I currently have a Fossil Blue that I got for 8th grade graduation. I like the thing, but it's time for change. I want to spend around $100. My current watch.

I would like: metal band, nothing too big, don't want a million dials.

I like Fossil but I'm not really sure about other similar brands out there. Recommendations?

update:

I went with the Tissot. I asked for it for my birthday since I frankly do not have the extra money to spend on a decent watch.

Pic!

It's this one.

There's tons of threads about this on ATOT. I'll put my vote in for Seiko again. :thumbsup:

Just get a Seiko :)

Seiko do some very nice classic dive watches, which is my thing :)

I just passed through this phase, decided I need to get a watch, looked at few at stores. If you want something small look at the Citizen Stiletto Series,I liked this one, ended up buying THIS ONE yesterday. Doesn't help that my brother works at a watch store :evil:

"Citizen watches with Eco-Drive technology don't need a battery! Inside a Citizen Eco-Drive watch is an energy cell that is constantly recharged when exposed to any kind of light. When it is fully charged, the energy cell can power the watch for 5 years!"

Neat, but I could count the number of times I've changed my watch battery on an amputee's hand.

Kind of like that , but a bit bigger and with a silver face. Has served me very well for 7 years, only had the battery changed once.

Get a Rolex, then spend an extra $50 seeing if it's real or not. Then get a concealed carry to protect watch.
