Can't make a decision without asking the NICO guys. Well Wes, your talking to the right guy. I love watches. I have like 20 of them. One thing that all my watches has to have is the date. I like to know what date it is. I saw this one that looks nice.

http://www.sunglasshut.com/sgh...52779

The second Skagen watch is the nicest, but I personally wouldn't buy it because it doesn't have the date and a second hand. #3 is very nice. If I had to choose from those 6, #3 would be the one for me.

This one is nice too.

I hope this helps Wes.

Yes, it tells it very well lol. I haven't had to reset it since I bought it last Dec. It also gave me almost exact ETA for my trips to Louisville and back(which btw I will never be making again, broke up with my g/f, but, I digress.). It works REALLY well if you are going to be flying, which occasionally I get to do. You can figure your ETA, Gas usage, time to decend, time to ascend, ascent speed, descent speed, oil usage, conversion from MPH>KM/H>Knots, and interchangeably. 3 alarms that can be set for diff time zones, good stuff ;) OH, it even adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides, and does percentages, as well as square roots.

I kinda like that, too bad you cant get it without gold... :(

This will be my 3rd watch, I have a POS that I wear normally, a fossil BLUE with a dead battery (going to walmart soon) and then this...

BTW, if anyone knows where I can get a new band for a fossil watch let me know.....

That's a nice watch Josh. I allways wanted to get the Blue Angels watch they had, but hey made a new version that I don't like. I have many watches, but this is the one that I'm useing the most now.

Classic dive watch. This watch has been around for years. It never goes out of style. Automatic so you don't need bateries. My favorite.

Seiko's are very nice, I have 2 of them right now. The Eco-Drive on the Citizen is really nice Wes, I have never had mine go below the 3 levels of charge, and I'm inside under low lighting a lot. It picks up light so well that you never have to take it outside and charge it. Hey louie, maybe you know this, I have a Manhattan that I got a few years back, it has the diamond below the 12, and I can't seem to find any reviews or anything on it. Ever heard of them?

door number 6 !

it reeks of "I have a small pen15, but look at the size of my watch!"

there's a navy acronym for such a watch, BWLD, think about it, not hard to figure out.

it's a very neat looking watch, I think having stuff on things that I have no idea what they're for, just as long as it looks good.

Your linky is to the Seiko from earlier?

I think he wanted to stay away from a "color" face??

Wes, was the watch free or did you pay for it? I'm confused. You said that you have the opportunity to get one free, but then you say that they are in your price range. Anyway, nice watch.

It was a barter situation as there was a "value" owed to Mr. Wes :D.

Maybe I'm just a simple guy raised in southern Illinois, but I hate watches, cologne, and shirts that cost more than $10.

For $24:http://www.walmart.com/catalog...A5167

And ones like these are about $55:http://www.walmart.com/catalog...A5167
