Won't be to everyones liking with the big logo and all but I really like it. Something like that anyways, I've got a little River Island fake plastic thing just now, it looks the part. Only thing is it stopped working after about 2 days and the leather is starting to peal off a bit. Thats what I get but it was purely for aesthetics :p

If I were to choose from your selection I would probably go with a vintage Omega. They have a 'classy' kind of look. Something a businessman would wear. Post pics of the watches you're intrested in.

Get the ones that looks good on you. Fit your wrists perfectly (smaller diameter for smaller wrists etc.). Scratch-proof sapphire is a plus.

I wear a Nixon black watch for most days that I go to class, work, etc..

And if I'm doing activity where I don't want a metal watch like hiking, camping, road trips, or concerts, I have a leather Timex expedition with black straps. Not the sexiest but its really sturdy and has lasted years with a good amount of abuse.

Not necessarily costing hundreds, or incredibly classy, but they both fit my watch needs for day to day life of a relatively active college student and they've both served me well.

It looks nice but is completely worthless at time telling.

Hell yes they are, especially with an engraved faceplate.

I wear a Tag F1 Chrono but if I could stretch to it I'd definitely go for an Omega Seamaster.

I just bought one of those yesterday, as seen here:

Just curious, what do you think about your watch and how much did you pay for it? Do you have the rubber bracelet or the metal one, and what color faceplate does yours have?

I've had bad experiences with Nixon watches, I've owned two and both broke within a year. For the money I paid it definitely wasn't worth it.

Sorry, but that watch screams "I'm a douchebag."

i can get a vintage omega seamaster, black dial, for about $150. another $300, and omega will repair, replace and clean the timing, wristband, the crystal etc. essentially a new watch.
