I need a new watch!

How much you want to spend? My new favorite is my Tag formula one automatic. I hate batteries

Yes, what's your budget? It's like asking what car you should buy? A Chevy Spark and a Mercedes S class will both get you where you are going but are a bit different in price. Any watch will tell you the time. What's your goal in terms of durability and price?

OOPS! Sorry, yes those are all very good questions !

I'll start off by saying I don't really have a budget. When it comes to watch I am very particular about 3 things, in this order.

1. Fit and feel.
2. Aesthetics
3. function.

I've been wearing my tried and true Esquire for the past 28 years because it fit all three criteria perfectly. I've been shopping for a new watch for a better part of the past year but haven't found anything suitable to replace it.

I have a fairly small wrist so the watch face can't be too big. 35-40mm (max). The band has to be adjustable enough to fit just write on my dainty wrists. Not so loose that the watch can roll around or rattle too much. Not so tight that it chokes my wrist.

I don't want the watch face to be too cluttered with tonnes of lettering, numbers, etc. I'm particular about how I want my watch to look. I realize this is all very subjective.

The three functions I use most in a watch are 1. Time. 2. Date. 3. countdown bezel (via rotatable bezel).

Steve, are you a watch collector? :-)

My favourite place to shop for watches is Watch It! They have taken my money more than once my next favourite place to shop for watches is surprisingly The Bay I have found they have a very good collection of watches. Watches are to me what shoes are to women.

Police
Casio
Timex
Diesel

All 4 of those brands have what your looking for but prices start at about $130 for what your looking for

I am sporting one of these, best watch I have ever found. I wanted to go back to simplicity when I got it.

If you want to buy a Swiss-made automatic, but don't want to spend your kid's inheritance, look at a Hamilton. They are serious watches, at reasonable prices. Here's an example:

I have a Khaki Navy (not the GMT), and I love it!
