I'm really sorry....

....but it's another 'what watch?' thread.

I haven't really been a watch wearer, but having started working out of Uni I feel it's about time I did, to at least look like I know what I'm doing. Plus I like shiny things and feel the need for another 'department' to spend some money on.

Anyway, just as a starter, I'd actually like to know if I like wearing a watch, as I'm a bit odd in not being a big fan of jewellery etc, so might get fed up with it soonish.

So my criteria is.....

- up to £250
- white face please (goes with more shirts!)
- bracelet
- youngish image
- nothing too 'big', I really do have small wrists!

So yeah, I have no idea whatsoever of what I should be looking at (at this price point I've only ever heard of Seiko and Tissot) so I was hoping you chaps could help me out!

Cheers ears.

Tissot PRC200 is always very popular Might be a tad big for your wrists however.

Look at Steinhart too. Some good offerings from them

38mm case width excluding screw-down crown. Automatic Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement.

Mine's kinda for sale if you're interested. £95 on its bracelet...

Looks nice on my slim wrists, too.

Do like Tissot, I have to say. Quite liking this one, what do you chaps think..?

But I also quite like this....

But not particularly in keeping with me trying to look 'city' posh!


Steinhart do appeal, but can't get over the 'trying to be a Rolex' thing...

They are both decent for the price. The first is a quartz. The second is not in your requirements list.

Is quartz bad? Sorry, I genuinely know nothing!

Which requirement does the second one not meet though, is it not suitable for thin wrists?

Any other.suggestions?

Well, there's nothing wrong with quartz but you might prefer an automatic if it's your main watch just because.

The diver's watch is a bit "sporty", that's all. I imagined you wanted something to go well in the office as you mentioned shirts.
