I want a watch that will suit all occasions, both smart and casual.
I also want it to look quite swanky 
Best I have found so far is this:

Not sure if I prefer the black or silver one yet.
Thoughts?

I quite like Fossil watches. They're not exactly renound for making excelent timekeeping devices, but i think they look great.
I've got this one...

I would really not reccomend something like that.
I just got a Seiko 'Black Monster' and I love it It uses Seikos own in-house auto movement and is abit of a cult watch
And beacuse it is an auto the second hand sweeps instead of ticking. Also never need batterys. But im sure you know all that

For that sort of price you can actually get a swiss movement.

Have a look on there, they are pretty highly rated and will be a much better watch than that police watch!

Personally I am eyeing up one of those. Shares the same styling cues as the Omega Speedmaster which is an all time fav of mine

TBH I don't really care how it works
It's more of a fashion accessory.

Ive got 3 watches.
Seiko Kinetic - for work.
Tag Aqua - for all occasions.
9ct gold Omega quartz - Dress watch.
Tag's worth the most, just shy of £2k. Omegas prob worth £500 or so.

Yeh looked at Nixon before - was going to buy a Nixon Player but I went to try it on and didn't like it in the flesh.

Every day at home, going out etc......would be a waste not to!!
Would never wear it to work or fixing the car or that though!!

I've got a really thing for watches, my most recent purchase was an Omega Speedmaster which I were pretty much everyday and a Breitling and Paneri for dress

I can't get my head round how people can spend more than about £500 on a watch.
