Classy, simple analog watch for around $100?
All my watches are in Montana. I would like something good looking, reliable and cheap. I don't know anything about these damn things. Reccos?

Seiko
Citizen Both brands are very common and should be able to find something at a local jewelry shop.

I'm not a big fan of the Rolex silvery look. Something more like this:

Skagen
Their watches are on the slim side, so they don't get in the way of things. I've had them for years...never any problem with them. http://www.skagen.com/us/en/men.html Last edited by stevej37; 04-05-2018 at 02:58 PM.. |

I have a skagen and really like it but I'm trying to steer away from watches that need batteries.
Motion, so you want gold tone? I better stop or I will tart bidding on something. ![]()

I like the Skagens. Good call. No gold. Prefer black and white tones.

Might want to narrow it down to what color face and type of bracelet (metal, leather, fabric) you like. (you beat me to it)
Countdown to someone recommending a $2000 Rolex. 3 2 1

^^^ I like that one a lot, too. The band is comfortable? Do you wear it in the shower?

Waterproof..yes. The mesh band never creates sweat. I get about 3 years on one battery. It's got a safety clasp..never unhooks by itself. Last edited by stevej37; 04-05-2018 at 03:43 PM.. |

Motion,
Swatch actual makes very simple automatic watches- called Sistem 51, I think. Not real expensive. I have no experience with them though. https://www.amazon.com/Swatch-YIS403-Irony-Sistem-Automatic/dp/B01M17OK6V/ref=sr_1_5?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1522975198&sr=1-5&nodeID=7147441011&psd=1&keywords=swatch+automatic+watches+for+men

May or may not be your style. I picked this up recently for close to 100 and it is a great knock around watch.

I have my dad’s old air corps issue watch. Very similar to that but made by Benrus.

Far above what you want to pay but it's more of an asset purchase than an expense.

I have that Sinn, with a different band. It is a bit more than $100.
Do like some of the ones posted. When you get it, make sure you pose your gorilla arm next a wheel on you Porcshhhhh showing it off. |

I actually like the basic Timex stuff that are $40 at Amazon.

As sexy as a black or dark face watch is, it's terrible trying to read the time in low level lighting such as indoors (restaurant/bar).
