[Punk'd]

That rolex is insane.. My dad has a 6,000 doller one its nice and has a cool tick to it. Takes no battery.. Windes itself up everytime you move it

I got this Fossil (http://www.fossil.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=22998&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=957&iSubCat=967&iProductID=22998) It was the only nice looking watch I could afford when I was 14.:blah:

i would rather get a 40 dollar watch and have an extra 360 for my quad. just me though:o

I got a fossil and really like it, I don't wear it unless I'm going out. I tend to be rough on stuff and it was a gift from a friend so I hate to mess it up. Other than it, I either use my phone or a timex(takes a lickin and keeps on tickin)

I have a Fossil ... but It's not shown on their site . It looks almost like the Blue Degrade .. but it's different . The date is shown on the bottom instead of the side , the hour part of the watch only has 12 , 3 and 9 .... the minute increments are in 10s ... and the hands and numbers glow in the dark . It's a complete metal watch .

My girlfriend bought it for me a few weeks ago .. I love it . It was like $120 Canadian and comes witha 10 year warranty .

Oh and the dial turns ... but I don't know why it turns . :ermm: I guess I can set it for something ???? :confused:

Fossil or Bullova,depending on what ya want it for.

as long as mine shows me what time it is and goes in the water I`ll be happy

I have a Fossil too and only wear it when I have to dress up. I hate jewelry. I rarley ever even wear my wedding ring. I dont really now of any european watches in that price range. I like the Breitling watches, but they are a little out of that price range. My grand father still has the breitling pilots watch that was issued to him as a pilot in WWII. It quit working about ten years ago, so we sent it in to them and the fixed it at no charge.
I like this one (http://www.breitling.com/en/models/aeromarine/colt_automatic/)

I have two watches that I wear... one is dress, the other is for outdoors/rough use.

Seiko Kinetic (I've had it for 2+ years - NO problems - GREAT watch for the price)

Casio G-Shock (solar powered with atomic clock sync)

i broke my last fossil:ermm: i just dont like how heavy some of those watches are. i had this mark on my hand where it would hit it when i was walking

[plkmonster2]

I still love my 40 dollar timex... lol, 10 years, and still going on the original battery. Too bad the glass it pretty dinged up. I've had a fossil, and my brother had a relic.. Both were nice, but the glass was too prone to getting smashed..

[tater_kamik]

yup, smashed the glass on my fossil in less than a year

I have a citizen watch. got it as a present for being in my dad's wedding.

It is pretty neat. has no bateries. It has a solar panel in the backround of the watch, and when the watch starts to go low it goes 2 secconds at once instead of one seccond at a time.

pretty cool and I think it was 250ish. I would have rathered the 250tho I am to afraid to wear it.

[thomps6s]

No offense to anyone that owns a fossil watch, but those are the biggest pieces of crap. They break easy and often.
I have a ESQ, it is swiss made by Movado. I paid around 250. I love it, it is very high quality and and a solid watch.
Check http://www.esq-watch.com/selector/results.cfm?Gender=Men%27s&pgNumber=1&thisImg=1 there are some really nice ones for under $200.

I have a Relic, I had never heard of it before I got it as a present. I wear mine everywhere, in the shower, riding, swimming, wakeboarding, even doing yardwork & stuff. It is a nice watch but not too nice. Similoar to fossil quality.

I would get a citizen or a swiss
