If you're trying to be a baller, drop a few grand and get something good. Otherwise, grab something for $150 or less. Nobody is impressed by a $500 watch, and that's really the only reason to spend more than $150 on one.

Citizen? You might as well slap on a Timex. t's and p's.

FWIW, I've owned a Tissot and a Victorinox...both a decade ago or more as gifts. The Victorinox started running backwards, and the Tissot got lost. I can't completely blame the Tissot, but I can't think of anyone other than myself to blame, and that ain't happening.

Let me revise that... there's obviously a spot in the market for them. They're not complete garbage. But I've never owned one for 3+ years. They take a dump on me in the first couple years. That's a waste of $300 from where I stand. That having been said, I am hard on watches.

I have been wanting a titanium Tissot T-Touch for a while. Got a hamilton khaki automatic - great watch for the price

Not looking to be a "baller" - just looking for the best watch for the money.

If I wanted to ****ing impress people, I'd go blow $5-10k on a Rolex, Omega or Breitling.

OTW is the humble Dane McCloud. Dude is buying watches, playoff tickets, and dining at st. Elmos.

People still wear watches?

Seems like a huge waste of money since you can just look at your phone.

Ill never own another citizen. Great watch for looks but the crystal is shit if you do real work. Scratch like a bitch. I have the Blue Angels watch. I also have a TAG and wont have a second. My current favorite is a seiko And my indestructable is a Timex.

Go big. Get a Rolex Submariner

$500 isn't really a value point in watches, IMO. If you aren't trying to be a baller (and I don't mean that as a pejorative), then you might as well spend $100- $150 and call it good. A $500 watch doesn't look any better, last any longer, nor hold its value any more than a less expensive alternative.

I'd like to have a Tag, but would rather not spend that kind of cash.

The Tissot and the Victorinox have sapphire crystal faces, IIRC.

get a tag off of Craig's List, I just bought a cheap Neff digital watch, but my next watch will mos def be a Tag.

I tend to agree.

I like some of the Gucci Stainless, they're around 1300.00
