Not sure if you prefer bulkier watches or not

I'm a big fan of my Skagen watch.

I got this Citizen watch for Christmas last year for about $150.

Oh, I like that. The only put off is the name of the day at the top seems to stick out and look tacky.

If you like that, then you might consider this inexpensive Fossil. I've had it for over a year and it's held up well and looks good with most attire.

My last two watches, a Fossil and a Timex, both shit the bed. In fact, I've never had any watch that lasted more than 2 or 3 years. What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, I'd like a nice watch like a Skagen, Sieko or Citizen, but it doesn't seem like any of them have a back light. What the hell good is a watch that you can't see in the dark? I don't want to open my cell phone to illuminate my watch to see the time. The luminous hands only stay luminous for a couple of hours. I want something that I can wake up and see the time. I like this one posted earlier, but it doesn't appear to light up:

Uh, luminescent hands? No "nice" watch has a backlight. Funny that a Timex failed you though. Those suckers are tough. I even put mine in an ultrasonic cleaner we have at work multiple times with zero issues.

And CoinOperatedBoy, while I have no problems with Fossil there really isn't any comparison between them and Hamilton.

Snagged a picture of mine. This is I think the 5th band I've had on the watch and I think it's my favorite so far (all the others have been all leather).

I love this thing. Through all the wear and tear that has made it look like that, it's never missed a beat except when the battery died.

I got this Citizen from a Slickdeal several months ago. Fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I'm very picky when it comes to watches and most of them don't really appeal to me, but this one did right off the bat. The controls are a little quirky but gets the job done.

my new fascination is skeleton watches, but they seem to be ultra-expensive

Timex, you won't be disappointed.

Technology marches on. Wrist watches are so last century. This is better than a wrist watch. Wrist watches rub on all those scars you obtained when you were a little emo punk.

The only scars I have are the ones I earned in battle. I suggest you learn your place and show some respect kid.

I like my Seiko.. Beat the livin' shit out of it and it looks great and keeps on keepin time. And.. it was only like $150.

Getting into the feet on your pajamas is not usually described as a "battle" even if you did injure yourself in the process.

Luminescent hands don't last through the night.

when did this turn into a poetry slam?

They do on better watches. It doesn't on my Casio, but they last pretty long on my Tag.

Seagull has a movement that is often used in a skeleton watch. I have seen it used in their own skeleton watch, and a few other low end brands for around $100 or so.

Looks like the US retailer for Seagull's website is down. They wanted something around $180-$200 for the watch. A bit overpriced but it is a nice looking watch. I just cannot remember who else was using that movement now that I think about it. Fossil may have had a skeleton.
