You have much finer tastes than I. My lifestyle tends to be fairly aggressive (working on the car, hiking, falling off logs, driving submarines, etc.) so my watch needs to be pretty durable. I'm wearing rapidly through my second Casio G-Shock -- the first lasted me 13 years, this one looks like it's dying in a short 3 years. The durability just isn't there!
So I've been looking at Citizen's Titanium Eco-Drive watches. Elegant, simple, and designed to last forever. I don't really feel like blowing $350 on a good watch though, when I could happily spend $350 on my beautiful German Mistress.
