Hi All

I am looking for a new watch, it's to replace an Animal watch that I have used when doing more adventerous activity.

I have an Oris Williams F1 day/date for my everyday watch which is great, but looking for something a bit more casual and hardy when mountain biking, and around water etc. So this is what I need:-

Fabric/rubber strap
analogue time rather than digital
Not a massive face (my wrists are relatively skinny)
At least 100m water resistance - I presume thats ok to swim with ??
Budget £100
Smart enough to wear out in evenings as it may be the only watch on holiday.

I've seen this citizen, which I quite like, but would welcome other suggestions, even if second hand and fall within budget.

Thanks for the responses. I do like that Seiko but I don't think it's what I'm really looking for at the moment. Reminds me of a Seiko I saw in China last year, it has a black braclet and bezel, with a yellow and black face, it was great but haven't seen it since.

That O&W military watch is very appealing, think I will investigate that further.
