Hi All,



It was recently my birthday and I got given some money, and have been deciding on what to spend it on, was thinking a watch would be a nice piece just for sentimental value, rather than spending it on clothes or the car



I really like Tag watches, however I just can't justify the price tag, I dont wear watches, and haven't done all my life, but i reckon I could get used to it without having to check my phone all the time.



I dont like metal straps, much prefer a brown leather one, a face that looks pretty sturdy, but I have small wrists so the oversized TW steel ones would look silly, however thats the style which I like.



What suggestions are there? budget of roughly £150?
 
I did put £150, but reading a few other forums Im a member of Id need to at least double that and aim for quality like a Tissot?

Really like the style of TW steel - I don't want to buy a fashion watch either, I want it to look nice as I'll be spending birthday money on it - OK its not Breitling territory lol but any brands for 1/10th of the price? lol
 
wow, it seems like there is a bit of a discussion going on in terms of going for a quartz or going for something with a mechanical movement, i merely suggested purchasing a watch from money I received for my birthday as i'll probably keep it forever unlike clothes and other items.

seems like my budget of £150 is too low to buy a watch with some sort of "show off value" and I need to be spending in the region of £800-£1000 for a brand such as ORIS which seems not to be mentioned in this thread, its all about Omega or Rolex...however Breitling? of course i'd like something like that but like some posters on here I cant justify the price tag, especially because I'm not a watch savvy person.

I guess I just want a watch, to look good, feel nice, have sort of prestige and perceived value. When looking at Seiko/Citizen I just picture Argos lol.

Are the likes of TW steel have a sign of quality? I have seen Christopher ward, however Im not keen on buying watches online.
