YAST: Recommendations for a nice watch?

[LordSnailz]

Yet Another Style Thread -
cousin (guy) is graduating from college soon, I was thinking of getting him a watch ... something that he wear to work as well something he can go out with.

Price range is around $100. In terms of type of watch, he's your typical geeky guy, bio med major who loves computers, and loves to game.

Any suggestions or recommendations ... or is that price range too low for watches these days. I haven't bought in over 6-7yrs.

But he can just check his computer for the time ^_^. I actually have no idea, I just shop for the best looking Timex at Wal-Mart.

$100 Watch - You'll likely be looking at Fossil and Kenneth Cole. They both sell some nice watches, i've owned a few from both of them and been happy.

Analog watch with digital features.

I have had absolutely terrible luck with Fossil. Maybe they have improved themselves over the past 14 or so years, but the one owned was of terrible quality.

For under $100 I would recommend a Timex or a Casio G-Shock.

I like this Citizen watch.

Classic and simple design, good price, and Citizen makes decent quality watches.

Skagen is another option as well - http://www.amazon.com/Skagen-B...&qid=1236707628&sr=1-3

I do like that one.

I personally prefer my watches a bit on the simple side. I think this works for the OP as well that wanted a watch that can both be for work and going out.

I'm sorry, but I think that looks pretty bad. I have the opinion of either be analog or be digital but don't cram both into one watch like that. The watch is not really attractive at all and if I understand the OP correctly this should be a professional looking watching that can by stylish to go out with, and frankly I really don't see that in this Casio.

I love my Skagen Titanium with Blue face ...

if he's a geek he will appreciate a mechanical watch, i know I do =P

in that price range take a look at hamilton.

Seiko are the bar none best cheap watches.
