Spec Me: A ~£100 Everyday Watch Thats a bit Quirky

[Skeeter]

Hey all

Im looking at getting a watch for everyday use. I have a decent watch but I want one that I can wear everyday and therefore £100 is about my limit. I would like it to be a bit quirky. I like the oversized style watches, or the mechanical looking ones with lots of bare metal and details. Ive looked at some from Fossil, Police and Storm, but am open to more recomendations.

As much as I think the things like the binary watches or the LED ones are cool, im not so keen on stopping and having to analyse my watch to be able to tell the time, so it should be quirky yet readable.

Any recomendations welcome.

Quirky in design and currently £100.00 quid (would have to be very quick not many left)

Nice suggestion.

On a personal note this watch is very heavy nothing like the Blade II or Timebomb. Its certainly quirky and often get noticed.

As soon as I looked at that watch i got a very strong smell of permanent marker

VERY similar to that, infact identical with the only changes are that the numbers are gothic and the studs are rivets type, not slit-screwed. Love it to bits. The numbers write on the screen as if you were writing them with a pen too

Theres a lot of variations on this theme. There quite nice.

I love them because of the thick strap. Im 6'4" and skinny straps look weird

Having a binary watch showing the time in an array of lights = WIN

Having to spend 10 mins decyphering your watch to tell the time, and then trying to explain to the few people who havent got bored and walked away that its actually really cool, but looking like a fool = Less Win.

I like this one, but the strap looks a bit fidly

Anyone know where u can get the Tokyo Flash watches in the UK, or better still, see some, as watches always look completely different in real life.
