(Part 2) Best watches for women according to redditors

>Because it has no sophisticated electronics inside, it's also said to last as long as 60 days on a single button battery.

60 days? I bought my Casio G-SHOCK over 4.5 years ago and it hasn't required a battery change yet.

EDIT: Apparently the G-SHOCK has an official battery life of 10 years.

I think it's because the MSRP for watches don't really mean anything.

It's cool that you got it for a good price. I found it on clearance (but out of stock for $55 here: https://www.fossil.com/us/en/products/annette-three-hand-pastel-pink-leather-watch-sku-es4356p.html

​

And found it in stock for $66 here: https://www.amazon.com/Fossil-Womens-Annette-Stainless-Leather/dp/B077T77GPT/ref=sr_1_39?keywords=fossil+women+watch&qid=1559084050&s=gateway&sr=8-39

​

But I don't think it's a steal either. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's a great deal you know?

​

As someone who frequents r/watches, I think this looks better and you can get this for <$30 any time:

Hijacking the top comment to save people some stress about loudness. I've personally handled over 50 timex watches, from the weekenders on down. If they have a moving second hand, they're loud as fuck.

BUT, the weekender chrono's are absolutely silent. The second hand is stationary and the seconds dial is really really quiet. I have this one, but pretty much all timex chrono's are quiet.

Cheap ugly ones are easy, check this out (the reviews too).

This Casio watch in gold. Three of my friends noticed that they had the same watch and it spread like wildfire throughout the rest of my group. Now we all have some type of Casio watch.

Friendship aside lol, I really like how slim and simple the watch is. I also have a rose gold Michael Kors watch, but I reach for my Casio watch all. the. time. Plus it's so cheap that I don't feel bad when I bang it around, like I tend to do with everything I own lol.

Let me see what I can pull up for good quality watches with a minimal style.

Here's an Orient Bambino V3, you can find it in different color faces.

Here's a Timex Weekender Farfield, there are also different faces for this.

Or you could just cop a Seiko Spirit "Blue Spark" SCVS013.

Maybe this

For the gravelord with finer tastes

Aliexpress / Amazon.ca / Edit: Ebay

There's a 37mm version which is for women but basically looks the same: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0194MLAK8/ref=pd_aw_sim_241_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YS64H17K0A80EMGVVME0&dpPl=1&dpID=81VLn%2BrKB%2BL&th=1

Hey, perfect, I have $85,000 just sitting around!

What about a Timex Fairfield?

Pants

• Levi's 511 Rigid - $43
  
• 2 Dockers Alphas - Smokey Aqua and Gravel - $90
  
  Shoes
  
  
• White Chuck Taylors - $40
  
• Florsheim Doon Chukka (Because fuck CDBs) - $120
  
  Shirts
  
  
• 3 Mossimo V-Necks - White, Red, Purple - $30
  
• 3 Uniqlo OCBDs - White, Light Blue, and Purple - $90
  
  Layers
  
  
• 2 Uniqlo Cotton Cashmere sweaters - Dark Gray and Navy - $26
  
• Uniqlo Dry Easy Jacket - Gray - $70
  
  Misc
  
  
• Full-grain Orion Leather brown belt - $28
  
  
• Timex Weekender (Fuck the anti-hivemind, I love mine) - $32
  
  
• 5 for $15 Sock deal - 5 pairs of long stripe or argyle in dark colors for colder months, go sockless in the summer - $15
  
  
• Hanes Boxer Briefs - $13
  
  Which comes out to about $597. I'm only 18 and while I own 2 suits, I've never actually needed them, so that works out nicely.
  
  And then I buy one of these, and steal the rest of my clothes, because this still isn't enough.
  

I love the idea of having a signature timepiece! Most days I wear a super retro-looking gold Casio digital watch. I do prefer analog watches, but I like that it's light, has an alarm, and can tell me the date (and was super cheap, lol). If I'm feeling like looking a bit smarter I throw on my Daniel Wellington Classic Bristol in rose gold/dark brown leather. I love the men's watch trend but I'm very petite with tiny wrists so I can't quite tell if I look cool or just silly wearing it, but I love it all the same!

clockwise from top left:

• RFID blocking stainless steel wallet
  
• Casio LA670WA-1
  
• Field Notes pitch black edition
  
• Spigen Ultra Hybrid Nexus 5 case
  
• keyring
  
  • keys (obviously)
    
  • Kingston DTSE9 (8 GB)
    
  • perpetual calendar keychain (you can get these a lot cheaper though)
    
  • Victorinox Swiss Army knife
    

Yeah you can swap out straps until your heart is content. Pick up a spring bar tool and 20mm leather strap from Amazon and you should be good to go.

When you take a pulse and use the second hand , the screen will shut off if you aren't moving your arm around (cuz you're too busy intensely counting the beats!). So you gotta shake your arm every so often to wake the watch up when you're doing vitals. Maybe there is a way to delay the sleep function and I haven't found it yet.

It also doesn't have a dedicated 24-hr /military time watch face, unless you set your actual phone to 24 hrs as well-- which might not be a bad idea to start hammering it in.

Otherwise, I'm really happy w it. It was helpful when my clinical instructor messaged me on the floor. It also kept me off my phone so I didn't instinctually pull it out at the hosptial. You can also use it to set reminders.

A regular watch off Amazon w a 24 hr function will work just fine =) the Casio I linked below served me well!


Casio Women's LRW200H-7BVCF Dive Series Sport Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00791QYMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MwtlDbDHF7F0N

A lot of people recommend the regular Weekenders but they tick really loudly. They look great and are worth their price but the tick bothers me.

The best watches I've found for under $100 are:

Seiko 5 in your preferred color

Casio MDV Diver

Timex Weekender Chrono (Doesn't tick loudly)

If you choose one of these it's really easy to switch out the strap with one of these (spring bar tool)

I own all three of these watches and they are great. You can also check out different straps on Amazon or sites like cheapestnatostraps.

and a cheap plug for /r/Watches

This gold Casio digital watch! I saw another user post it in FFA last year and bought it immediately. I like that it’s fairly cheap and digital without looking like a sports watch. amazon link

Timex Fairfield is $48.75 which is its lowest price according to CamelCamelCamel

-Casio F91W

-Casio Royale

-Casio EAW-MRW-200H-1BV

-Casio MTP-V005D-1A

-Timex Weekender

-Timex Gallatin

-Timex Expedition

Thanks, I appreciate it!

This is the Fossil with this strap on it. This is the Casio with this strap

I'd recommend checking out the Cultural Dispatch guides that I linked in the post. He's influenced my choices a lot. I have some more of his recommendations sitting in my Amazon wishlist right now.

I'd second a Timex, but I'd recommend one from their Fairfield collection.

Timex makes a good affordable alternative

http://timex.ca/weekender-collection

You've heard wrong. MVMT is the absolute worst company for the price. It is just a chinese watch with chinese movement, nothing new. avoid brands like these, for ex: Daniel Wellington. I suggest you start by looking at Timex, my favorite brand. After that, Seiko, Orient, Citizen etc. I'm giving you amazon links to my favorite ones.

If you can stretch your budget like $30-$40 more, you can get one of these:

Tissot Everytime

Tissot Everytime

Tissot Everytime

Those are just a few examples. There are definitely more out there that I'm missing.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Timex-Unisex-Watch-T2N654PF-Cream/dp/B0056DC8LU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1319849002&sr=8-5

i'm not a big jewelry person, but i have a couple of pieces that i wear pretty regularly. one is [this necklace] (http://needsupply.com/blah-blah-blah.html) from Need Supply. i also wear my [casio classic gold watch] (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LA670WGA-1DF-Digital-Gold-tone/dp/B003BJFQW4/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1469833917&sr=1-4&nodeID=7147440011&keywords=women%27s+casio+classic) every day, and although it isn't really super "scandinavian minimalist" in design, i feel like it integrates really well into my fairly minimal wardrobe and ties in well with other gold jewelry.

I'm a 5'2 person with short hair and never wear make-up. I second the person who says having a good haircut makes all the difference.

A second thing you can do is focus on the details of whatever you're wearing. If you wear a watch, you can look older if it's nicer looking rather than a sports watch (I have this one). If you normally wear sneakers, you can swap them out for shoes that are sneaker-like, but nicer. (These are mine.) And if you always wear a ratty jacket (me) you can elevate that with ... something. Maybe a blazer? I'm still working on that one. Point is to focus on the details.

If anyone is looking for a watch, might I suggest this affordably priced beauty. Not sure why people who like that also like realistic mannequins of eight year old girls though.

Amazon.co.uk has it for £37.95 ~ €48 and shipping to Sweden typically comes to an additional €7.

On a slightly more positive note, can somebody help me pick a strap for this watch? I'm thinking dark brown leather but I don't know a thing about watches so I dunno if contrast stitching like this would look ugly on it.

Do you think they would prefer an analog or digital display?

If digital I would say: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GW-M5610-1ER-Ceptor-Controlled-G-SHOCK-Digital/dp/B001414NT8

If analogue I would say: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-G-Shock-GW-4000D-1AER-Chronograph-Multiband/dp/B007DSSBL2

Bulova

Citizen

Daniel Wellington

Timex

I'd say most non-OEM endlinks will not be a perfect fit because of the lug angle of the 104, but you may not need one. I think the watch would look good with a super engineer style bracelet.

The stock thick brown leather band that came with the 104 is pretty good, actually. The 104 is a "strap monster" basically any strap will look good on it.

edit: Found an old post with a 104 on a Super Engineer 2 bracelet.

At that price just get a timex weekender. That will be your simplest approach. There are some various timex models that range from ~$20-$50. When you want to mix it up more later, you can simply switch out the strap.

This is assuming you don't yet have any particularly strong opinions on watch designs yet. Look around and find something you like! Then you can search for a budget version.

I personally wear this Sinobi watch for really cheap. The strap is crap on this though, so I invested in a nice leather strap from Lakehouse Leathers, another redditor who makes straps and stuff by hand out of American leather. The watch and strap together probably only cost me ~$30 at the time.

A warning about buying that watch - it's shipped internationally (for free) so while it's cheap and looks okay, it took over a month to get to me.

I also have 6.5" wrists and here is a 40mm watch on my wrist: https://i.imgur.com/hpT1RcU.jpg

40mm is as large as I'm willing to go. I'd be concerned that 43mm is too large for you.

Note, the design of that watch isn't that unique--you can find several like it or better, including the Timex Weekender: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-Weekender-Fairfield-Quartz-Leather/dp/B0194L66F8/

And the Orient Bambino: http://orientwatchusa.com/collections/mens-watches/classic/er2400mw

EDIT: I see that /u/jaetran found an even closer Orient watch for you. I would also agree with that recommendation.

You should probably just buy your girlfriend what she asked for.

That being said, there are many options for similar style watches of much higher quality and of varying cost.

In that price range, I would suggest:

The Timex Fairfield

The Tissot Everytime

or (if you're willing to shell out more for real bauhaus instead of bauhaus inspired) The Junghans Max Bill


The Tissot is probably the best value proposition as it is Swiss Made with a high quality ETA (quartz) movement and and a sapphire crystal while the Timex comes with cool options like Indiglo Dial, and the Junghans has the most horological history behind it.

I'm trying to decide on a Timex Weekender to be paired mainly with casual/denim clothing. The more versatile, the better. It appears the main things to decide on are 1. case size (40mm or 38mm), 2. face style (chronograph or standard), 3. face color, and 4. strap color. Below are a few of the options I've been looking at; I'm open to other ideas also.

40mm

• Chronograph 40mm - Brown/Silver/Blue
  
• Chronograph 40mm - Tan/Blue
  
• Standard Face 40mm - Brown/Blue
  
• Standard Face 40mm - Brown
  
• Standard Face 40mm - Tan/Cream/Olive
  
  38mm
  
  
• Standard Face 38mm - Brown/?

know anything about hirsch straps? seems to be reputable and I found this one
https://www.amazon.com/Hirsch-109002-70-20-Genuine-Calfskin-Watch/dp/B000PO07KE/ref=sr_1_2?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1475181604&sr=1-2&nodeID=6358539011&keywords=hirsch+20mm

They don't offer a metal bracelet sadly. I recently picked up this aftermarket one from Amazon.

Originally got it for my Maratac mid pilot, but ended up liking it a lot on the Stowa, even though it definitely is pretty rugged compared to the watch itself.

This is typically popular casio. I have this but it’s larger, have no regrets about buying it and wear it almost daily.

Here is the one I bought, http://www.amazon.com/20mm-Engineer-Stainless-Straight-Band-Push/dp/B007FMAKUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412903064&sr=8-1&keywords=super+engineer+ii

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55496560&postcount=28

Further down in the XDA thread are more pictures of the SE II band in action

Forgot to mention, you'd need to remove the tab in the watch body, or dremel a notch in the band...

a little late but here's the list, from the upper left to the lower right:

• MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2013 256GB

  but I constantly carry the other ones around with me.
  
  The fixed blade Raidops is mounted to my backpack,
  the Gerber rests in my pocket,
  and the Leatherman in my backpack.

Yep. Start with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TW2P91200-Fairfield-Leather-Slip-Thru/dp/B0194L66F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479411773&sr=8-1&keywords=timex+fairfield+rose

Then remove the movement/dial, take the hands off, and carefully pull the dial off. Spray matt white, but very thin coats so you see the raised indices, but the whole thing is white (and the logo is gone). Then stick on the transparency in the middle.

Honestly, you have a lot of possibilities.
If the 5600s are too small for you (that would be my choice), you can go with these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0084EF9BO/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SL500_SR86%2C115&refRID=1MQ54A8QEEYDJFMD614W
Really nice and legible.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00791YWWA/ref=pd_aw_sims_4?pi=SL500_SR86%2C115&refRID=1MQ54A8QEEYDJFMD614W
All black.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00284ADAI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1414039523&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
This or any other of the 6900 line.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BU6TXEC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1414039600&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
Personally, I would go with this. It has a vibrating alarm. Nice size and solid. (Also available in black and other colors.)


Any of these should be a good for your needs.

Is 22-26mm a hard limit? I've got tiny wrists (...13cm, alas) myself, but I find anything up to 39mm doable as long as the lugs aren't too long. The Timex Women's Weekender is a rather pretty, minimalist watch, and only 36 quid... 37mm case though. I suppose it really depends on her preferences.

its not in the list, but the watch applies to the discount. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QIJ6HW2?keywords=chronograph&nodeID=6358539011&qid=1450517948&ref_=sr_1_2&refinements=p_89%3ATimex&s=apparel&sr=1-2

I purchased this strap off of amazon. I'm actually really pleased at the quality and look of the strap at the price point.

The Hamilton Intra Matic is probably the obvious choice, but if that's out of your price range all I can think of is something cheap like this.

I just got this same model at Amazon for $27.36 shipped with their 30% off Cyber Monday deal.

Someone mentioned using bags or backpacks that have lots of pockets to keep things in. I've bought a particular kind of purse with lots of sections from lesportsac, in several different colors. When I switch bags for a new season, I move things into the exact same spot. No decision-making or struggling to make things fit in a new bag.

I wear a Casio watch with a simple timer. You press a button once for 1 minute, twice for 3 minutes, etc. up to 30 minutes. I had a jewelry store switch out the bracelet part to a stretchy one so I don't have to deal with the clasp. The watch also comes in black with a rubbery band.

I have a clock radio on the other side of the room from my computer. When I'm going to be on the computer in the evening, I set the radio to go off. I have to get up off my chair to turn it off, so I'm more likely to stop what I'm doing, turn off the computer and go to bed.

Getting gas in my car the same day every week, whether I'm low on gas or not. Keeps me from running out.

I'm 16 now, and I hope to continue collecting in the future. I've listed my watches in the order I got them, and why I got them (if there's a reason). I'll also include an Amazon link if you'd like to check it out, and the photos were taken in front of my windows, which I haven't cleaned in a while, so ignore that \^-\^

Sekonda 'Party Time' (3363.27)

I got this 5 years ago (when I was 11) in Heathrow because I thought it looked nice. My tastes have changed a lot. The battery died, but I thought I might as well show it in the collection!

Amazon


Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Grey
This subreddit doesn't seem to like smart watches much, and I get it. The battery dies within a day, and I hardly use it nowadays. I got this for my birthday, sometime in April this year, and it got me used to having a watch on my wrist at all times. It's on a cheap metal bracelet, which I wouldn't recommend getting.

Amazon (Bracelet)


Citizen BF0580-57L (non Eco-Drive)

My first real watch! I got this from the US site, because I won an American gift card in a contest some time ago. I needed a watch for exams, since I started my GCSEs and they banned smart watches (for good reason). I don't wear it as often as I used to, but it was with me throughout most of my exams so I love it nonetheless.

Amazon


Citizen BM6010-55E

I got this after starting my first 'job', which was tutoring maths for primary school kids. Nothing really more to say about it, but it's a nice casual watch which I still wear pretty often if I'm just going out for groceries or to run errands.

Amazon


Bulova 96B104

Honestly, I just needed a dress watch that I could wear with a suit (for prom in this case) during formal occasions. The strap it came with was horrible and tacky, so I replaced it with a Hirsch Osiris which feels amazing and looks great.

Amazon (Watch)

Amazon (Strap)


Timex Weekender

I had some extra money on my Amazon account, so I decided to buy a watch I could wear during the summer (since I was going abroad and it would be really humid), and I saw great feedback on the Weekender so I bought it and an extra NATO strap.

Amazon

Seiko Presage SSA083J1

The one watch I keep wearing; I absolutely love it. I got it after getting my GCSE grades (5 As, 8 A*s and an A\^), and I wear it with me everywhere. It's a bit inaccurate, so I'd like to get it adjusted soon (does anyone know a good place in South London?), but I expected that with an automatic.

I'm taking a break from buying more watches for now, but I'd like to buy a Diver or Field watch some time in the future

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: Formatting

So, i seem to have found the origin of that picture here) and the guy says it came with it from a shop in Poland. So we will never really know the brand of the band. As for some alternatives, how about:

• Hadley Roma (1 & 2)
  
• J P Leatherworks
  
• Hirsch
  
  Hopefully one of those has similar enough stitching to the one in the picture and near the same color of leather, maybe a darker one would be more in order. As you wear the band it will get those cracks and creases seen in the picture, so don't expect those right from the get go. Hope that helps! :)

These look identical but I could be wrong.

Hirsch

My favorite is the GD350-8. Love the two-tone display and slate grey case.

To be honest, it's pretty unremarkable. Not worth the $175. On the other hand - if what you wanted was overwhelming blandness, then this is a great watch.

Skagen aren't known for their quality. Their watches are alright, but over-priced.

If you don't need a date window, then try the Timex Weekender Fairfield - a forum favourite. Get a leather band and a couple of nato straps and you're set.

Skagens are also not Danish-made, despite their Scandinavian pretensions. They are an American company masquerading as a Denmark boutique, whose products are made cheaply in China.

it's an all-round ugly watch. i love my casio.

Thanks a bunch for your response!

I do use the timer on my watch quite a bit at work, but I need to replace it soon and I'm not opposed to switching to something a little more feminine. Maybe something like this, this, or even just this? (My wedding band is silver, which I assume matters for metallic-colored watches.)

I do sometimes wear zip-up hoodies in lab, but I know I can't be mad when those make me look like a kid. :) I have a few cardigans that I really like, so I'll see about adding some more to my wardrobe. And I can make an effort to wear blouses more often. Sometimes I worry about wearing clothes I like to work because of how often I'm over at the mouse facilities, but that's not really an excuse, since I'm already in the habit of changing pants before heading over anyway.

Thanks so much for the shoe suggestions. Those are all lovely and along the lines of what I was picturing, but I didn't know the names (again, I suck at shoes) so I was having trouble even googling them to confirm the look.

The often recommended Timex Weekender and Seiko 5 are good options.

I've given Casio watches of the same size to a couple of my female friends as gifts, both of them have very small wrists. The size works for them, they're happy. You should be ok.

Casio also has digital watches specifically for women if you want something smaller though.

Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LA670WA-1-Daily-Digital/dp/B000GB0G2A/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1523331771&sr=8-24&keywords=casio

Like this?

My grandpa always said every man needs a nice wristwatch. Nixon has really stylish watches that are affordable. I have this one in a different color and I love it. Heck you could even get a Timex with a simple face and leather strap.

Happy (almost) Birthday!!

Going off of this, if you really wanted a watch in the spirit of Daniel Wellington — that is to say, not necessarily an engineering marvel or an established brand but attractive looking — you could get a Sinobi for like $10 or some other cheap brand. Extremely similar aesthetic, similar if not the same precision quartz movement, save a large amount of money.

I do agree with you though, I think it's best to save up for a dress watch that everyone can appreciate. Seiko Cocktail Time continues to be a good choice.

This would be a good versatile watch that is very affordable: Timex Unisex TW2R63200 Weekender Chrono Brown Double-Layered Leather Slip-Thru Strap Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072L3ZW39/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IN.BCb05EJBW8

It’s blue, a chronograph, quartz movement means it won’t need much maintenance beyond a battery every few years, and has a leather strap that makes it a bit more dressy.

https://www.amazon.com/G-Shock-GD350-8-Resin-Sport-Watch/dp/B00BU6TXEC and any JLC that you fancy. If you thin out one you already have throw in a seiko turtle.

I came up with this:

Not bad considering it's roughly the same price range as the official Moto band. I think this band is a no-brainer for the folks that don't mind the price since A) It's available right now, B) It looks so much better than the official one(in my opnion) and C) No pressure on the back of the watch as OP claims. Not that the official Moto one appears to put pressure on the back, but too many of the other 3rd party bands out there appear to do that.

I'm looking to buy a nice ($200-$800) watch to use as an engagement gift/proposal. He expressed interest in the size, shape, and coloring of this timex weekender but I want something a little nicer. Aesthetically the Shinola Runwell Chrono is perfect. But, I've heard people tend to dislike Shinola because of its a high costs for a quartz based watch. I don't know much about this topic and was wondering what reddit thinks. Should I get the Shinola? Do you have suggestions that have a similar look?

Some more info about his style: This would be his first decent watch. He's a med student and usually wears business casual in and out of work. Thanks!

A long long time ago on a thread like this, somebody recommended this cheap Casio watch and I swear I haven't taken it off in probably 6 months, I love it!

https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TW2P91200-Fairfield-Leather-Slip-Thru/dp/B0194L66F8

A water-resistant watch. I got this one for nursing school and still using it after graduating. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LRW200H-7BVCF-Sport-Watch/dp/B00791QYMQ/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1573177845&refinements=p_89%3ACasio&s=apparel&sr=1-2

As for shoes, I always get Sketchers sneakers. Doesn't have to be expensive to be comfortable. I had a pair of expensive Dansko shoes but I started getting foot problems from it.

Some clinical professors may want you to bring a pocket med book instead of looking up meds on your phone.

A multicolor pens are useful too for clinical if you're into color coding your notes. So many nurses use these exact pens. https://www.amazon.com/BIC-4-Color-Ballpoint-Assorted-3-Count/dp/B002JFR8Q8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32R3Y4SAB7T5N&keywords=4+color+bic+pen&qid=1573178363&s=office-products&sprefix=4+color+bic+%2Cfashion%2C176&sr=1-1

Good luck!

It's also available in a bunch of other color combinations.

If the school doesn’t provide a stethoscope then a littmann is the way to go. Get the classic 3 version on amazon, so you can save money and you will be able to hear everything.

I also recommend a good little notebook, so you can write notes while in clinical.

Pens, lots of pens.

A cheap watch with a second hand, I got one on amazon from Casio. It’s water resistant and has the date on it too. Link: Casio Women's LRW200H-7BVCF Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00791QYMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-rY1Db4DF8QDB

Good luck!

Hi! if you're going to get a fashion watch, which is made of a chinese quartz mechanism and fake gold, you might as well look up Timex Fairfield watches, they have their own quartz movement ( Similar to a DW) probably a similar case and everything and very minimalistic + you have a second hand. With every watch if you so desire you can change the band fairly easily as long as you know the right size and the fairfield comes with great indiglo illumination. IMHO, for the price, you're far better off with the timex even though the timex brand isn't as trendy as Daniel Wellington these days.
Just linking you to amazon but be sure to look up timex website because they have PLENTY of other colors. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0194L66F8/ref=twister_B01LWOGQM5?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
and, https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/5dcer3/timexfairfield_minimalism_is_the_game/ this is a great example of how nice a well sorted fairfield can look like and imho will look as good as a DW and will last easily as long and cost less.
;)

And for the gold vs silver, it's all up to you really, I'm personally not a gold type of person but I feel lime I'm starting to like it more a little everyday but I'm definitely a silver kind of man.

Just off the top of my head, heres the first result from googling "super engineer": http://www.amazon.com/20mm-Engineer-Stainless-Straight-Band-Push/dp/B007FMAKUG

I bought this watch a few months ago and it has become one of my favorites. I'm currently wearing it with a reddish brown leather strap from Hirsch

Link here.

Even with the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I was not expecting much for my 14 dollars. Happily, I was wrong. While I think it would only look good on a chunky watch (my pilot is fairly large) as it is a thick (4.06mm) leather strap with a sizable Pammy-syle buckle, the quality is just crazy-good for the money.

Huh, I wrote many more words about my neat and cheap new watch strap than I meant to.

TL;DR: 14 dollars! Recommended!

SeiyaJapan.com is legit.

If you are in the market for a $400+ G-Shock you will want to buy from someone who has a good reputation on WatchUSeek.com, and TimeZone.com to make an informed decision.

If you don't need a Japanese G-Shock, Amazon has plenty of options that are probably well suited for the everyday persons needs.

[found it] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WG8U8M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I meant could the alarm be set to go off once an hour without being manually set every single time to remind a person to do something they're supposed to do once an hour- like stretches or exercises for example.

I didn't know there was such a thing as hourly signals on a watch so that seems to be what I'm looking for. I decided on this watch because it seem to have everything I need and more:

Picked up a Casio Edifice EF-503D-1AV WW when it went on sale the other day. It didn't take me long to pull the trigger, considering this watch has been on my three watch grail list the past year or so (the other two are Omega Speedmaster and Railmaster). I know it's cheap for a grail watch, but this is honestly the most I've spent on a watch to-date. It's giving my beloved Citizen BM6400-00e a run for its money.

Picked up a different strap and clasp for my new watch as the metal bracelet is nice, but a good leather strap just sets this watch onto a new level. The metal bracelet is nice and heavy, but ultimately not my style. Really digging the deployment clasp. Might switch all of my casual watches to a deployment clasp.

Hope you guys enjoy this post as much as I enjoy this watch. Cheers!

It looks like this strap.

It's funny. I bought a similar looking Seiko chronograph since I couldn't find any of the white faced Edifaces for a good price. I put that strap on my Seiko.

It's this I believe but with a different band

Does anyone know where I can get OP's watch from in the UK? I've been googling G-Shock DW5610 and DW5600 but cant seem to find the same watch. The closest I've found to it is this.

I'll see your Zenith review and raise you this: https://www.amazon.com/Montegrappa-Chaos-Enamel-Automatic-Watch/dp/B00E4WSB0G/ref=pd_srecs_cs_241_21?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4XJJ889EV8S2ZZV7WA71

Thanks for the input (instead of downvotes!) here are the links for all the straps included: strap 1 strap 2 strap 3 bracelet I really think those go really well with the watch and this is my only 20mm lug watch. (i recently sold all my 20mm natos) should i split them? pick one strap only with lower price? shoot me an offer instead of downvotes dudes, three fiddy?

So I've been wearing one of those digital Casio watches for awhile now and I'm looking to change it up a bit. Everyone seems to recommend the Timex weekender as a good cheap watch, so I was thinking of going with that. I just want to know exactly which face/band I should go with.

I'm changing up my wardrobe for this summer, and it's going to consist mostly of chino shorts in various colors, tshirts, and some light button-ups I got from H&M with boat shoes or basic sandals (Rainbow). I was thinking of going for something preppy-ish like this watch face with this band. I would just get the one that comes with that band, but the watch face looks weirdly formal and out of place to me. Also getting the two parts separately actually ends up cheaper.

Any thoughts? Does that combo work? Would it be alright with the olive band?

Fwiw this is a great watch: White Big Dial Mens Lady Women Unisex Leather Quartz Sport Wrist Watch Gift SNB011 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009WG8U8M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TU6Jxb5EB9A3N

It's inexpensive. Just rip off the crappy straps it comes with and buy some nice NATO straps. Whole setup costs under $30 (straps are more expensive than the watch, lol) and I've received countless complements—even from some friends with watches that cost half my paycheck.

I got a Casio G-Shock Men's Watch GW-M5610-1ER https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001414NT8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WfqyDb1CJW2CM

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TW2R63200-Weekender-Double-Layered-Slip-Thru/dp/B072L3ZW39/ and its very versatile. Wear it pretty much every day (except suit days, for those I break out my cream faced, thinner watch). It's not restrictive at all.

Recommend immediately tossing the leather strap that comes with it. Feels like a bandaid. Replace with some basic NATO straps (white/blue, blue/red, white/blue/red, black/grey, olive, etc).

Seiko SUP198 and change the band.

Seiko SUP196 on ebay.

Depending on her a Casio LGA670WGA or a Casio LTP1169N might also make a good small Christmas present.

You linked a picture to the Hirsch Liberty, seen here on Amazon. I have a brown one and I love it, just be sure to get the correct lug width.

I am trying to decide between your strap and a Hirsch Liberty. What would you go with?

Yes it is!

I wanted to get this one. Is it the nylon strap or something else that makes you say that?

I got mine from seiya. It's still $130~ but if you are on a tight budget you can get this for 45 bucks.

I will warn you the bracelet does feel cheap and at that price range is a stamped clasp as opposed to the solid scissor style.

The end link isn't solid and you will need to bend it a bit to make it fit but it will be flush.

I am super duper happy with the GW-M5610:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-G-Shock-Mens-Watch-GW-M5610-1ER/dp/B001414NT8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536150967&sr=8-1&keywords=casio+5610

You should give it a look, It does everything you are after and it is bellow the $100 mark.

I get compliments on my Timex Weekender Chrono very often. "Can't stop looking at it", a friend said the other day.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0194L637E/ref=twister_B01LYMU6EN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I'd just get whichever the cheapest is (should be silver colored with a white face), then go to www.cheapestnatostraps.com and get whichever straps you want them to wear.

Here you go: £8.13. It's quite thick, and the buckle is huge, but you can always put a smaller buckle on if you really need to. What Seiko is it for?

Was looking for something along these lines for my girlfriend and eventually settled on a Timex Weekender Farfield, it comes on a NATO so it's easy to swap the strap to whatever (18mm) and it keeps time much better than any automatics in the same price range. Plus, Indiglo is better than lume in most situations. Hard to argue for the price! I also looked at Mondaines, Braun, Tsovet, Boccia, Skagen, and a few others. There's also a new startup (creator posted here recently) for "item." watches that looked pretty nice.

That's a good suggestion, though the leather strap that comes with the regular Weekender is kinda cheap, the Chrono version is much better. Personally I'd buy the cheapest Weekender I could find and then replace the strap with a better quality leather one.

I would also suggest looking at the Weekender Fairfield or Waterbury models:

A watch. One of the few true 'deals' I've seen on Black Friday / Cyber Monday is for Timex watches on Amazon. Last year, I purchased the Expedition Chronograph for <$25. You can also opt for a Timex Weekender or a Seiko like this one.

So you're going for a minimalist look then?

Give timex a look

or r/watches too

I got a Sinobi, which cost $10 and looks quite a bit like a DW. Buy a cheap NATO strap and you're set for ~$25.

Sinobi - best watch for $10, also seems to fit your description (they sell gold ones too)

I am in need of new shoes for walking/everyday wear and I am torn between purchasing Jack Purcells, Adidas ZX flux slip ons, Nike Huaraches, or Adidas Tubulars. If I go with Tubulars, should I get them in white or bliss purple?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a casio watch? I'm digging these in gold, black, and black.

Under $100, with that particular style, I'd recommend the Timex Weekender. You can throw on a NATO strap if you can't find a Weekender with a band you particularly like, but if you just search for "Timex" in men's watches you may find a similar model you like.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LW3RCW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_NKlKwbXQRB65S

If you like the look of the chronographs, though (that's the first watch in your pictures), you can get this watch and buy a leather strap with the money you're saving.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QIJ6HW2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_MQlKwbWNSA6P0

Make sure to check out the customer images in the reviews for both of those; despite their price; they look pretty slick.

I got the weekender on Black Friday for $11. I didn't really need or want a weekender because everyone and their mother have it, but at that price there's literally no reason not to. I was surprised at how good it actually looks, really simple but fits my wrist almost perfectly. I got my friend the chronograph edition for 25$, and I think it looks even better. Best 2 deals during entire Black Friday.

Ah, Thank you for your reply! Now I know this type of watch is okay for a man to wear. Now I just gotta find something like this but better quality. Already ordered a Timex Fairfield. Comes in in a few days. Wonder if it looks nice in real life too. :)

Depends on exactly what you're looking for, but you can definitely find nicer looking analog watched. Casio has some nicer looking ones, this one from Sketchers has a nicer look to it. Fossil also has some more attractive digital watches, but they are at a higher price point.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a leather band suggestion for my SKX007. I received it as a gift on the standard Jubilee bracelet and have a few simple NATO straps which I use everyday, but I want to find a rustic looking brown leather band. As popular as the SKX007 is, I'm hoping you all can supply some suggestions!

I tried this from amazon but the buckle was too large, and it was not easy to remove with my tools, so I ended up returning it.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think so, this is the one I bought, cost me ~£73, the prices fluctuate quite a lot. Sorry if the link is a mobile one, on my phone at the moment.

Hi all.

I am selling my Alpinist here. I really do think it's wonderful but I just can't seem to wear it enough. The watch is in good condition with minor blemishes on the case. The sale includes the original box and paperwork, the original strap (it's garbage!), a Clockwork Synergy perlon strap, and a Seiko bracelet (https://amzn.to/2MTd4Uf). Price is $430 shipped via FedEx to the lower 48 from Florida. PayPal please, add the 3% if you prefer not to use F&F.

I picked up the Silver 5 with the intention of coughing up the $77 for the leather band. Well It was delayed, then delayed some more, so I said screw it and just bought this guy for like $15.

You can easily unscrew the pins from the Fenix and just slide them into that band and it works like a champ. No quick changes, but that's not a high priority for me.

The endlinks have to be massaged a bit to make it fit, but that is really no problem at all...

They do a similar wristwatch

I've got a Hirsch strap on my Montblanc and I think its a great piece. Not sure what kind of quality leather you'll get for under $30, but the Hirsch straps are about $40 and well worth it.

My Ball (pre-owned) came with an Orion strap that is pretty nice, though the buckle is ungainly) and it seems pretty nice as well.

The DW strap you linked seems pretty good, why not just go for it?

Looking for two similar, one for the GF, one for me.

We are both in medical, She's an RN and I'm a Vet Tech, looking for a nice accurate beater, I prefer having a dive bezel for timing, I don't think she has a preference. Readability is a huge plus, as well as a second hand.

I've found this for her and this one for me

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on possible solar watches or other suggestions. The idea of it lasting without any maintenance is wonderful, but they're 15$ watches so whatever.

I have a Seiko SNZF Urchin that I've been wearing, but the amount of shit I've gotten on it is making me want to not wear it anymore.

Hello everyone! I would like to get the community's recommendation for a classic steel case, white dial, brown leather strap dress watch and a diver's watch. My current collection of watches include - Seiko SNN241, Seiko SNA695, Seiko Kinetic SKA553, Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-1CR and a Timex Weekender Fairfield.
I am looking for a classic brown leather strap white dial dress watch. I looked around and finally deicded on this Orient Bambino Version 2, but it is not available anywhere! Out of stock at all retailers. What would you recommend in this style which can be an alternative to the Bambino V2 which is in the price range $200-$250? I am also looking for a Diver's watch in the $150 to $250 range. The choices in this category are quite a lot - Seiko SKX Collection, Seiko Monster SRP Collection, the Orient Ray, Ray II, Mako, Mako USA II. It's overwhelming. With the Diver's watch I would like your recommendation specific to quality and technology of the watch. This way I will be able to prioritize my choice based on quality first and then the aesthetics. Thank you!

Hirsch makes really nice straps.

This one is thick but soft and comfy: https://amzn.com/B000P9ZLYG

Here's a thinner, dressier option: https://amzn.com/B00A5CJJ1O

This is what changed my mind about getting the pebble.
I asked a watchmaker what they thought about the pebble. I think the metal version looks sharp, like a 70's digital seiko. Anyways her only comment was "watches are supposed to be timeless, electronics become obsolete"
I was convinced

I got a Citizen eco-drive for $160, put a $40 Italian black leather band on it.
Never needs batteries and is more then accurate enough. I Couldn't be happier

It's not a unisex watch, Timex MAKES unisex watches but labels them as so.

I hate to break it to you but the watch he linked:

This one... is not in the same style of their unisex version which is here

White dial with gold hands and casing is a feminine style, it's not like they just "made it smaller." Perhaps you should grow a pair of eyes. Add that to the list behind learning how to act like a decent person.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Here's the link to the strap! A little warning about it is that you have to use the metal fasteners that came with your original pebble because the ones that come with it are too small.
