Thinking about getting a first watch for me. I feel kind of weird at my part-time job as a bank teller all dressed up in a dress shirt and a tie with no watch. What would you guys suggest that I could get on Amazon or a retail store for under $150? Looking at Fossils, Invictas etc. but am willing to have suggestions. Would prefer black, but I'm fine with whatev. Thanks

I've never had luck long term with fossil watches, uncle has a few indict as and liked them.
Black as in band? They are cheap to replace if it has a steel or cloth band just make sure that the watch isn't an odd band size if it has a metal band.
If you have a small locally owned jewelry store go make friends with them it'll come in handy later. They'll have books of watches they can order in for you, I caution some are really notice and spendy.

And the pondering now begins. Here are a few of the watches I can order with work "points". Thoughts? There are also numerous other Nixon's that are more entry level and another eco drive.
nixon 42-20 chrono matte
citizens proximity eco-drive
nixon 48-20 chrono leather
emporio armani chronograph mens watch blue dial

Actually a polyurethane band with a nylon backing so not leather as I thought. Also is bluetooth 4.0 capable and does some phone notifications, etc. Thinking about it....
I say either the Proximity or the Emporio Armani.

Ughuhughugh.....why do I torture myself?? I already have a Speedy...but the "grey side of the moon" edition causes me to salivate...I'm also intrigued by the 44.25mm size vs. the Speedy original at 42mm. I need to go look at this in person. Or maybe I should just stay away...

That thing is absolutely stunning. Too bad it's around a $10k price tag haha
For me though, I would be all over a regular 42mm manual wind Moonwatch. Something about that classic design, and I've always loved manual winders...but then, if I already had one, I might be dreaming about this one too!

On the same page with ya, my friend. My buddies here scoffed at me taking the original manual winding Speedy vs. the automatic version. Nope, it had to be the original, I say! I still enjoy manually winding it every two days or so. Never gets old. I love it. The other stuff I can only dream about. Heck, I never envisioned me even having this one. My wife still loved me enough after our 10 year anniversary, I guess. lol
Haven't worn a watch (besides GPS on the course) in years but had the itch recently so starting with this one. Will be here Monday.

Nice cookie. I'm loving having a truly nice watch, problem is, I think it'll be a gateway thing for me.... Especially with my sister in laws discount at her store...
I hear ya....unsure that I would ever collect them but if I wear this one enough and enjoy it then I'll eventually be on the lookout for a true nice watch.

I love my Citizen. Its not as fancy as a lot of watches in this thread, but its perfect for what I want and need.

I've had my Citizen EcoDrive for about 6 years now and love it. I want to upgrade to a "fancier watch" bi look at the citizens for a 1/3 of the price and can't do it.

Yeah me too. If you spend 4x what a nice Citizen costs you get a watch that looks just like a nice Citizen.

Yes, it does. Overkill perhaps. It's funny. The other day it warned me of a storm that was coming. Apparently if the barometer drops a certain amount, a storm alarm goes off.
What model is it? I want to read up on it.
