I looking at buying a new watch since my current one is being held together by electrical tape. I'd like a titanium, analog watch <$300. Currently leaning towards seiko, but that's pretty much the only brand I've looked into. Any other good brands that offer watches in that price range?

This is the watch I'm looking at atm.

You know what's funny.. I went watch shopping and I saw a lot of seikos are nice..

I always thought they were so cheap...

yeah, that's my bad. I did a search and only saw the "what kind of watch do you own" thread.

Looks like seiko is a favorite. thanks guys.

Timex == really good for the price. So if you just want something that'll keep good time, Timex will do the trick.

I have a Seiko and I love it. Teally good build quality, and just a bit classier than a Timex.

I like Skagan because I have small wrists, so I don't like a watch with a big face (I think they look bad regardless of wrist size anyway).

Seiko Kinetics or Citizen Eco-Drive watches.

It really pays off not have to worry about it dying, hassle of replacement batteries; movement-powered or solar-powered (natural and artificial light), respectively.

Swiss Army- Made from Titanium alloy. Most light, STRONG and reliable watch I've ever owned.
