Looking for a watch

[alfa147x]

I love watches, i need a watch
so tired of using my cell phone as a watch
I love analog watches especially aviator watches
things like this
http://www.amazon.com/Breitlin...Q0Y9M/ref=cm_lmf_tit_3

i dont want to spend more then 25$
If i cant find one online, ill probably end up buying one from walli mart

PS
If i end up saving money ill most likely end up buying something for my camera so saving is out of the question

thanks!

you should be able to gets something like a timex for that much. it will be accurate, probably more so than those expensive mechanical watches

you can get watches for that but they are most likely going to be junk.

If you can deal with a leather/rubber band - http://www.campmor.com/webapp/...parent_category_rn=251

Look for some coupons too

 

[slayer202]

I like how the example watch is a 3,000 dollar watch

A knockoff would probably cost more than $25

I have priorities
it all started like this:

found a XTI for 600$ last year
dad said he would pay 200$ ( as 3 years worth of birthday gifts)
i put the other $400 in from work


then last november this girl at school bought it for $650
then a uncle of mine said he could get me a refurbished 30d for 800$
I was able to put in 150$ from work again

now i dont have all to much money ready to spend \ want to spend on a watch

You can find great watch deal if you decide to spend 100.00 or so, junk is junk man, get a good quility one or just by the cheapest you can at walmart.


My Gf got this watch for 78.00 last year for me at christmas, it has a saphire crystal and will last a lifetime

This is what I would get: Link Great reviews on Amazon, and there are more colors/styles available if you scroll down the page.

That's the best balance between your low-budget and your desired style that I could find.

Wenger has some good options too.

More Timex options. Scroll down the page to see them.

$25 won't get you a watch with the "looks" that you want. $50 sounds about right. Timex and Wenger are as good as any brand in that price range (like Fossil, Relic, etc.). They are reliable watches, with some degree of waterproofing, and some degree of toughness. But they have limits. Don't expect to climb Everest or go deep-sea diving with them.

For a high school student, they're fine.

It's a $15 watch, hell wal-mart and k-mart watches are more expensive...

 

[Tiamat]

For 25$ you wont be getting much metal, and you are looking at Timex. Breitling is definitely out of the question as that is 2 orders of magnitude more in cost. Seiko dips into the 100$ range on sale, which is 4 times your budget. Same with Citizen and others.
