Any opinions on watches?

I'm looking for a good one for a business setting, just got accepted to the business college here at UofA and I want a nice watch I can start wearing to meetings and interviews. I definitely want a metal band, but I can't seem to find one with a face that really jumps out at me as a business watch.

I like this thread. I don't think I would fit or feel comfortable in a lot of the clothes here, but I like looking at nice clothes, and I like that other people care.

It's because you can always spot a foreigner by their shoes. Odd, yes, but it's so telling.

You could tell I'm not an american just by my shoes?

Hmm what kind of style do you have with your hair? Length-wise?

Mines super short on the sides and long on the top so I can kind of feel if things are going a little astray. I guess you can just practice 'scrunches in the mirror' So you know if you just grab a bit with your hand and flick what it 'usually looks like' Try and make it as quick as possible, because you might look like a wanker if you're taking your time checking yourself out in a window.

Where in the country is boat shoes an old person thing? I have heard multiple people say that but around me they are classic college staples.

I'd really recommend desert boots if you want something casual other then vans. From what I gathered it sounds like you are a pants even in summer type of guy which is fine, but I don't think boat shoes go nearly as well with pants as desert boots. If I read that wrong and you are a shorts guy then boat shoes are good but if they are to old feeling maybe some white primsolls would be good.

If you like desert boots, Clarks is the major go to brand. They have a bunch of different styles and colours. I dont own any personally, but know people who do, and they swear by them.

Of the 2 you posted, I was more a fan of the first, didnt like the second one. I like Clarks mroe than either though.

Well I live down south, near Melbourne(I am 2 hours away but you probably don't even know where Melbourne is).

Yeah I am a pants in summer kind of guy haha, basically I always wear pants, and where I live it is never really "winter", we may get some rain but usually hot and dry. I just am not really into shorts, they don't look as nice or as smart in my opinion. I am really liking the look of desert boots, would you recommend a higher or lower heel?
These are all ones I just found through a google search, and I think I like the flatter heels.
More stylish ones
more casual, closer to vans *edit-I wouldn't get white, that is suicide where I live
I like the styles of both of these, but really like the first pair.
What are your thoughts people?

Or hair wax. I think I will make a tutorial on how to use hair wax, aka the best kept secret in men's hair styling.

There's a huge variety to choose from. Whats your budget? Someone mentioned the omega speed/seamaster. You cannot go wrong with Omega, the planet ocean is my personal favourite.

Consider a leather band though if you wear it on formal occasions, looks better under a suit. You can always switch bands of course.
