost anything. T3 & T4 are both nice (T4 has the "coach" feature, which is sweet)...

Oris for all around good auto. IWC for high end auto.

I have a few Bulovas. I think if you shopped around, you could find a nice one for $200.

Casio >>> Timex for digital sport watches

A Fossil is really cheap and should last you a decent amount of time with only a few battery changes.

I have a citizen skyhawk AT. I love it.

For $200 you can get a GPS unit, have the most accurate time piece you're likely to ever encounter outside a seismic lab and know where you're at. Otherwise just get a Casio, Timex, or a cheap watch. Expensive watches are like Corvettes; you might as well be wearing a Viagra t-shirt.

SWATCH- very fashionable

I just picked up a Timex http://www.timex.com/gp/produc...500011&timexBrand=core for 40 bux from their warehouse sale. The strap is brown though.

And this one too my main watch now

Broke the glass on my 15 year old Eco-drive. 🙁

casio g-shock's are indestructible.

If you're not going to buy a really nice watch, is there a tremendous difference between a $40 watch and a $200 watch other than name brand?

That being said, my Swiss Army watch has lasted me 10 years and cost just over $300 ($375 now). After two battery changes it is still water proof and generally in good shape other than normal 10 years of wear, wear.

My watch

Done pretty much everything except light mine on fire and it's still rockin. Like $20 too, with all the features I'd need. 😕

I prefer analog. $40 Timex I have now is three years old; I haven't even changed the battery, and it still keeps time to within 5 seconds/month. I buy cheap watches for everyday wear because they tend to get beaten up at work (avionics repair).

I would've said that, but they're more in the $300-600 for their cheap ones. Well maybe there's some $250.
