Looking for advice on watches!

[bobarian]

Lots of good watches out there in that price range. Invicta, Citizen Eco, Seiko You also have to decide on a quartz or an automatic. I picked up an Orient auto about a year ago for around $100, its been a great watch for the price.

In your price range, I really like the Nixon 42-20's. I would have gotten one for myself, but my budget was lower, so I got an Invicta 2770.

I also have a Citizen Calibre 8700, which I really like - that's in your price range, too.

I think automatics are really cool, but at that price point, I prefer the accuracy of a quartz... unless there is a really accurate automatic that I just didn't find when I was looking.

I picked up a Black Mako. http://www.orientwatchusa.com/cem65001b-mako-p-64.html I'm not positive but I think it has a Seiko movement. I also like that it has a 30 hour reserve so I can leave it off for a day and it keeps the time.

I like the Maka XL, but I am just afraid to buy a watch over the internet for fear that it won't fit my wrist.

Another happy Orient guy here. They come pretty large in the bracelet, Tom, but you could measure yours and call Mark and ask if they would work.
Wear mine everyday, love it.


Oh, and you have good taste, Tom, mine is the Mako. I will most definitely buy another, probably a tank style for some versatility, but I do like the autos. Mark Kim is a good guy to buy a watch from, he was very helpful with me.

I've had a pepsi mako for about 4 months now and I love it
