Costco has a good selection of watches at various levels of quality and price. Plus if there is ever a problem or you don't like it after awhile they just give you your money back. I have a few nice watches but after my Timex Expedition of 20 years died I just don't seem to like wearing them anymore, or any type of jewelry for that matter. The only one I wear occasionally when we go out some place nice is my Mickey Mouse watch, I tell the wife it's okay because it gold with a brown strap so it looks expensive!

Brinks sells them if you want to check them out.

The smallest and most comfortable one I have is probably the rotary due it's lack of weight and leather strap but it's not functional past telling you the time and that's even provided you wound it up before bed.


I also really like my Bulova but again not overly functional, rotating Bessel but no date. For me it's mostly about aesthetics than anything else. I have an esquire as well which fits all your criteria but I haven't worn it in years, it doesn't give me any fizz.


Good place for watch shopping is the watchshop.com, based in UK but ships here fast and easy. Good selection of unique styles and brands you don't see in your typical store.
