OOPS! Sorry, yes those are all very good questions !
I'll start off by saying I don't really have a budget. When it comes to watch I am very particular about 3 things, in this order.
1. Fit and feel.
2. Aesthetics
3. function.
I've been wearing my tried and true Esquire for the past 28 years because it fit all three criteria perfectly. I've been shopping for a new watch for a better part of the past year but haven't found anything suitable to replace it.
I have a fairly small wrist so the watch face can't be too big. 35-40mm (max). The band has to be adjustable enough to fit just write on my dainty wrists. Not so loose that the watch can roll around or rattle too much. Not so tight that it chokes my wrist.
I don't want the watch face to be too cluttered with tonnes of lettering, numbers, etc. I'm particular about how I want my watch to look. I realize this is all very subjective.
The three functions I use most in a watch are 1. Time. 2. Date. 3. countdown bezel (via rotatable bezel).
Steve, are you a watch collector? :-)
