As above. Im after a simple analogue and smart ish watch. Where should I put my cash??? I wear a Casio f91 for work and have a Jap Seiko 5 (has a blue second hand not sure what the model is) with a leather strap for best.

£80? Ha! Loddrick will be along soon to pour scorn on your poverty time piece. You would be as well drawing twelve equidistant marks in a circle on your wrist and hammering a nail in there as a sun dial you pauper.

Well that’ll buy you the first hour. This is STW £80 is what you’d tip the guy holding the door open for you at the independent watch dealers.

You could do much worse than one of these, £47 to you sir:

If you want something a bit ‘dressier’, then there’s these:

Drac, a straight ton will get the door opened for you. £150 and I’ll touch the brim of my hat. £200 gets a knowing smile and “Good day, sir.”

The Swatch Chrono Plastic at £76.00 in black is a beautiful watch. Tough and works very well. Very comfortable, very practical, and really is a good looking watch. A non pretentious watch.

Pah!
Get yourself onto ebay and search for ‘shark sport watches’. You could get a watch for every day of the week for £80!

I got one for work (high risk of breakage so didn’t want to spend a fortune) fully expecting it to fall apart within hours of putting it on my wrist but after 12 months its never missed a beat.

I got a nice simple Diesel watch for £85. Second diesel watch I’ve had and both proved very reliable.

Plus one for liking simple watches. I cannot understand chronographs. At what point does anyone need anything more than a second hand? It’s not like I need to time an egg to a thousandth of a second!

For quality I’d get a Tissot Quartz. If you can find one for £80 you like.

Also look at Skagen and Swatch [H/T Kukonaya]

£80? That’ll barely buy you the mobile phone you should be using to tell you the time!!

Liking some of the suggestions above, they look good. Seiko gets my vote

I’d forgotten about Swatch! Not all of us are minted and/or want to spend oodles of cash on a watch. So ner 😉

I have a Lorus Sports watch – titanium case, crystal face, waterproof and accurate to within seconds a month. Very light too. Less than £40.
And stocked by highstreet jewellers so you can try before you buy.

The Mrs has a Citizen Eco Drive, really nice. The most impressive thing about it is the fact she’s failed to scratch/break it after 4 years or so. I’d you knew how often she walked into stuff you’d be impressed….
