What watch....
Discussion
Gents,
My girlfriend has suggested buying me another for my birthday. The thing is, I have to wear it everyday, she has to like it and the budget is set at £400.
So far we have narrowed it down to these:
The problem is that I have very small wrists, so the Raymond weil and the last citizen are out of the game.
I have looked at the entry level Sinn but she doesn't like that, I considered a tissot t-touch but that revceived a negative reaction too.
Am I missing out any obvious choices? We looked at Seiko's but none really floated my boat.
All suggestions welcome.

I posted a picture of my PRC200 on the "Watch for under £50" thread... the Tissot is not under £50 obviously but I just got a Seiko 5 which is on the same wrist shot....check it out there, I have a bit of a girly wrist and its perfect for me...
It also comes with a metal band should you so desire but if you are looking at spending every penny of the £400 this is under budget

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I am not a huge fan of the Comex look-a-like I have to admit. I was in town earlier and I had a look at a Tissot 200 or whatever it is and I have to say that it is a lot of watch for the money. In fact, whilst shopping in that price range I began to ask why us WIS spend so much on watches... then I got a life and carried on
Thank you gents.
I have been looking at the Glycine range and I cannot really find anything that I really like. Lots of nice peices but nothing that I actually want. I do like some of the Glycine range but they tend to be about 3/4 times the budget.
None of the Fortis on Jura watches falls into the budget so those are out.
It turns out that Citizen have a different range for Europe than the UK, my girl friend is German and whilst browsing German amazon these two took my fancy:
front:
back:
or
The first is an automatic, with sapphire front and back glass etc, the second is a moonphase quartz with sapphire glass.
The only thing is the size. First is 42mm 2nd is 40mm, I am going to try on a 42mm and a 40mm today and decide on that.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
