I'm in need of a new watch and the Citizen Eco is coming up in the Amazon Black Friday deal in a few minutes. Is it any good as a watch?

Hi guys,
I'm looking for an everyday work watch (work in an office, shirt, trousers and shoes dress code).
What do you think of these 2 watches ( the Skagen in 3 different colour configurations)?
Citizen eco-drive
Black dial / black strap

Skagen Slim watch
White dial / brown strap

Or any other options for an everyday watch for under £100?

The eco drive watches seem to have a good reputation on the watch forums.
If it was my preference I would go with the eco watch, as no batteries to replace, as an alternative, have a look at Seiko solar watches on amazon, again no battery to replace.

I'm thinking of buying this;
Does anyone know why I shouldn't or have any additional info on it?
Cheers.

That's when I thought when I saw it yesterday, looked at the other brands but this tips it for me (for the price).
yes, very

What does it retail at?
Seiko 5 is worth a look if that's the budget - plenty of variations and its a mechanical watch.

5.5k NZD so about 2.75GBP

So far out of my budget range I won't even consider it

Ok guys, further to my post above.
Where is the best place to buy USED watches? I know Blowers but is well over-priced. What about watches.co.uk? Any others?
Thanks all

Lovely Longines. All I will add is that the strap on mine which is the same as the above did not wear well. The retaining loops both broke after 6 months. Longines replaced the strap free of charge and I've been a little more gentle with this one and it looks like new so I may have just been a little unlucky. A replacement OEM strap is almost £200!
