Need to replace my Casio £6.99 watch

psd99 · 23 Oct 2009 at 12:17

hi all

My 9 year old Casio Argos watch has broken
The strap has gone - already replaced once

and now the battery is dying

I think it is time to UPGRADE my watch
I need something that I can brag about on a Friday night
not a £6.99 model

Still need something sporty, comfortable and this time fashionable.
Budget? Willing to go up to £50 but will only spend more if I really need to.

any suggestions?

yer true that

thing is I would like something that is comfortable

all of the decent watches are all metal the straps that is
so they feel a little uncomfortable

so is swatch good stuff and trendy?

Again, coming back to the same point,

Do not deny yourself the right to be cool!
Anybody that laughs is just trying to cover their jealousy.

I think swatch are about the best in your price range.

What colours or style are you looking at?
Anything like the ones I suggested earlier?

this one looks really good
something similar in style or design

I think this one would be like marmite you'll resent it or spread it on your toast without a shadow of a doubt

£5 over budget but some nice bright combinations and it's nice and simple.

Is it sad I actually do like the face of it with the numbers.. If it was a plain blue strap I would actually consider wearing it... I think it looks funky, but the strap is a tad bit far..

I quite like that Back Nixon watch, the rest look a bit too odd for everyday wearing.. Maybe the white one for a change?

yer I agree
it does look a little bit childish
think it is those numbers on the strap

but the plain white other one looks a good buy
out of stock at the moment but looks decent

lol decisions decisions
That casio gshock one looks good but
I still quite like that blue swatch one

It looks pretty damn funky but does anyone know if it has a light?!

There are several well established guys at my work place who probably earn beyond 45k and they still wear that £5 casio, they swear by it, never looses a second.

Well I earn well less than that but I still want to get rid of that crappy £5 one
I need to change my style
