vialister Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thats what I've got at the moment, its called the aviation. superb watch with a million different functions (which I haven't worked out yet). The manual is like a yellow pages. It's heavy, which i like and can also take a damn good beating so no need to worry about damaging it! circuit bored records 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 If you're only going to use it for two weeks, why not just buy the cheapest Casio you cn find? It'll save you money that you could use toward your vacation fun, and it'll beep twice on the hour, reminding you of your wise frugality. Have fun on vacation, man.

828321 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm all about g-shock. Multi Band 5 ftw. Got one for every day of the week I mountain bike and I recently smashed up a really expensive fashion watch. My fiancee bought me a G-Shock and I've smacked the crap out of it and it's still intact (not a scratch). Great watches.

If you are only going to use it for this vacation do this. If not get a Movado (the one I posted earlier is the Saphire? maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 i don't know what's trendy and what isn't when it comes to watches (so i don't know if this will get me made fun of) but my girlfriend got me a nixon for my birthday i'm a fan of the simplicity (she got me the one pictured above) but they have a wide variety at all price ranges: http://www.nixon.com/mens/watches/ do you wear them with your cargo shorts or your dockers?

I used to work at a place where I would get 50% off that bad boy, but never pulled the trigger because it looked ridiculous on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cannot go wrong with a Skagen Agreed, Skagens are very nice timepieces. I'm torn on Nixon, though. I think they are aesthetically pleasing, but I've heard the quality is suspect. Lots of good comments in this thread though, maybe I'll give em another shot and get one. I'm also intrigued with the throne watch recommendation. turbobrando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also intrigued with the throne watch recommendation. Same here. I really want to get one. Actually looking for a casual watch as well as a more formal one. Ive looked at a bunch of Nixon but just havent pulled the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrando Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 My only problem with Nixon watches are the faces being too big. My wrist is tiny, so they look massive on my arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 There are quite a few Nixons that were designed with the smaller wrist in mind. I have tiny little girl wrists and own quite a few Nixons with average sized faces. As far as quality goes, Nixon are actually regarded as one of the best manufactured watches within their price range and key clientele (vs fossil, vestalle, etc). Also, they offer a really kick ass warranty and their customer service is stellar. I sold them bad boys for years and still stick by them.

What are some brick and mortar stores that sell them? I'm sure I can find a better price online, but I definitely want to pick out a model in person.

And it's also good to know I'm not the only one with girl wrists. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxonviolons Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm going on vacation in a few weeks and I don't want to carry around my phone (purposely going stealth). I need a watch but have no idea what is cool these days. Thinking about hitting up CCS.com but since VC is rotten with savvy and stylish users I figured I'd ask for some opinions. I like modern/minimalist devices but I'm not looking to spend an arm and a leg. I would suggest thinking of functionality before style. For example, I don't buy watches that don't have the date on them any more, because I find it actually comes into convenience more often than not. Do you want a timer? An alarm? If you don't care about wearing it after the trip, go to Target and you can find a watch that will work for $20 and you don't have to worry about losing it or scratching it. At my Valet job I have a watch I bought at Target because I didn't wanna worry about scratching it up or whatever, and believe it or not people comment on it all the time, asking what kind it is. So believe it or not even at $20 I found one that looks good! I've had the thing for over a year now, it still looks brand new, and it hasn't steered me wrong! If you want a fancy watch, I have several Nixons simply because I love how they look, and while people will swear by them, I've found they kinda have to be babied. The crystal faces scratch easy, the pins when reseting the time have come out, and they're Japanese movement for the most part, even that big fancy gold 51-30. I am glad we have a thread on watches though, I've definitely been getting into them more and more. Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
