I would look at in a lower price catagory, Tissot, Hamilton, Movado, Rado

Then Omega or Tag

Costco has some great pricing on Tag, Omega and a few other models

I have a cheap Casio dive watch, that I wear on holidays (Scubadiving)

Personally I own 2 Vintage Omegas, 1 Vintage Tudor Oyster (Rolex)
1 Breitling

I just had my other Breitling stolen, I was looking at the new Breitlings, don't like the new ones, so I replaced it with a Rolex Daytona about 3 weeks ago.
Gemoro special ordered it in, since their display had a barely noticable scratch on the bracelet, plus the gave me a very small discount on the Rolex and through in an appraisal, I had a new appraisal done on my other Breiting, since the last ones were done a long time ago at Swedish Jewellers.

I've had a Tissot PRS 200 for 4 or 5 years now and it's been a rock solid watch. I think I'm on my 3rd or 4th battery, but I love the watch.

Well, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one on here with a watch problem!! hahaha


Judging from what I've seen here, I might go for 2 or 3 in the $500 range, and call it a day. That Citizen is very nice, and I like the Tissot and the Nite.

We'll see though.

Thansk for all the inputs guys.

that was costco's regular price on it. they had that one for one year. when I looked it up on the internet the american MSRP was 450.00

like everything at costco, some stuff is a smokin deal, some is a ok deal, some isn't a deal.

this is my normal watch, I use a casio digital for work, and for other occasions I use my watch I got grom my great grampa, a 1957 bulova senator (well I think thats what it is.. everything looks right except the movment model) its a 1957 movment, just can't find the movment model listed for that watch.......

Pretty generic style you're looking at, to be honest the issue I have with watches like Tissot is they just seem like over priced fossils or something similar. While granted they are probably reliable and keep good time I hardly seem them as anything special and certainly not arm bling Probably better off with the citizens as they are eco drive and offer many similar styles for the same or less money. I actually like the citizens better, much better styles like the one Steve posted is sweet.

Bulova have some pretty cool styles worth looking at, one I like is this one


You could also look at Emporio Armani which have similar styles to what you're looking at but offer ceramic cases and straps. They have silver ones to but I like the blacks and brown ones
