(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best watches for women

Hop over on /r/watches (suggestions at the bottom cuz I went too far)

Some things you should know about the watch market though.

MRSP is always the highest amount a watch will go for (except for rare pieces like Rolex or Limited Edition).

Grey Market Price is a term used when talking about new watches that don't come from the manufacturer. They're usually 40% to 20% cheaper than the sticker price. The difference here is that they're similar to OEM products. They still come with all the packaging, but you don't get warranty (most of the time). If you're buying Grey Market I would suggest LongIslandWatch.com.

Don't be afraid to buy used. You can get some really solid pieces used. All of the watches in my collection are 2nd hand and I've only had an issue with one (I damaged it lol). /r/watchexchange is good. I don't trust eBay as much, and then there are other watch forums like Watch You Seek. For used you can expect something cheaper than Grey Market price. YMMV.

There are a couple of types of watches.

Dress - These are for formal occasions. They're usually the more plain watches but sometimes have Day/Date, Moonphase, etc.

Sports - These usually have a higher water resistance rating and can take more abuse. Most sports watches can be further broken down to Divers or Pilots.

Divers - These are the chunky watches you'll see with the ring around them that moves. They're probably one of the more eye catching ones to non-watch enthusiasts.

Pilot - These are similar to Divers but are typically more about function and have big numbers.

There are tons of styles and categories, but that should be enough to help you look for what you like.

Suggestions: Seiko and Orient can give you the best options under $200. They have some options above them or well below as well. If you still can't get used to the styling of some of these watches then I guess Invicta and Skagen will do the job. I prefer Skagen over Fossil, Invicta, etc. though.


Model| Price| Info
---|---|----
Seiko SKX | ~$200 | This one is a great daily watch. Goes with many outfits. The 007 and 009 are the same just different colors. 013 is a bit smaller. Strong modding community.
Seiko 5 | $50 - $150 | This is actually a line from Seiko not a model. I can't pick a specific model since everyone's tastes are different. If the watches are too small, Seiko also has the Recraft series. Those are generally bigger.
Bulova Accutron II | $150 - $200 | I typically don't like Quartz watches but Bulova offers the cheapest and smoothest second hand (My Rollie don't tick tock). This one is also a line, not a model.
Orient Bambino | ~$150 | Great dress watch. There are different versions and generations. The version (V) describes the style. There are currently 4 versions with multiple color variations. The Generation (G) is just like when Apple makes a new phone (iPhone 6 vs iPhone 7). Strap is kinda shitty. If you like the open heart I would recommend going with the Esteem instead.
Orient Ray/Mako | ~$180 | The Ray and the Mako are 2 different models, but they're both solid options if you're not a fan of the Seiko SKX. These can be considered better since they have hacking. I still prefer the SKX.

What style do you want ? Sport, Classic, toolwatch...

Automatic, quartz ?

My current Swiss favorites under a grand, Also im trying to go for the bracelet versions since getting the bracelet aftermarket is VERY expensive, so its preferable to get it on bracelet and then get leather aftermarket.

Hamilton Khaki Field
Comes in 42mm or 38mm depending on your wrist size, its sporty milliitary look might make it seem weird with a suit but its a very nice watch that goes with almost everything. Usualy powered by a 2824 Elaborate grade, but some models are now powered by the Hamilton H20 which has a lower beatrate but higher power reserve.

Certina DS1 Automatic
Very similar to the tissot visiodate while keeping the grown up look it actually looks a bit more modern and sporty, as well as not carrying that "vintage reissue" chip on it back. powered by a 2824.

Certina DS-8 Perciodrive
A quartz chronograph from certina, the thing on the Perciodrive is that it comes with a new ETA thermocompensated quartz rated at 10 seconds a year (a normal quartz is rated for 15 seconds a month), testing on watchuseek have put these closer to 1 second per year but that depends on how you treat it and luck of the draw from factory.

Victorinox 1/100 Chrono classic
This is one of my favorite quartz chronographs in general, the idea is that its a 1/100 quartz chronograph but the chronograph is hidden. The idea is that on plain sight its a normal watch with a big date complication, but when you press the crown it goes in to chronograph mode and everything resets to zero, So the seconds hand counts the seconds, minute hand counts the minutes, the hour hand counts the hours and the big date now displays 1/100 of a second. Its a beautiful chronograph.

As a bonus... If you wish to go off the reservation and not go swiss.

The new Seiko millitary
The Seiko 5 Logo is gone, now carries a 4R36 that hacks and handwinds and its quite the watch for under 200 bucks

Bulova Accutron II
This is a quartz watch but it has 2 advanrages over the normal quartz, it has a 16 step a second motor which allows the hand to move in a near glide, and it has a 262Khz quartz occilator which allows it to mantain a 10 second a year accuracy, but i must warn you that the first generation movements used in the precisionist were buggy and would sometimes start going towards 40-60 seconds per year (which is still 3-4x as accurate as a normal quartz)

Here are just a few things I personally want, as a fellow guy in his 20s, your son might want as well:

• Lighter - Original design by a company producing lighters since 1918.
  
  
• Hashish candle (if you think he rolls that way. Jonathan Adler is pretty quirky and interesting for an interior designer/homewares producer.)
  
  
• This American Life USB Stick (Custom-molded design includes hours of This American Life listening—not sure if this is his cup of tea either, but if he's into NPR or storytelling or anything like that, he might dig it.)
  
  
• A nice watch. You can't go wrong with that. Granted, this one is pricey, but it's worth looking into similarly well-designed timepieces.
  
  
• Seasoned and baked crickets. Because guys like weird shit like that.
  
  
• Creepy crawly taxidermy-esque stuff. Evolution, a store in NYC, specializes in things like this. I purchased a bat encased in resin there, and it looks pretty gnarly.
  
  
• Can't go wrong with a nice razor.
  
  
• A good dvd book. I really enjoyed The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which I just read this past summer. As far as DVDs go, you might have a better idea of what he'd be into.

I definitely second checking the buying guide in /r/Watches

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you need to decide what you are looking for in a bit more detail. Is it a particular look or style? Is it an automatic or quartz movement? There are a lot of options even once you get these two aspects narrowed down. You can always buy the watch and strap separate as well, to get the combination you are looking for.

I personally have a Citizen Nighthawk on a black Hirsch Liberty strap and a Citizen Eco-Drive with blue hands on a brown Hirsch Liberty strap. These are very likely much cheaper than you are looking for as a grad gift, given the $700 limit listed, but the Citizen Skyhawk is closer to your limit and is really nice too.

When it comes to automatic movements, it will be quite easy to get to the $700 limit. Hamilton is a favorite, with both the Khaki Field and the Jazzmaster being good possibilities.

My only advice is to stay away from "fashion" brand watches. A little reading in /r/watches, particularly the buying guide and sidebar, should help you a lot.

Good luck!

I love the idea of having a signature timepiece! Most days I wear a super retro-looking gold Casio digital watch. I do prefer analog watches, but I like that it's light, has an alarm, and can tell me the date (and was super cheap, lol). If I'm feeling like looking a bit smarter I throw on my Daniel Wellington Classic Bristol in rose gold/dark brown leather. I love the men's watch trend but I'm very petite with tiny wrists so I can't quite tell if I look cool or just silly wearing it, but I love it all the same!

Going off of this, if you really wanted a watch in the spirit of Daniel Wellington — that is to say, not necessarily an engineering marvel or an established brand but attractive looking — you could get a Sinobi for like $10 or some other cheap brand. Extremely similar aesthetic, similar if not the same precision quartz movement, save a large amount of money.

I do agree with you though, I think it's best to save up for a dress watch that everyone can appreciate. Seiko Cocktail Time continues to be a good choice.

After searching /r/watches and considering both the Bulova 96B104 and the Orient Class I chose to go with the Bulova. I have a really small 6 inch wrist and needed a nice dress watch that wouldn't look out of proportion on my wrist.

I loved the minimal look of both watches but I wanted to have a seconds hand, plus I preferred 37mm over 38mm so I went with the Bulova. I'm really happy with my choice. I wish I had a better camera to capture how nice the Bulova looks.

The Bulova is a great size for my wrist, it looks proportionally bigger in the picture, here is one that shows a wider perspective, but it still looks more proportional in person.

My only criticism is that the leather strap could be better quality, it just seems a little too thin and delicate. However, its not something that distracts from the watch or is worth overlooking the watch. I may replace the strap later on, but for now I'm going to see if it grows on me.

Hi! if you're going to get a fashion watch, which is made of a chinese quartz mechanism and fake gold, you might as well look up Timex Fairfield watches, they have their own quartz movement ( Similar to a DW) probably a similar case and everything and very minimalistic + you have a second hand. With every watch if you so desire you can change the band fairly easily as long as you know the right size and the fairfield comes with great indiglo illumination. IMHO, for the price, you're far better off with the timex even though the timex brand isn't as trendy as Daniel Wellington these days.
Just linking you to amazon but be sure to look up timex website because they have PLENTY of other colors. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0194L66F8/ref=twister_B01LWOGQM5?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
and, https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/5dcer3/timexfairfield_minimalism_is_the_game/ this is a great example of how nice a well sorted fairfield can look like and imho will look as good as a DW and will last easily as long and cost less.
;)

And for the gold vs silver, it's all up to you really, I'm personally not a gold type of person but I feel lime I'm starting to like it more a little everyday but I'm definitely a silver kind of man.

A lot of people recommend the regular Weekenders but they tick really loudly. They look great and are worth their price but the tick bothers me.

The best watches I've found for under $100 are:

Seiko 5 in your preferred color

Casio MDV Diver

Timex Weekender Chrono (Doesn't tick loudly)

If you choose one of these it's really easy to switch out the strap with one of these (spring bar tool)

I own all three of these watches and they are great. You can also check out different straps on Amazon or sites like cheapestnatostraps.

and a cheap plug for /r/Watches

I got the weekender on Black Friday for $11. I didn't really need or want a weekender because everyone and their mother have it, but at that price there's literally no reason not to. I was surprised at how good it actually looks, really simple but fits my wrist almost perfectly. I got my friend the chronograph edition for 25$, and I think it looks even better. Best 2 deals during entire Black Friday.

Depends on exactly what you're looking for, but you can definitely find nicer looking analog watched. Casio has some nicer looking ones, this one from Sketchers has a nicer look to it. Fossil also has some more attractive digital watches, but they are at a higher price point.

Lovely watch! I have one as well and it's one of my favorites. To answer your question, I don't think that there's any "official" nato strap manufacturer - it refers to the style rather than any specific brand. Personally, I'm a big fan of Crown & Buckle. They've got a huge array of nato straps, including some leather ones that I'm particularly fond of. I think this C&B chromexel NATO would look excellent with the Maratac.

That said, I've currently got my Maratac on a brown Hirsch Liberty strap and I would be remiss if I didn't recommend that as well. It looks absolutely fantastic with the Maratac. The stitching on the strap matches the off-white lume on the dial almost exactly.

EDIT: for metal bracelets, I think that strapcode is pretty well-regarded. I like the looks of the Super Engineer Type II, and I've heard some good things, but I don't have one myself.

If the school doesn’t provide a stethoscope then a littmann is the way to go. Get the classic 3 version on amazon, so you can save money and you will be able to hear everything. Link: 3M Littmann Classic III Monitoring Stethoscope, Rainbow-Finish, Caribbean Blue Tube, 27 inch, 5807 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DNUOV04/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PsY1DbPWRXZQQ (you can change the colors, that’s the one I got)

I also recommend a good little notebook, so you can write notes while in clinical.

Pens, lots of pens.

A cheap watch with a second hand, I got one on amazon from Casio. It’s water resistant and has the date on it too. Link: Casio Women's LRW200H-7BVCF Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00791QYMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-rY1Db4DF8QDB

Good luck!

Here are some options.

1. Swatch Very inexpensive watch. Swiss made.
   
   
2. Bulova This is more of a silver dial.
   
   
3. Bulova Same watch as above, but in gold.
   
   
4. Tissot Very nice minimalistic watch, other options with different numerals and indices available. Swiss made.
   
   
5. Swatch Very cool mechanical watch, single screw holding everything together. Swiss made.
   
   
6. Citizen Kind of a translucent white, solar powered.
   
   
7. Tissot Very nice looking time piece. Swiss made.

Thanks a bunch for your response!

I do use the timer on my watch quite a bit at work, but I need to replace it soon and I'm not opposed to switching to something a little more feminine. Maybe something like this, this, or even just this? (My wedding band is silver, which I assume matters for metallic-colored watches.)

I do sometimes wear zip-up hoodies in lab, but I know I can't be mad when those make me look like a kid. :) I have a few cardigans that I really like, so I'll see about adding some more to my wardrobe. And I can make an effort to wear blouses more often. Sometimes I worry about wearing clothes I like to work because of how often I'm over at the mouse facilities, but that's not really an excuse, since I'm already in the habit of changing pants before heading over anyway.

Thanks so much for the shoe suggestions. Those are all lovely and along the lines of what I was picturing, but I didn't know the names (again, I suck at shoes) so I was having trouble even googling them to confirm the look.

I'm looking to buy a nice ($200-$800) watch to use as an engagement gift/proposal. He expressed interest in the size, shape, and coloring of this timex weekender but I want something a little nicer. Aesthetically the Shinola Runwell Chrono is perfect. But, I've heard people tend to dislike Shinola because of its a high costs for a quartz based watch. I don't know much about this topic and was wondering what reddit thinks. Should I get the Shinola? Do you have suggestions that have a similar look?

Some more info about his style: This would be his first decent watch. He's a med student and usually wears business casual in and out of work. Thanks!

My daily driver is a timex weekender chrono. Not exactly UL, but it's been reliable for several years and I like the way it looks. I replaced the strap with a woven perlon nato-style strap that's a lot lighter and more comfortable for hiking. The non-chrono version is lighter but I find the chronograph very useful in the backcountry for things like keep track of aquamira, steeping tea, tracking mileage/pace.

Under $100, with that particular style, I'd recommend the Timex Weekender. You can throw on a NATO strap if you can't find a Weekender with a band you particularly like, but if you just search for "Timex" in men's watches you may find a similar model you like.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LW3RCW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_NKlKwbXQRB65S

If you like the look of the chronographs, though (that's the first watch in your pictures), you can get this watch and buy a leather strap with the money you're saving.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QIJ6HW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_MQlKwbWNSA6P0

Make sure to check out the customer images in the reviews for both of those; despite their price; they look pretty slick.

When you take a pulse and use the second hand , the screen will shut off if you aren't moving your arm around (cuz you're too busy intensely counting the beats!). So you gotta shake your arm every so often to wake the watch up when you're doing vitals. Maybe there is a way to delay the sleep function and I haven't found it yet.

It also doesn't have a dedicated 24-hr /military time watch face, unless you set your actual phone to 24 hrs as well-- which might not be a bad idea to start hammering it in.

Otherwise, I'm really happy w it. It was helpful when my clinical instructor messaged me on the floor. It also kept me off my phone so I didn't instinctually pull it out at the hosptial. You can also use it to set reminders.

A regular watch off Amazon w a 24 hr function will work just fine =) the Casio I linked below served me well!


Casio Women's LRW200H-7BVCF Dive Series Sport Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00791QYMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MwtlDbDHF7F0N

That's the classic, but if you want something more flashy you can go with this, which is what /u/DazlSquid was talking about. If you are an absolute legend you can go for the ultimate utility wristwear. Just make sure you don't have an allergy to the metal coating on the watch. I bought your model a few months ago (personal grail), and I absoultely love it, but I get a rash on my wrist when I wear it. I believe it has something to do with the nickel ions from the coating on the stainless steel. Good luck!

This Casio watch in gold. Three of my friends noticed that they had the same watch and it spread like wildfire throughout the rest of my group. Now we all have some type of Casio watch.

Friendship aside lol, I really like how slim and simple the watch is. I also have a rose gold Michael Kors watch, but I reach for my Casio watch all. the. time. Plus it's so cheap that I don't feel bad when I bang it around, like I tend to do with everything I own lol.

if you want a chronograph in that price range, take a look at Timex. They have plenty of options, like the Weekender chronograph or the Expedition chronograph

If you are interested in a Seiko chronograph, one thing to be aware of is that the chronograph records the minutes on a 60min subdial, which is really tiny and hard to read, and kind of limits their usefulness past 59 seconds in my experience. Compare to the Timex chronograph, which records minutes on a much easier to read 30min subdial, with the trade-off that it can only record up to 30min.

a dive watch with a rotating bezel can also be used as a timer. Timex has some diver-styled watches like the Allied Coastline or Expedition Ranger, but they don't really have the water resistance to be true dive watches. You can look at the Casio Duro as well, which actually is a dive watch.

these so far are all quartz watches. if you are interested in a mechanical watch, your budget probably limits you to Seiko5 or Vostok, maybe Orient if you can stretch your budget a bit more

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a leather band suggestion for my SKX007. I received it as a gift on the standard Jubilee bracelet and have a few simple NATO straps which I use everyday, but I want to find a rustic looking brown leather band. As popular as the SKX007 is, I'm hoping you all can supply some suggestions!

I tried this from amazon but the buckle was too large, and it was not easy to remove with my tools, so I ended up returning it.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a basic black leather band, white face, black text- but something better quality than a Timex. I like the look of this, but would like a better quality watch: https://www.amazon.com/Braun-Analog-Wrist-Watch-White/dp/B003PCONTE/

I've seen some weekenders on this sub and really liked its clean look. I was surprised to see on the amazon that you could buy them in various different straps, at many different prices. I chose this one as an homage to my alma mater. The indiglo is a nice touch.

Next up to purchase for me are either: the Casio gold calculator watch, the Casio gold world time watch (though I like the classic illuminator one as well, not to mention I'm torn between gold vs. stainless steel), or the Seagull 1963 . Also debating between the Casio MVD106 and a Seiko diver (so many options...).

A water-resistant watch. I got this one for nursing school and still using it after graduating. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LRW200H-7BVCF-Sport-Watch/dp/B00791QYMQ/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1573177845&refinements=p_89%3ACasio&s=apparel&sr=1-2

As for shoes, I always get Sketchers sneakers. Doesn't have to be expensive to be comfortable. I had a pair of expensive Dansko shoes but I started getting foot problems from it.

Some clinical professors may want you to bring a pocket med book instead of looking up meds on your phone.

A multicolor pens are useful too for clinical if you're into color coding your notes. So many nurses use these exact pens. https://www.amazon.com/BIC-4-Color-Ballpoint-Assorted-3-Count/dp/B002JFR8Q8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32R3Y4SAB7T5N&keywords=4+color+bic+pen&qid=1573178363&s=office-products&sprefix=4+color+bic+%2Cfashion%2C176&sr=1-1

​

Good luck!

You're really limited to Orient and Seiko if you want an auto under $200. Not saying they're bad choices, they're actually pretty great. But I get the feeling they're not your thing.

In that case, how about the Timex Weekender Chrono line?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072L3ZW39/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

My grandpa always said every man needs a nice wristwatch. Nixon has really stylish watches that are affordable. I have this one in a different color and I love it. Heck you could even get a Timex with a simple face and leather strap.

Happy (almost) Birthday!!

Hello everyone! I would like to get the community's recommendation for a classic steel case, white dial, brown leather strap dress watch and a diver's watch. My current collection of watches include - Seiko SNN241, Seiko SNA695, Seiko Kinetic SKA553, Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-1CR and a Timex Weekender Fairfield.
I am looking for a classic brown leather strap white dial dress watch. I looked around and finally deicded on this Orient Bambino Version 2, but it is not available anywhere! Out of stock at all retailers. What would you recommend in this style which can be an alternative to the Bambino V2 which is in the price range $200-$250? I am also looking for a Diver's watch in the $150 to $250 range. The choices in this category are quite a lot - Seiko SKX Collection, Seiko Monster SRP Collection, the Orient Ray, Ray II, Mako, Mako USA II. It's overwhelming. With the Diver's watch I would like your recommendation specific to quality and technology of the watch. This way I will be able to prioritize my choice based on quality first and then the aesthetics. Thank you!

You could if you really wanted to. Something like this would almost certainly fit (or any straight-ended 20mm bracelet). One risk with that is that the tone or finish of the metal may not match the watch's very well, since it's not made by the manufacturer.

Metal bracelets are typically more for informal wear rather than formal. It seems counter-intuitive to some people, but trust me, a nice neutral leather strap (black or dark brown) looks a lot dressier than a bracelet, and can really make the watch "pop." Metal bracelets were originally designed for sports watches, which is why you typically see them on divers.

With jeans, tshirt and boots/sneakers? Get this and throw the NATO strap on it and save yourself $900

I honestly get more compliments on this watch than any other I've worn. It really is a nice looking casual watch in person.

Ah, Thank you for your reply! Now I know this type of watch is okay for a man to wear. Now I just gotta find something like this but better quality. Already ordered a Timex Fairfield. Comes in in a few days. Wonder if it looks nice in real life too. :)

Link here.

Even with the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I was not expecting much for my 14 dollars. Happily, I was wrong. While I think it would only look good on a chunky watch (my pilot is fairly large) as it is a thick (4.06mm) leather strap with a sizable Pammy-syle buckle, the quality is just crazy-good for the money.

Huh, I wrote many more words about my neat and cheap new watch strap than I meant to.

TL;DR: 14 dollars! Recommended!

i'm not a big jewelry person, but i have a couple of pieces that i wear pretty regularly. one is [this necklace] (http://needsupply.com/blah-blah-blah.html) from Need Supply. i also wear my [casio classic gold watch] (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LA670WGA-1DF-Digital-Gold-tone/dp/B003BJFQW4/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1469833917&sr=1-4&nodeID=7147440011&keywords=women%27s+casio+classic) every day, and although it isn't really super "scandinavian minimalist" in design, i feel like it integrates really well into my fairly minimal wardrobe and ties in well with other gold jewelry.

I've given Casio watches of the same size to a couple of my female friends as gifts, both of them have very small wrists. The size works for them, they're happy. You should be ok.

Casio also has digital watches specifically for women if you want something smaller though.

Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LA670WA-1-Daily-Digital/dp/B000GB0G2A/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1523331771&sr=8-24&keywords=casio

You should probably just buy your girlfriend what she asked for.

That being said, there are many options for similar style watches of much higher quality and of varying cost.

In that price range, I would suggest:

The Timex Fairfield

The Tissot Everytime

or (if you're willing to shell out more for real bauhaus instead of bauhaus inspired) The Junghans Max Bill


The Tissot is probably the best value proposition as it is Swiss Made with a high quality ETA (quartz) movement and and a sapphire crystal while the Timex comes with cool options like Indiglo Dial, and the Junghans has the most horological history behind it.

At that price just get a timex weekender. That will be your simplest approach. There are some various timex models that range from ~$20-$50. When you want to mix it up more later, you can simply switch out the strap.

This is assuming you don't yet have any particularly strong opinions on watch designs yet. Look around and find something you like! Then you can search for a budget version.

I personally wear this Sinobi watch for really cheap. The strap is crap on this though, so I invested in a nice leather strap from Lakehouse Leathers, another redditor who makes straps and stuff by hand out of American leather. The watch and strap together probably only cost me ~$30 at the time.

A warning about buying that watch - it's shipped internationally (for free) so while it's cheap and looks okay, it took over a month to get to me.

Yes sir, here it is. It's cheap, but so far I really like it. In person it looks slightly lighter than the brown color in the picture, which looks good imo.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016PXQBIA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would pick up a swatch for the everyday/match most things piece to balance out what you have. Or save some coin and pick up a Seiko 5 — have fun with that gift card!

I have also been in the market for a professional, minimalist watch! As much as I like the simple design of the DWs, there seems to be a consensus that they are definitely overpriced for their quality. I'd say that if you become okay with the price, go for it, but otherwise, it might be good to wait it out a little and check some other resources.

Some places I've been browsing:

/r/watches - obligatory shout-out. This isn't great for women, but it does give you some background on brands and quality.

Project Watches - I know nothing about the quality of these, and they're probably overpriced also, but some of them are sort of cool. I thought this was neat. But I've been looking for a black face!

This is sort of similar to your example. Here's another one - less minimalist, unfortunately - that's maybe similar. This is silver but simple; this looks maybe the closest to the DW you linked to.

I should say I'm not sure about the reputation of these brands, either, because I was doing quick searches, but they're at least at a more manageable price point!

I've also found it helpful to look out for smaller watches in the men's site sections! They tend to lack the embellishments of women's watches. (Though finding rose gold there might be tricky.)

That's a good suggestion, though the leather strap that comes with the regular Weekender is kinda cheap, the Chrono version is much better. Personally I'd buy the cheapest Weekender I could find and then replace the strap with a better quality leather one.

I would also suggest looking at the Weekender Fairfield or Waterbury models:

https://www.amazon.com/Timex-Unisex-TW2P91100-Fairfield-Slip-Thru/dp/B01F8WEVT0?th=1

https://www.amazon.com/TIMEX-Watch-WATERBURY-limited-Male/dp/B00TX6I1EO/ref=pd_sbs_241_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00TX6I1EO&pd_rd_r=4FBP6AVCH77FMA8593E8&pd_rd_w=9pFZo&pd_rd_wg=0bPc0&psc=1&refRID=4FBP6AVCH77FMA8593E8

Was looking for something along these lines for my girlfriend and eventually settled on a Timex Weekender Farfield, it comes on a NATO so it's easy to swap the strap to whatever (18mm) and it keeps time much better than any automatics in the same price range. Plus, Indiglo is better than lume in most situations. Hard to argue for the price! I also looked at Mondaines, Braun, Tsovet, Boccia, Skagen, and a few others. There's also a new startup (creator posted here recently) for "item." watches that looked pretty nice.

Weekender is a bit small -- I'd recommend checking out the weekender chrono. I'm a fan of the navy and it'll pair great with the Lakehouse Leather straps on sale right now

$129 isn't bad for a quartz watch, but this one strikes me as a fashion brand, one that uses a $15 movement and sticks it in an attractive case with a massive markup, and no horological significance. Alternatives:

-Timex Fairfield

-Citizen AU1080-11L

-Bulova Accutron

-Messerschmitt KR200-BDBL

-Orient Bambino

It's certainly a sharp looking watch, but not worth the $100+ price tag IMO unless you can get it at a steep discount. If that's exactly what you want though don't let me talk you out of it.

Sure! It uses standard 20mm spring bars, so you can fit any 20mm bracelet / strap to it that you want. It's pretty easy to swap out yourself with a spring bar tool, or you can have any jeweler / watch repair store do it for a few bucks.

Something to be aware of though, is that the end links on a bracelet (the little piece that makes it look like there is no gap between the watch and bracelet) won't just fit perfectly with any bracelet. Hamilton doesn't make an official bracelet for this watch.

However, if you didn't care about the end links, you can get a metal band without end links, like any of these, or many, many more:

You've heard wrong. MVMT is the absolute worst company for the price. It is just a chinese watch with chinese movement, nothing new. avoid brands like these, for ex: Daniel Wellington. I suggest you start by looking at Timex, my favorite brand. After that, Seiko, Orient, Citizen etc. I'm giving you amazon links to my favorite ones.

I hope you find what you are looking for, ciao.

I have this strap below on one of my seikos and I put a double deployant clasp from mywatchmaker.net and it wears very nicely. I don’t know if they ship worldwide but I have been very happy with it and would by another one.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PO1WSU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TORBCb173N4SJ

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TW2R63200-Weekender-Double-Layered-Slip-Thru/dp/B072L3ZW39/ and its very versatile. Wear it pretty much every day (except suit days, for those I break out my cream faced, thinner watch). It's not restrictive at all.

Recommend immediately tossing the leather strap that comes with it. Feels like a bandaid. Replace with some basic NATO straps (white/blue, blue/red, white/blue/red, black/grey, olive, etc).

I'm a 5'2 person with short hair and never wear make-up. I second the person who says having a good haircut makes all the difference.

A second thing you can do is focus on the details of whatever you're wearing. If you wear a watch, you can look older if it's nicer looking rather than a sports watch (I have this one). If you normally wear sneakers, you can swap them out for shoes that are sneaker-like, but nicer. (These are mine.) And if you always wear a ratty jacket (me) you can elevate that with ... something. Maybe a blazer? I'm still working on that one. Point is to focus on the details.

My "minimalist approach" is not owning a watch :)

If you want a super basic one, check Amazon... there's basic black/white Swatch ones for pretty cheap.

Here's a $10 Casio one I bought to use when I'm camping and don't want to have my phone on me to tell time.

Honest opinion? Looks like another fashion brand. Seems they use a lot of the Miyota 1l45 quartz movement, which costs about $10 to manufacture. You are paying $150-$200 for a $10 movement and a cheap case. The style is very common, for example the new Timex Weekender Fairfield, or Tissot Everytime, which are both much better quality brands. But who am I to tell you how to spend your hard earned money? If you like it, buy it, and have no regrets.

Hello, I've been browsing through all the Timex chronograph watches on Amazon, the ones in the 60-80 dollar range and I really dig them. Are there other brands with sweet chronograph watches, in the same price range, to compare them to? Thanks.

Example: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TWG012800QM-Analog-Quartz-Weekender/dp/B01GI8SU5O/ref=pd_sbs_241_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5YBE3K8E6MBJMKRPEY07

I also have 6.5" wrists and here is a 40mm watch on my wrist: https://i.imgur.com/hpT1RcU.jpg

40mm is as large as I'm willing to go. I'd be concerned that 43mm is too large for you.

Note, the design of that watch isn't that unique--you can find several like it or better, including the Timex Weekender: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-Weekender-Fairfield-Quartz-Leather/dp/B0194L66F8/

And the Orient Bambino: http://orientwatchusa.com/collections/mens-watches/classic/er2400mw

EDIT: I see that /u/jaetran found an even closer Orient watch for you. I would also agree with that recommendation.

Hijacking the top comment to save people some stress about loudness. I've personally handled over 50 timex watches, from the weekenders on down. If they have a moving second hand, they're loud as fuck.

BUT, the weekender chrono's are absolutely silent. The second hand is stationary and the seconds dial is really really quiet. I have this one, but pretty much all timex chrono's are quiet.

http://www.amazon.com/Timex-Unisex-TW2P624009J-Weekender-Display/dp/B00QIJ6HW2/ref=lp_12730422011_1_5?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1450096783&sr=1-5&nodeID=12730422011

A long long time ago on a thread like this, somebody recommended this cheap Casio watch and I swear I haven't taken it off in probably 6 months, I love it!

The font on the Xentum is pretty unique. If that's what you like most about the watch I'm not sure where to point you. That said, the Timex weekender has a similar simple white face and you could easily swap in a red nato strap for another $15 bucks. I'd recommend a Seiko809 over the Timex because I feel like it's better bang for your dollar but, to my knowledge, they do not offer it with a white face.

Something about that watch sorta reminds me of this Braun watch but I'm not sure swapping the strap would be as easy/possible.

If you're okay with a little kitsch, the Casio Data Bank in gold is a fun digital watch. It's not for everyone, but if you're okay not taking it too seriously, it's a good looking watch.

Sinobi - best watch for $10, also seems to fit your description (they sell gold ones too)

If your budget is less than 100, I'd recommend looking at quartz watches. My dad isn't as into watches, for him it's just a tool. So I wouldn't want him to deal with the downsides of a mechanical watch (i.e. inaccuracies over time, stops if not worn).

Maybe look at some timex weekender styles, they have a lot of interesting designs:

Here's an example

Another timex weekender (I have this one and it ticks really loudly)

Here's a watch I've been a little interested in lately (Citizen BM8180)

A watch. One of the few true 'deals' I've seen on Black Friday / Cyber Monday is for Timex watches on Amazon. Last year, I purchased the Expedition Chronograph for <$25. You can also opt for a Timex Weekender or a Seiko like this one.

I get compliments on my Timex Weekender Chrono very often. "Can't stop looking at it", a friend said the other day.

Thanks, it's this one, brown Hirsch liberty.

I wouldn't. Buy something like this for school: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00791QYMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

Save the nice watch for your off time!

If you're looking for a nice and affordable watch, check out these options. They're going to be much better than the quartz watches ASOS offers.

Silver and slightly different by orient(but minimalist)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQBGNAG/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought it as a gift my dad, came out quite nice for $100-ish

Let me see what I can pull up for good quality watches with a minimal style.

Here's an Orient Bambino V3, you can find it in different color faces.

Here's a Timex Weekender Farfield, there are also different faces for this.

Or you could just cop a Seiko Spirit "Blue Spark" SCVS013.

Is 22-26mm a hard limit? I've got tiny wrists (...13cm, alas) myself, but I find anything up to 39mm doable as long as the lugs aren't too long. The Timex Women's Weekender is a rather pretty, minimalist watch, and only 36 quid... 37mm case though. I suppose it really depends on her preferences.

Looks like a calculator watch lol
http://www.amazon.com/Casio-DBC611G-1D-Memory-Calculator-Databank/dp/B007HHWF0W

To be honest, it's pretty unremarkable. Not worth the $175. On the other hand - if what you wanted was overwhelming blandness, then this is a great watch.

Skagen aren't known for their quality. Their watches are alright, but over-priced.

If you don't need a date window, then try the Timex Weekender Fairfield - a forum favourite. Get a leather band and a couple of nato straps and you're set.

Skagens are also not Danish-made, despite their Scandinavian pretensions. They are an American company masquerading as a Denmark boutique, whose products are made cheaply in China.

There should definitely be some Accutrons that would fit. This one is supposed to be 42mm lug to lug for example.

Fwiw this is a great watch: White Big Dial Mens Lady Women Unisex Leather Quartz Sport Wrist Watch Gift SNB011 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009WG8U8M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TU6Jxb5EB9A3N

It's inexpensive. Just rip off the crappy straps it comes with and buy some nice NATO straps. Whole setup costs under $30 (straps are more expensive than the watch, lol) and I've received countless complements—even from some friends with watches that cost half my paycheck.

I'm trying to decide on a Timex Weekender to be paired mainly with casual/denim clothing. The more versatile, the better. It appears the main things to decide on are 1. case size (40mm or 38mm), 2. face style (chronograph or standard), 3. face color, and 4. strap color. Below are a few of the options I've been looking at; I'm open to other ideas also.

40mm

• Chronograph 40mm - Brown/Silver/Blue
  
• Chronograph 40mm - Tan/Blue
  
• Standard Face 40mm - Brown/Blue
  
• Standard Face 40mm - Brown
  
• Standard Face 40mm - Tan/Cream/Olive
  
  38mm
  
  
• Standard Face 38mm - Brown/?

This watch has some funny reviews and Q&As as well

So I've been wearing one of those digital Casio watches for awhile now and I'm looking to change it up a bit. Everyone seems to recommend the Timex weekender as a good cheap watch, so I was thinking of going with that. I just want to know exactly which face/band I should go with.

I'm changing up my wardrobe for this summer, and it's going to consist mostly of chino shorts in various colors, tshirts, and some light button-ups I got from H&M with boat shoes or basic sandals (Rainbow). I was thinking of going for something preppy-ish like this watch face with this band. I would just get the one that comes with that band, but the watch face looks weirdly formal and out of place to me. Also getting the two parts separately actually ends up cheaper.

Any thoughts? Does that combo work? Would it be alright with the olive band?

• Hirsch
  
  
• Crown and Buckle
  
  
• ColaReb
  
  I think any of these three leather straps would go really well with that watch. They're all high quality straps in your budget and would really look good.
  I'm not a huge fan of Natos or Perlons on a diver style watch. A leather nato maybe.

clockwise from top left:

• RFID blocking stainless steel wallet
  
• Casio LA670WA-1
  
• Field Notes pitch black edition
  
• Spigen Ultra Hybrid Nexus 5 case
  
• keyring
  
  • keys (obviously)
    
  • Kingston DTSE9 (8 GB)
    
  • perpetual calendar keychain (you can get these a lot cheaper though)
    
  • Victorinox Swiss Army knife
    

My first watch was a Casio with a calculator. Love that watch. Might even buy that again just for old times sake.

Now comes in gold version or you can get him a classic $10 Casio cos you know he would probably break it or lose it.

Actually what am I talking about. Don't 11 years kids now a days want you to buy them an Iphone and Ipads?

I picked up the Silver 5 with the intention of coughing up the $77 for the leather band. Well It was delayed, then delayed some more, so I said screw it and just bought this guy for like $15.

You can easily unscrew the pins from the Fenix and just slide them into that band and it works like a champ. No quick changes, but that's not a high priority for me.

I'd second a Timex, but I'd recommend one from their Fairfield collection.

The Hamilton Intra Matic is probably the obvious choice, but if that's out of your price range all I can think of is something cheap like this.

I purchased this strap off of amazon. I'm actually really pleased at the quality and look of the strap at the price point.

It's not a unisex watch, Timex MAKES unisex watches but labels them as so.

I hate to break it to you but the watch he linked:

This one... is not in the same style of their unisex version which is here

White dial with gold hands and casing is a feminine style, it's not like they just "made it smaller." Perhaps you should grow a pair of eyes. Add that to the list behind learning how to act like a decent person.

Seiko SUP198 and change the band.

Seiko SUP196 on ebay.

Depending on her a Casio LGA670WGA or a Casio LTP1169N might also make a good small Christmas present.

This would be a good versatile watch that is very affordable: Timex Unisex TW2R63200 Weekender Chrono Brown Double-Layered Leather Slip-Thru Strap Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072L3ZW39/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IN.BCb05EJBW8

It’s blue, a chronograph, quartz movement means it won’t need much maintenance beyond a battery every few years, and has a leather strap that makes it a bit more dressy.

Timex makes a good affordable alternative

http://timex.ca/weekender-collection

A weekender chronograph? Timex is pretty hard to beat for cheap quartz chronographs.

I got a Sinobi, which cost $10 and looks quite a bit like a DW. Buy a cheap NATO strap and you're set for ~$25.

Im looking for one myself as I love the 033 but hate the bracelet. Here’s one. https://www.longislandwatch.com/Seiko_44G2JZ_Watch_Bracelet_p/44g2jz.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjwp_DPBRCZARIsAGOZYBSruk_6qnVu11w7H6wHianG0flkeMllqq5WxfaZPV_s3t8sBT-6rlkaAqSkEALw_wcB

I have the same gold Casio watch in the left picture.

For those interested in picking up the ladies.

I picked up this cheap-o leather (not even sure if its real leather) nato strap from ebay some time ago.

[This] (https://www.amazon.com/White-Unisex-Leather-Quartz-SNB011/dp/B009WG8U8M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478197682&sr=8-1&keywords=sinobi) is the watch itself.

Yep. Start with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TW2P91200-Fairfield-Leather-Slip-Thru/dp/B0194L66F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479411773&sr=8-1&keywords=timex+fairfield+rose

Then remove the movement/dial, take the hands off, and carefully pull the dial off. Spray matt white, but very thin coats so you see the raised indices, but the whole thing is white (and the logo is gone). Then stick on the transparency in the middle.

This is the exact one. It's not too bad when you consider the official Motorola band is going to be $79.99. It also feels very solid. I think it's a high quality band.

looks like a casio calculator watch.

Looking for two similar, one for the GF, one for me.

We are both in medical, She's an RN and I'm a Vet Tech, looking for a nice accurate beater, I prefer having a dive bezel for timing, I don't think she has a preference. Readability is a huge plus, as well as a second hand.

I've found this for her and this one for me

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on possible solar watches or other suggestions. The idea of it lasting without any maintenance is wonderful, but they're 15$ watches so whatever.

I have a Seiko SNZF Urchin that I've been wearing, but the amount of shit I've gotten on it is making me want to not wear it anymore.

This gold Casio digital watch! I saw another user post it in FFA last year and bought it immediately. I like that it’s fairly cheap and digital without looking like a sports watch. amazon link

Here you go: £8.13. It's quite thick, and the buckle is huge, but you can always put a smaller buckle on if you really need to. What Seiko is it for?

It's this I believe but with a different band

It's also available in a bunch of other color combinations.

Im a mechanical watch person, and my go to suggestions in the under $200 price range are Orient and Seiko. Even the $70 Seiko 5. I have had one of these for near a decade and it still just chugs along. Probably the most suggested budget dress watch has to be the Orient Bambino. If youre looking for a quality quartz that has chrono functions, I dont think the Timex Weekender can be beat.

There are others, but those can get you started.

There's a 37mm version which is for women but basically looks the same: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0194MLAK8/ref=pd_aw_sim_241_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YS64H17K0A80EMGVVME0&dpPl=1&dpID=81VLn%2BrKB%2BL&th=1

its not in the list, but the watch applies to the discount. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QIJ6HW2?keywords=chronograph&nodeID=6358539011&qid=1450517948&ref_=sr_1_2&refinements=p_89%3ATimex&s=apparel&sr=1-2

I just got this same model at Amazon for $27.36 shipped with their 30% off Cyber Monday deal.

I don't have a Fairfield, but I do have a Weekender Chronograph. You could get the 37mm Fairfield if you're worried about the size of the 41mm.

I am in need of new shoes for walking/everyday wear and I am torn between purchasing Jack Purcells, Adidas ZX flux slip ons, Nike Huaraches, or Adidas Tubulars. If I go with Tubulars, should I get them in white or bliss purple?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a casio watch? I'm digging these in gold, black, and black.

Timex Fairfield is $48.75 which is its lowest price according to CamelCamelCamel

This is typically popular casio. I have this but it’s larger, have no regrets about buying it and wear it almost daily.

I plan on getting my first watch, a Timex Weekender Chronograph.

On the Timex website it's $82, however on amazon it's going for $60. Being new to watches I'm wondering if there's any danger in buying from Amazon, such as inferior components or chance of a fake, that would make spending the extra $22 to get it from the official website justifiable.

Also if anyone has any suggestions for watches with a Chronograph and <$100 that is similar to the weekender my decision isn't set in stone and I would appreciate the suggestion.

Someone mentioned using bags or backpacks that have lots of pockets to keep things in. I've bought a particular kind of purse with lots of sections from lesportsac, in several different colors. When I switch bags for a new season, I move things into the exact same spot. No decision-making or struggling to make things fit in a new bag.

I wear a Casio watch with a simple timer. You press a button once for 1 minute, twice for 3 minutes, etc. up to 30 minutes. I had a jewelry store switch out the bracelet part to a stretchy one so I don't have to deal with the clasp. The watch also comes in black with a rubbery band.

I have a clock radio on the other side of the room from my computer. When I'm going to be on the computer in the evening, I set the radio to go off. I have to get up off my chair to turn it off, so I'm more likely to stop what I'm doing, turn off the computer and go to bed.

Getting gas in my car the same day every week, whether I'm low on gas or not. Keeps me from running out.
