Despite owning several >£50 watches that I split by work/weekend/smart/etc. my Seiko 5 I mentioned above hasn't left my wrist since I got it

I'm pretty much doing the same thing.

Have to say out of all the cheap watches I have, the Seiko 5 is definitely the favourite (wearing it today actually), although it's for me it's one of the most expensive watches I own

Has anyone fitted a different strap to theirs? I've got two, both with the same black fabric strap on them.

Don't people ask you why you have two watches on one strap?

Nope got two identical Seiko 5s with the black strap on them, as I lost my first one so bought a second, only to find the first one in a pocket of a coat I hardly ever wore. So would be nice to get a different strap for the second one...

Think it's an 18mm strap I'm needing?

If you don't mind going £5 over budget...

Looks like it's £20 now?

Looks like the same item here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Wristwatch-U8-Sm... I was expecting it to be just a sticker on a pebble shaped watch

Think I'll stick with my Pebble

Hornetrider and other OCD sufferers, look away now...



From here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C65WV6I?keyw...

Hilariously the hours/minute markers don't align up same as the photo on amazon, at least they're consistent...

Otherwise different to fault given the stupidly low price. Bracelet is a bit rough especially when taking the links out but not uncomfortable to wear. As with all the other sub £20 automatics it's much larger than the better built Seiko 5.

As with that 'smart' watch posted earlier, must be quite a sweatshop punting these out :S

Very tempted by this, but will keep my Pebble for now and wait for an Android Wear compatible watch I think

superglue, but the watch is not android wear.

Oh.

And what does that mean exactly? There are so many options I get confused by everything tbh!

From my 2 minutes of research earlier, I think 'Android Wear' is an official android platform for smart watches, so anything created for 'Android Wear' will work on a wide range of (Android Wear compatible) smartwatches, while Pebbles need stuff written specifically for Pebbles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Wear

Given the old Pebble was around £100 last year IIRC, hopefully some Android Wear watches (e.g. Smart Watch 3) will be within budget next year

Don't have a solar watch yet so tempted by this... http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber...

For anyone eyeing up a watch in the £50-60 range, there's £10 off on all orders over £50 on amazon...

On the look out for a Casio G Shock, any suggestions?

There is this from Argos http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/g-shock-casio-men-...
But prefer the look of the GA-100 models that seem to be going for £60+ on Amazon.
Might consider a Casio Solar watch as well.

[MarkRSi]

Not a Gshock obviously but might go with this instead...

Another G-Shock for £50 - tempted but will keep looking

Also, may I present the ugliest sub-£50 watch in the world...?

Second hand shirley?

If not, links or it didn't happen

If you just said it was second hand I'd have believed you New SW2 were reduced to £50 last Christmas, so hopefully when/if a SW4 is released the SW3 will follow suit
