What watch for £50

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Depends what you want it for I suppose.

I think I hate it.

Received the Casio yesterday.

I really think it is great for the money! Thanks for posting the link!

Now my de-facto daily if I'm doing "Mac stuff" as my colleagues call it...

Nice - Where from?

Amazon. Although I did have a change of heart and swap it for the £185 white dialled Chrono version in the end!

Looking at Braun watches on Amazon and saw this for £30

Now that is a bargain. I tried that on in the jewellers where I bought my Chrono from, it was £109.

Just a heads up for anyone who hasnt already got one, Amazon are doing Seiko 5's for under the magic £50 at the moment.
I am trying hard not to buy another one in blue this time.

Just for giggles pulled the trigger on one of these...Argos clearance £5.99 all in to the door.

will report in when it touches down :-)

Okay, it's £5 over and has £8 delivery, but I like it. I'm not sure about purchasing from Amazon marketplace though. Seller is in Spain.

Used to have the plain white one for work (in an engine room) and it lasted a few trips without any bother. It only broke when I went to change the time for the thousandth time due to a new timezone and I pulled the crown out. It still worked, I had to twirl the hand round to adjust the time though

Because they're so slim and cheap, they're great for getting your hands dirty IMO. A G-Shock may be tough, but it's a massive bugger and gets caught all the time.

Well its arrived.

Pretty much what the above poster says regarding size so handy for mechanics will see how it fairs up to the daily abuse it will get. :-)

It does wear quite small and the materials feel cheap but hey it was £6 delivered and it looks ok on the wrist.

I swear we are all really no fking good for each other on this thread.

I've gone from no G-Shocks to four thanks to the G-Shock thread. I've also bought at least three watches thanks to this thread.

It's an illness I tell thee.

[Funk]

We are a bad influence on each other.

[Hoofy]

Aye. It's like having an AA meeting in a pub.

[Funk]

Like putting Charlie Sheen in a room full of porn stars and buckets of coke.

[Hoofy]

Any spare room?

I'm sure you could ask, but I think Charlie prefers the ladies.

[Hoofy]

Sod.

Just came to update that I've ordered one myself. Only other place I found it was Sky Watches.

I also found an unboxing thread for a similar model. So should know what to look for.
