Another watch thread,
I have a few fancy valuable watches... But after nearly losing one whilst out drinking the other week.
aswell as damaging the case, ive decided to get a cheap every day watch.
Does anyone on here have an Ice -watch?
Are they quite robust?..
Keep time moderatly well?
Im undecided between these two:

My brother has one. It's some of the worst plastic crap I've ever seen.
For cheap watches I've got a steel Casio Classic and a Skagen with leather strap. The latter is reasonably nice for a cheap watch.

If you want cheap plastic, go casio.
For my daily beater i got a rotary diver off ebay which was argos overstock. Can't fault it apart from the fake leather band.

Don't waste your time with an Ice Watch.
My vote for a cheap everyday watch goes to the Seiko Monster: http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-divers-60/seiko-divers-automatic-black-monster-skx779k-skx779-mens-watch-1106.html
Lots of wrist presence and hard as fcuk

They're also horrible looking things that shouldn't be worn by anyone above the age of 15.

Then the pin will snap in the buckle and you'll have to buy another.

Ha Ha. I'm wearing my bright red G-Shock G-Lide today.
I wear what I like, not what's accepted by the cool kids. I must be so uncool. EPIC.

Genuinely prefer most recent pics to original ones. Too one is trying too hard to impress. It's just numbers on a screen .

I think the white/tan looks best as well.
Looks like you might have forgot to pay for international shipping though?

They say you need to add it manually though. Buy 12 of the 1$ contributions.
