I couldn't agree more. I like the styling of this one. It is discrete and function able. The band can be changed if you think it is too flashy.

3 and 4 are more dress than casual IMO, but can daily wear.

Those watches look great with jeans/khaki shorts and a polo. I'd say that's casual. Yes, you can definitely wear them with a dressier clothes, but I wouldn't limit them to a dressy watch. Nothing about any of those watches really stands out as something that I love, but they all kind of have the style that I like. Granted, that's kind of the style, very subtle (at least compared to something like a Breitling)

"Meh" in what regards?

Which one is your favorite?

Also look into Orient Star.

Enough with the jokes. I like the Seiko. It looks very classic. That would be the one I would get.

I need something a bit less formal.
3L in law school, if that helps.

I like the Seiko a lot.
I like them all, actually.
The Seiko is classic cool, you know?

That is a sharp looking watch.

Typically watches with Roman numerals are dress watches. You can wear it with jeans, you can also wear a Gshock with slacks and button down but I would not.
To each thier own.

If you are really never going to wear it in a dressy situation, the Seiko looks the best (I like the cream color as opposed to white). If you would kind of wear it everywhere, I like the Tissot as it's a little "less busy". Again, that's all off of looks. Don't know anything about the quality of the watches.

If you do find one you like, go to watchuseek and grab their discount code.
Posted on 10/8/15 at 8:06 am to BigPerm30
Oh man, that is sharp.
Posted on 10/8/15 at 8:07 am to Tornado Alley
Those designs. If I was looking for a $100 watch it would be Chinese, Russian or something similar. Parnis/Ticino (maybe too big), Rodina, Orient...I'd search ebay

Oh yeah, Orient stars are the "luxury" models. Orient is the normal ones that you could get to around 150 with discounts.
I am partial to fliegers. So the Flight would be a good choice.

That Rodina looks sharp but I don't think I could wear anything that boast on the face "China Made".
Posted on 10/8/15 at 8:32 am to Cdawg
Orient Vintage looks good too

my vote would be for the citizen II(AW0040-19X) but i would try to find some more info on it before you purchase OP
the jomasshop link you posted shows scratch resistant sapphire as the crystal material, which is pretty much the best you can get and is what you'd want but normally you only find that in $400+ watches
the amazon link for the same watch shows that the crystal material is actually mineral
i'm a little skeptical that it's actually sapphire and i wouldn't be surprised if jomasshop is fibbing a little on the specs, i've seen them do that before

Damn. I thought Joma was a respected vendor. Any other watch website recommendations?
