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.

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.

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:

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
