Right now I have a cheap (but functional and fine) quartz analog wristwatch. I want a new one, something a bit more expensive (not much, like $60-80), with a silver link band and black face. Any suggestions? Should I look into an automatic watch or stick with a standard quartz? I like the idea of never having to replace a battery, but then again, it's probably more money, less accurate, and has more moving parts so maybe less reliable.
UPDATE 11/4: Well I chose a Skagen 105LTX because of its unique styling, titanium casing and band, price, and lifetime warranty. I received the watch on Monday, got it sized and got it back Thursday. I was under some suspicion as to the material of the band since it said titanium on Skagen's website and stainless steel on Amazon, but it turns out the casing and the band are indeed both titanium.
In short, I love the watch! I have to get adjusted to having a tighter band, my old watch was pretty loose and when I first put this one on I thought it was way too tight. But it still has room to slide and I realize this is just how a watch should fit and I need to get used to it. I liked the watch at first, but the more I look at it everyday the MORE I like it. The chrome markers and hands shine under all light settings and make it look very classy. But it is not a showy watch and has a subtle tone to it so it's appropriate to wear everyday with casual clothes. Really happy with it, hope it performs well for the long run.
One thing I am confused by though is how to get the date function working right. I know how to set the date, but the problem is it keeps advancing to the next date at the wrong time, like in the morning, or in the afternoon, depending on when I last set it. I'm not surprised by this, after all, it's not like the watch is aware of what time it is. But how do I align it so it advances to the next date at midnight?
