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 ![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)
I'm pretty much doing the same thing. ![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)
![tongue out](/inc/images/tongue.gif)
Has anyone fitted a different strap to theirs? I've got two, both with the same black fabric strap on them.

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 ![tongue out](/inc/images/tongue.gif)

Don't people ask you why you have two watches on one strap? ![tongue out](/inc/images/tongue.gif)

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 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 ![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)
Think I'll stick with my Pebble![tongue out](/inc/images/tongue.gif)

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

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 ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

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!
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...

Liking this one, what's the discount code you used?
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.

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