What watch for £50

[Funk]

As a cheapy holiday beater? You could afford to damage/lose/have it stolen (would anyone even steal it??). I'd be annoyed if I lost one of my G-Shocks.

At least you'd look after it.

Waterproof to 30m.

I buy those for my son to use at school , get quite beaten up but no drama at that price

Been looking for some with a white dial and blue hands which won't break the bank reckon this looks rather nice (black strap would be better) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390918248698?_trksid=p20...

20 quid - blimey! That looks good and seems very cheap.

I was after something similar, although I wanted a brown strap and wasn't bothered about auto, and I went for this:



It's a Festina F16777/2. I got it via Amazon from a German retailer, and paid about £60. I'm really pleased with it.

Like the hand design on the Festina!

Yeah reckon it might not be up to much but it looks nice. Like that, also

So a cheap watch is worth your son getting beaten up?

How odd! I'm wearing the yellow version today. Cost me £5!

Glad I didn't fall for it at full price, I would have been fuming

[JDMDrifter]

Dangerous business the high end watch game!

Agggg that lug / strap gap.

Impress your mates though, tell them it was standard issue to Vulcan bomber crews on night jobs.

Quite like a couple of these and some of them sort of almost squeeze in under budget

Anyone seen one?

[anonymous-user]

So I really like the look of the IWC Portugese but I normally wear a diver style watch (Seamaster / GMT) etc. So I bought this got £50 to give it a whirl and see how it looks before diving head first into an expensive mistake. I absolutely love it BUT the auto noise annoys me beyond reason...anyone know how to stop it or quieten it?

[Dan_1981]

It'll break in less than two years and you won't have to worry about it.

Mine was the same very noisy. Then very silent.

[daveenty]

Mine's not been worn for an age, though it was very noisy when in use.

Just slow your wrist action down a bit.
