I'm having the hardest time deciding on a watch if anyone wants to help me out. I am narrowing the features down but picking a specific one is torturing me.

Here is what I'm looking for

-Has to be currently available on Amazon
-Under $200
-Leather Strap (or very easily changed to a leather strap)
-Small-medium face, I have skinny woman wrists (I am a male though)
-Classy, not sporty
-Only feature I need is for it to tell the time (really narrowing it down...hah)
-Prefer automatic as I don't mind having to wind it everyday if needed
-Prefer it to not be a fashion watch brand
-No gold on it

I've been looking (and liking) Seiko, Tissot, some Invictas, and some Citizens but it doesn't have to be one of these brands. Thanks in advance, lots of nice watches in this thread.


Few points:
1. Automatic is not the same as hand-wound.
Automatic mechanisms may have the hand-winding function but it is not implied. Especially at this price level, it will most likely be a simple automatic (winds from the movements of the wrist).
2. Automatic is nice but quartz will give you better accuracy, and you will find a LOT more quartz models that fit your criteria.
3. Look into orient as well, like seiko, they make good cheap japanese automatic movements. Some people dislike the logo, though.

What I suggest (in order of personal preference):
1. BY FAR, this is an extremely good deal - Seiko Coutura with 4R38 movement - Seiko Coutura
Sapphire crystal (no scratch), hand winding, good movement, pretty much amazing watch for the price.

2. Orient Esteem, open heart, not only do you get an automatic movement, but you get to see it work! - Orient Esteem
also in black: Orient Esteem Black
3. Orient Power reserve (tells you how wound it is) - Orient Vintage
4. Citizen Eco-Drive (quartz, but not 'simple' quartz, wiki it for more details) - Citizen Eco-Drive
5. Bulova quartz, cheap and looks great IRL, sunburst dial is awesome - Bulova
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

I've been looking on this exact one - I really like the metalic/blue nuances. It's abit of a bummer that it says "DENMARK" in the clock face as well... Invasive model name is bad enough, but country as well... Ugh.

Besides, it feels 'rednecky' to wear a watch that has your own country in large letters printed on it.. Maybe thats just me

I'd really like a stylish watch without model printed on the face of the clock, but alas, they seem impossible to find..



The funny thing is, Skagen is arguably more American than Danish. The reason it says Denmark on the face is probably largely so people in North America have a "oh, it's European, must be well made and classy" reaction than anything else. That said, this is what I have:

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate it. The 2nd watch in black you linked is my pick so far but I'm still gonna research and think on it for a few more days.

Pretty sure there is nothing danish about the brand at all. It's just there to make the designed in Nevada, manufactured in Hong Kong watches seem more international.

The actual brand name is "Skagen Denmark", which is why they slap the "Denmark" on all the watches.

I don't own it, but I really like it, just because it's ultra clean. I have no idea how the shades of gray blend in with real usage though. Would be awesome to have the exact same thing with silver / glow in the dark hands.

There are alot of watches with automatic movements in the seiko 5 series. There's a wide variety in styles of the watches too. I'd check it out if I were you!

No problem, glad to help. You can't really go wrong with either if you ask me, it's about personal preference obviously, and of course you can keep searching, if you like Orient, they have a few more models in that price range as well. You can find them all here, and they do have some discounts/etc. (you can google orient code and you'll find some) - http://orientwatchusa.com/

Also, solsken is right, there is a wide range of Seiko 5s in this budget as well, but they mostly have 7S26 and 7S36 movements, which are not as good as the 4R38 in the first link I posted. They have no hand winding, and no hacking (hacking means that the seconds hand stops when you pull out the crown to adjust it), and are slightly less accurate, but usually they come at a good price and are overall good watches.

This is the closest picture I could find. The difference is that the dial (the clock's face or whatever it's called) is a colour a little darker than the rest of the clock and not white.

That's nice! What ref. is that Longines? I don't think I've seen that particular one before, it is a Master series? Most of them have blue hands and round buttons. This almost looks like a mashup with Master and Saint-Imier.

This is a fun piece. I can't say that I find it very good looking, with those extremely long lugs down to the strap. But that's just personal preference but fun with new watches that aren't just one of the old cookie cutter kind. What does one cost, if I may ask?
