Step2steve, that's very nice. Where from?

I bought it from Argos. The price has gone up slightly now but is still a reasonable £44.99.

The build quality is great and feels comfortable to wear, very nice looking watch am chuffed with it. Would go as to say it looks even nicer IRL than the photos above.

I picked up this for £39.99 in a sale today. Thoroughly impressed by it! What a smart/sexy watch for the money.

Tag Heuer's lawyers must love that one

I'm a sucker for the red/black/silver colour schemes

Is accurist a decent make?

worth what they cost basically, at that price buy what you like the look of, quality is similar across other similarly priced brands and they will all be reliable but disposable

Cheers. Reliable but disposable is all I can get now I have a little one who wants to know what everything is

I need a nice looking day-to-day watch I won't mind her trashing too much.

lol

Not being a watch buff myself.. I am guessing Accurist borrowed a Tag Heuer's design slightly?

slightly

I've often wondered, do people like Tag and Rolex ever actually take action to stop other companies copying their designs? I assume not as every single watch maker (it seems) has a Rolex Sub clone in their line-up......and they are often absolutely identical apart from the logo.

Edrof · 2 Mar 2011 at 20:00

I actually think the Accurist looks better

Anyone know of decent looking radio controlled watches @ reasonable prices?

Casio are probably one of the best known producers of 'Radio controlled' watches.

Citizen, Skagen and Junghans (expensive though and they were the first to bring Radio synchronised watches to the market.),

I have also wondered this, some companies even advertise the similarities.

A Subaru Prodrive watch exactly like this besides having quite a lot of scratches:

I also have a Ben Sherman one like this as a backup/for looking my best even though it was still a cheap watch

I got that as a general wear watch (but not work) for christmas - for the money it is fantastic quality and definitely "feels" more expensive in the flesh.

I agree! Going from the photo of the Tag the Accurist looks much better

.. how much does that Tag cost?

It is a nice watch isn't it there is real quality there which is surprising from such a relatively low cost watch. I also won't be wearing it for work but plan to wear it for everything else.

Normally wear a midsize Seamaster as I have skinny wrists but I have just picked up a Panerai PAM320. Sorry about the rubbish photos
