Choosing my new watch

chameleon · 30 Mar 2012 at 12:36

As my old watch has pretty much given up the ghost and my birthday is coming up I've narrowed my choices down to two front runners.

Or

The citizen is stretching the budged quite a bit but is awfy nice.
What would you choose?

The casio.

I think they are both absolutely hideous! So busy!

Seconded on the hideous front but I assume that is the style you like. Out of the two the casio shades it but I can't imagine telling anyone my watch is a "wave-ceptor".

Traffic_Warden · 30 Mar 2012 at 13:30

I would not say they are hideous, thats to the buyers opinion, but i prefer the casio out of the two

The casio in the OP was originally the one i was after but ended up getting this one:

Didnt pay the full price as it was on sale and the missus got it for me...beautiful watch, love it to bits and use it as my daily watch...keep my Breitling for special occassions or nights out.
