Anyone keen on watches?

It’s only 36mm which would be regarded by most as on the small side for a man’s wrist.

Hi Roy.

I might be on the market for a new watch. My old Pulsar Kinetic is drifting away.

Can you link me some good watch sites? I don't trust eBay, because of fakes etc.

How much are you looking to spend?

Don’t know whether you’ve got a particular brand in mind but it’s worth checking reviews on YouTube to help with your choice.

Once you’ve identified what one you want just Google who’s selling it cheapest and check for money off vouchers available.

As you had a kinetic I’m guessing you want a watch you don’t have to worry about? Look at Citizen eco drives and Casio solars in this connection.

This looks ok

Max budget will be around £350.

A nice watch but more of a dress watch than an everyday beater. The polished case will be prone to scratches likewise seiko’s hardlex crystal isn’t as robust as sapphire as far as scratch resistance is concerned.

In your situation and with that budget I’d get an analogue Casio solar for everyday use (around £100) and an Orient bambino auto (a number of models available for around £200) for high days and holidays.

Cheers, Roy.

I like that.

I've always worn a dress watch every day except years ago when I was labouring so wore a Casio.

I like the Armitron I got a couple of weeks back - looks a lot better in real life than in the pictures and not expensive for a flash watch:

I had an old (50's)gruen with a sunburst dial in that style, just was different colour

Today’s wrist companion was this Laco Flieger type A

Nice clean and uncluttered dial. :)
