Careful, there are people on here who have watches where £50 quid wouldn't even cover the VAT on a new strap.

Personally, I prefer Sekondas.

Advice; never buy a watch that costs more than £100 to "clean & service"

(except for a proper watch, like a Patek Phillipe )

Dont like that accurist

I like watches but i'd have to have serious money to shell out over 1k for one
I certainly wouldnt go in debt for a watch anyway

but I quite like Police watches
make sure you get one that has a protector for the winder, otherwise they will break

I bought this for £35 on offer last year
does look better in the flesh

look for the offers

Damn they put the price up. It was £48 when I posted this. Wouldn't buy it for £79.99.

Looked ok! The Watch hut seem pretty good on prices too.

Mind you I got a £100 automatic Pulsar for £50 in an offer in The Times.

My £700 Longines lasts about 2 days before it stops.This one seems to go on forever unworn.And luminous bits so much brighter and last longer and its very accurate and I don't care if I lose it!!

Does go to show,the expensive watch argument doesn't always hold good!!

LOL !!

My £150 tracer is 100 times more accurate, usable, lighter and readable in the dark than my DayDate which sits in its box doing nothing (and displaying the wrong day, date and time mostly.

Accurist aren't a bad brand and for that price as an everyday watch it looks ok.
