Been looking at watches for a while, and I can't decide which one I should go with. I've narrowed it down to 5 different models. What's the consensus on these?

All the watches in that pic cost about the same, around $200-$240 range. About average for a watch.

Which, even though watches can get way more expensive than that, it's still an accessory that's a couple hundred dollars you'll be wearing.

/fa/ talks about spending $600 on shoes, so I don't think a $200 watch is expensive,

and they'll last much longer than shoes

>> No.6823317

Brand names aside, I don't like any of them. I don't like the designs of any of the watches. They all look too chunky. No thanks.

It seems that you're going for a predominantly black colored watch. Here's a suggestion:

>http://www.amazon.com/Orient-EM65007B-Raven-Plated-Automatic/dp/B008G3J93M

It comes from an affordable and respected name in watches. For the value, nothing is better.

jesus fuck where to begin...

unless you are 6'6" and weigh 250 these are all going to make your arm look like a toddlers, they are massive.

also they are fuck ugly and impractical (black dial, black hands and black subdials ahhahahahaha - #3 barely passes)

not to mention they are all fashion brands and not watch brands, so be careful around anyone with an IQ over 90 as they would likely have you pinned as an autism spectrum poster child.

if you want a watch that looks like these at least go Nixon or TW steel, they use reliable Jap movements and aren't completely shunned by those in the know (mostly but not by all)

Don't get a watch from any manufacturer that doesn't specialize in timepieces, you are asking for trouble. Function wise you are better off with a $15 Timex from Target. That aside, all of those watches are incredibly ugly and gaudy and look way too large unless you are a gorilla or using it as part of your douchecanoe ensemble.

I want to upgrade watches a bit from crappy digi casio, i can spend probably two or three hundred pounds, if something's really good i can save more.

Ideally I'd like a metal bracelet, arabic numbers i guess, date and day. Silver/black/white preferred, not too busy. any suggestions?
