Can spend about $2000.

I am looking for something that is versatile: suitable for everyday use, durable, but would still go well with a suit. Metal strap. Keeps track of the date. I hope for this watch to be the last one I purchase for at the next ten or fifteen years. I have a small wrist, so I'd prefer a mid-size watch.

Here are the two that I was thinking about:

Tag Heuer Carrera

Omega Seamaster 300m

Which one do you like more?

Poll: Which Watch?
(Vote): Watch 1
(Vote): Watch 2

I'm open to any other suggestions!

How about a watch on which you can actually clearly see the hands and the marks for every hour/minute?

Ugh... if i'd have to choose I'd go with n1. There at least the hour marks look normal and the hands are thin so you'll actually be able to tell the time

edit: ohh yeah, the 1st one also has the option of telling the date. I can't live without it in a watch. Now definitely n1.

How about you buy a 5 dollar watch replica in China, and buy me something for the other 1995, haha. As for actual feedback, I think both of them are too busy for my taste. If you're going to go all out, I'd suggest an elegant, simple watch.

Movado has some nice models.

EDIT: Movado is generally assuming (bar some models) that you aren't actually using the watch as a primary form to tell time accurately, but as fashion. Most of them don't have increments telling you where the hours are (i.e. plain circle).

I'm open to any other suggestions!

I suggest you buy a $1000 watch and host a $1000 tournament with the top foreigners. Spread that wealth around!

Best ad ever for watches. Makes me wanna buy a Patek Philippe so badly. Unfortunately it's probably out of most ordinary peoples availability range.

Go with watch no. 1, by far the prettiest of the two. The huge numbers on the outer rim of watch no. 2 make me dislike it so bad.
Trying is the first step towards failure, and hope is the first step towards disappointment!

Someone told me that a watch to a man is like a purse to a women. I guess you have to spend a lot of money on it to look good.

Regular people just use cell phones.

Watch 1 looks really good.
I have one of these types of watches, been using it for about 3-4 years and it still looks kinda new.

There are plenty of good reliable watches that will still last for ten years and only be a fraction of the price. Most people won't know you only spent <$100 on it, either. Who are you trying to impress?

My recommendation is you DON'T spend 2k$ on a watch. Get a really nice 500$ one and save / spend the rest.

A watch tells time and looks nice sometimes. Oh and it gets stolen. Not worth 2k$ dude.

My opinion on watches is that while they look nice on occasion, there are so many things that tell time around us (cell phones, practically everything that runs on electricity) that they have really no point other than fashion.

The first ones looks nicer, and if you consider seiko,

I have a Seiko Primier and I can tell you its well made. They have ones that keep track of the date for you too. You cant really see the background of the watches, but these ones usually have background patterns (square or curvy) on the watches which are quite subtle and quite nice.
