Maybe not ultra smart, but a pretty nice, cheap dive type watch..

Vostok Europe is worth looking at for the price range. I have a K-3 Submariner and it's great. May just crawl over your budget by around £20 though.
These are the kind I'm after
Will take a closer look.I'd prefer a cheap original than a cheap fake.
Does it have an inbuilt light for night use?
Thats the kind of thing I'm after
Yep, its got quite a following.. do a search for a Seiko Orange Monster.. I'm about to buy one for an everyday beater!

do tissot make anything that squeeses under the 100 mark. I have one from not much over it (150ish) and it is a nice watch.
The monsters come in different colours too (e.g. black), if you aren't a fan of the Orange. Though you should be.

Just bought one for £70
Had to get the orange, although the black is nice too..
I've got a Seiko 5 watch with Military Blue Strap, you can get one with metal strap - but I personally prefer the more casual look. Anyway, they can be had for around 30 to 40quid. Fully automatic, great price, great built quality. I've got one for over a 14months so far and still loving it.
Not too expensive that you've got to baby it either.
Only downside about kinetic Automatic watches are, if you stop using it, the spring will unload and stop ticking after awhile. In the case of the Seiko 5, it's about 48 to 60 hours. I put mine on pretty much everyday so no issue there.

Good stuff. I've been tempted for a while, but can't justify another watch quite yet. Incidentally (if it's not a competitor), would you be happy to share where you got yours from? That price sounds pretty good...Just bought one for £70
And I've just noticed the OP's name - they have no excuse for going for any other watch.
