I am a big fan of the citizen titanium eco line.

seeing your style I would recomend this one

for me personaly, I like more of a dress watch, the sports/tech watches are to busy/bulkey for me

I think this will be my next one

I have a few Tissots, no issues with any of them. Last watch I bought was a Nite Chrono, it's selling feature for me is the tritium bottles instead of paint on the hands, face and bezel. So far it keeps time and takes abuse. I'd certainly buy another nite if I wasn't currently eyeballing a Victorinox Alpnach Chrono.

Online shops, I've had great luck with jomashop.com

I like your style! How's the Nite for quailty? How long have you had it? They have some really nice stuff.

Anybody have opinions on a lower end (as in within my budget) Tag Heuer?

Had the Nite for about a year, it's the watch the sees the most use in that time period. The quality is on par with my Tissots and it takes abuse, I'm constantly bashing it (not intentionally but sometime I forget I'm wearing it) while wrenching etc. quality is better than my citizens and seikos which i also own, especially when it comes to an abusive owner.

Watches aren't needed as they used to be, unless you read pulses.
switch to shoes

Needed? No. I have a cell phone to tell time if I 'need' to. Look good, yes. And there's no room in the closets for shoes on account of my wife... but that's about to change.
