Meh. I like it very simple. And that watch offers good design and does not have any other shit on it.

Ridiculous bling-status symbol at that price. A normal $50-watch should be enough for anyone.

I hate non-functional art pieces like that.
Anyways, if you are looking at Seiko/Citizen check out www.creationwatches.com. They are a gray market dealer. Seiko/Citizen offer a lot of stuff in the Japan/Korea market only that are really badass. The 7S36 movement is quite accurate and highly durable given the cost of the watches. Not as elegant as the ETA-2824, but it costs a 1/10th of the price.
The SKX007 on a Zulu/Nato strap is one of Seiko's most popular automatics, and for good reason.

Decent looking watch.
Not a Fossil fan myself, but their quartz chronos are decent for the price. I'm more of a fan of Seiko/Citizen in that price range due to the fact that everything is made in house. From the casing, to the movement.

Don't want to sound racist but you mean those black/hispanics that wear such a big fucking watches and still cant tell the fucking time when asked as I see on the subway...GREAT
Anyhow, I found one for 150$

but that site looks shaaady
I don't think it's good idea to buy a watch online unless I first put them on my hand and see how they feel. But in-stores they only have limited amounts on the display.
When I tried that Citizen Stiletto it was perfect |

The watches you see mexicans wearing are usually 50mm monsters.
A 38mm-42mm is the 'right' size for most men. A 31~mm is going to look gay, no matter what you do about it.
As for that watch, I think it looks like complete shit. It's a fashion watch. Nothing more. Fashion watches go out of style fast. If you buy a functional divers/aviators/navigators watch it will stand the test of time.

Guess is a fashion watch brand. I've seen a few OK things, but most of the stuff is just following trends that will look like shit after a couple of years.
If you want all around versatility, and real function - A divers watch (In classic form like a Rolex Submariner/Seiko Marinemaster/etc. Not a fashion divers watch.) won't dissapoint.

There was one guess watch that i absolutely loved! Bought two. Had them both for 8 years. It was simple. Heavy. And looked like a proper watch!

If you're going to buy a watch I suggest you go for a decent automatic watch instead of spending money on quarz based brands like fossil and stuff which probably won't last long. In my opinion a watch should be chosen for a lifetime. For some "cheap" automatics I suggest brands like:
Hamilton
Orient
Tissot
Seiko

Tag's are overpriced crap IMO. For the same price you can get much better from other brands. If you are looking at a particular style just let me know and I might be able to point out something else from other brands that would fit the need yet offer better quality for the money.

Thanks. Hamilton sells a fine watch for the money. Decent cases with domed sapphire crystal and ETA movement. Picked that the thing up brand new for $350, then spent some money (When he was still selling them) on the very nice MKII dial and hands. For the money it's an outstanding watch. The accuracy is +- 5 seconds a day right now, and after about a week it ends up only being +- 2 seconds. Incredible accuracy for a $350 automatic.
