You have a few choices. You could either go quartz or automatic. Quartz is where you have a battery (and sometimes solar charging), and automatic is when the movement of your wrist winds a little spring in the watch. Automatic watches require resetting every few weeks because they are not as accurate, but some people think they are cool. I will assume you don't want to deal with that, but if you do, something from Seiko would be your #1 best bet for sure.

This particular watch (which is what I am wearing right now) looks delicate but by all means, it is not. It is meant for scuba diving so you can swim with it and it is very durable to the point where I have accidentally used it to block a lacrosse shot and it survived without a scratch.

If you want to go Quartz, and for 200$, probably solar, you will want to go Citizen.

I don't have a citizen myself but they are very highly reviewed over at /r/watches.

You could also go another rout and get a G-SHOCK, which is probably the most durable watch you can buy.

(Both of those are solar power).

I would encourage you to look above your price range a bit, especially if you want to go for a Citizen, because it allows you to get something like this that will last you forever, but you can still get something great for under $200.

The watches I listed here are much more versatile than most of the ones you linked to, (except for the G-SHOCK, don't wear that with a suit!) I will wear my Seiko Orange Monster with anything from a swim suit at the beach or with a black suit at a formal event. Buying from any of these three brands and not from a fashion/clothing brand that also makes watches will guarantee that your watch will last for a very long time. Feel free to PM me or ask for help at /r/watches if you have any more questions or want any recommendations.

Seiko Orange Monster ... The best $200 you will ever spend.

u/Capolan · 3 pointsr/BuyItForLife

it's a departure from the leather band style but the Seiko Monster line is known to be an incredibly good value in the world of watches. I'm wearing my orange one right now.

Why not Amazon?

u/MaxFury80 · 3 pointsr/BuyItForLife

the 7S26 movement is known for being bomb proof. Now every so often with automatic movements it will need to be cleaned but that is after many years of usage. Below is what I have and it is a very hearty watch indeed.

If you want a Chronograph, then I agree 100% - this is a great choice. It's also available in a Black Bezel

There is also an older version of their non-solar Quartz diver with a Chronograph called the SNAE25 (I don't know that I would buy this one on Amazon as it doesn't come with warranty).

If you can give up the Chronograph, then you have the Monster and Classic Divers to look at.

Good luck!

"Analog" G-Shocks are nice but I think the nice ones (i.e. A1100/A1000) are out of your price range. For a mechanical option I recommend the Seiko Monster, like the SRP309 or the SRP311.

You can get them on amazon, that's where mine came from. And they've gone down in price lately!

if i had 300 extra dollars to burn on a diver watch this would be mine without question
