809381 2009-09-12 10:40:00 I m looking for a good quality wrist watch. No not something like Rolex but something under $1k.

Can you suggest some good brands out there. Dont need those sporty types with stop watch etc. Some brand that is contemporary by design and popular.

If you can post a list of 3-4 brands in order or quality and looks will be great

thankss :D

809383 2009-09-12 10:42:00 My $20 KMart watch has lasted me around 7 years without a battery change, and is still going strong.

Citizen watches are quite good though in terms of quality.

809384 2009-09-12 10:49:00 I still wear my Father's seiko when I go out.

Doesn't miss a beat. My Casio I use for everyday was only around $50 is still good too.

Try this site:-
http://www.seiko.co.nz/

I would go there if I wanted quality.

809385 2009-09-12 11:05:00 Overseas would def be cheaper than NZ.

Just go to some shops and look I guess. If you have a grand I guess Citizen would be a bit down than you want. Raymond Weil, Longiness are two.

FYI, Rolex for some can be the same prices to Omega, Tag etc... but for 2 or 3 good computers you could get one :D Bought overseas that is. They are self winding so never need a battery, they use your wrist movement as kinetic energy. If you have 2 or 3 grand maybe Tudor the little brother of Rolex that's if it hasn't gone up in prices - oh just one good computer.

809386 2009-09-12 11:31:00 Seiko. Just replaced the battery in my Seiko LCD watch for the first time that I bought in 1995. Have had Seiko watches since the mid 70s with mechanical watches then to LCD.

809387 2009-09-12 12:09:00 Casio or Omega or Tag Heuer beeswax34 (63)
809388 2009-09-12 12:15:00 I don't know how much an Omega Constellation goes for, but I think they're great. Subtle not a huge flash thing. Sleek. Hahaha.

But a 20$ watch from the warehouse will do whatever you want.

Never wore watches myself.

809389 2009-09-12 14:42:00 Get an iWatch, only $4,009 and comes with the assured smugness of knowing that, though it is not a good watch, it is expensive and hence "in". R2x1 (4628)
809390 2009-09-12 21:17:00 Seiko. Without question.
Husbands Seiko of unmentionable age finally gave up and unfortunately due to price we had to settle for a Casio.

Seiko isn't expensive like Rolex, just past our budget at present, so go for one of them........
