What watch

[wellquickwoody]

Buy something ceramic, unlike other watches at that price point it will not scratch, which means 3 years down the line it still looks like new.

Buy something ceramic, unlike other watches at that price point it will not scratch, which means 3 years down the line it still looks like new.

The thing to remember with ceramic watches though, is that if you do drop them they shatter into about 6 million pieces. I bought a Storm Hero around 5 years ago and it had a pretty terrible clasp. It came undone when I clapped. The watch flew off my wrist, hit the floor and boom! Links broken, housing destroyed. Full refund please Mr. Storm.

(Which I might add, I will never buy again - terrible service)

Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't own watches...

Not saying my opinion is worth anything, I do go around sporting one of these BADBOYS even when not swimming.

Nothing wrong with that, it does the job. By the way my Monster is black - a lot less garish than the orange one.

The glass is broken on one because I dropped it on a hard floor... twice. So that was totally my fault.

The other, I broke the buckle on the leather strap. That was actually quite annoying even after a year's worth of use.

You do know that the glass and straps are replaceable

OK, so I have a budget of £1200. I wouldn't normally spend this much but i was left some money by my grandmother when she passed away a couple of years ago and thought this would be a good way of spending/investing it. More than happy to have a second hand watch if it can be easily proved it's genuine. All help greatly appreciated. Could push it to £1500 for something i really loved.

I'd prefer something that i can wear both casually and that's relatively smart.

Citizen do some great Eco drive watches starting at £100 or less.

Yep. I stretched to £150 for one of these as my day to day watch. Not big for a Dive Watch & v robust. Changed the strap mind you.

I wonder how many people check their mobile first for the time even when wearing a watch?
