Cheap but trendy watches?
Discussion
Got to be an Orange Monster - iconic watch and respected by watch geeks, even those who can afford Pateks. They are cheap to buy, have an in-house manufacture movement and are tough as hell.
Not sure what you mean by 'trendy' but the Orange Monster is instantly recognisable, both by watch geeks who will immediately appreciate it, to people who know nothing about watches who just see the bright orange dial and, yes, it catches the eye.
It's a bit big but nothing like some of the silly watches out these days, and it will fit under shirt cuffs. Only downside AFAIAC is that the movement can't be wound up via the crown if it's run down - you have to wait for the automatic rotor to wind the mainspring, which can cause poor timekeeping if worn really infrequently. But it's terrific value for money, and a great looking watch IMO.

Cheap but trendy could lots of things.
There have been a few threads recently about www.wernersflyingwatches.com with lots of forum members buying their watches for under £100. If this is your cup of tea then have a browse on their website. I bought one of their GMT watches to try and stop me from wearing my IWC all of the time, lovely watch no doubt but not for me, therfore it's still new in it's box and can be yours for £60...pm me for pics/links if interested.

If the Orange is a bit "in yer face", don't forget that there's a Black Monster, too.Not sure what you mean by 'trendy' but the Orange Monster is instantly recognisable, both by watch geeks who will immediately appreciate it, to people who know nothing about watches who just see the bright orange dial and, yes, it catches the eye.
