What watch do you wear?

Perhaps you chaps here would be able to help me.
I have what I consider to be my 'dressy' watch, that I wear to meetings, dinner, events, cocktail evenings etc.
And I've been using a Nixon 'The Player' as my everyday/beater/Icouldn'tcarelessaboutthiswatch watch;
However, I'm wanting to replace it with something less metallic and more relaxed... Brown/beige, leather strap, subtle face. Ideally it would be good at taking a few scuffs, doesn't need to be too flashy, and generally be a good, classic design. For reference, I'm 24 - so something still relatively young, but that I could keep with me for a while.
Any ideas?

Budget?
I'm open to suggestions really. As it's just an everyday, cheap but classic would be good. I'd had Timex recommended, though they were a bit too cheap (and looked it).
Edit: I've been swayed by a couple of cheaper options, as I love the idea of really not caring if I bash it around. Here's a couple... http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/24PTM20NBT3LI
I also quite enjoyed the Nixon Sentry http://uk.nixon.com/mens/watches/the-sentry-leather-A105.html?sku=A1051388-00
As I said... I've already got my fancy watch, don't judge me for picking a cheap daily!

I've been rocking one of these simple casio watches. Under £6 and a nice size for my small wrists. Still saving up for one of the nice ones people have been posting, just gonna take a while!
Push it in?
With the force I've been using I feel I've dislocated my thumb
Hats off to people that do this everydayNot from where I'm sitting
Getting the strap to sit in the lugs is easy

I've been trying for about 20 minutes still, it's like the hole it needs to go through gets smaller
This should get interesting.
Grabs popcorn. 
have a look at the GC collection, some extremely good watches with limited editions, i.e. Rare to find in the UK.. and below £500
This is ridiculous now, I'm so close to giving it to a family friend who works at some watch place
It would be a wise move.
