  Only used these guys once, but INCREDIBLE service and price. If I buy a watch again, I wouldn't look anywhere else.

    Seiko & Citizen are great quality watches, Casio has some nice value watches also and the G-Shocks are great if you like that style.
    I am not really a fan of TW Steel, it's more of a fashion watch.
    Lots of ozbargainers have bought Citizen Eco-Drives from Starbuy and they get great feedback on here, see past deals
    As for the type or style, that's entirely up to you.

        No worries, the main advantage with Eco-Drives is that you won't have to do anything to them for 10 years or more.
        If you have a particular style that you like & budget, let me know & I can post some links up.

        @28Degrees: Thanks, so the Eco Drive glass face is hard to scratch? I tend to accidentally bump it against stuff. My budget is up to ~$200, I like the silver style with the dial/face not too busy, either steel bracelet or leather band e.g. I like the look of the Eco Drive AW0090-55E http://www.starbuy.com.au/citizen-mens-eco-drive-stainless-s… . Also I'm skinny with a small wrist so smaller dial size is better.

        Edit: forgot to mention I need date function and preferably day and 24hr but not essential. Smaller and lighter is better.

        That's a nice watch and you won't regret buying it. The SS bracelets are also very nice quality on the Citizens.
        I haven't scratched my Eco-Drive yet, but I am careful with it, so I can't say if it will scratch easily.
        My favourite watch is the classic Seiko SKX007K1 Automatic. I found it at Watchcode for $219.69 delivered
        It has a clean face, day/date, SS bracelet and will look fine on a smaller wrist but is still is decent size.

        Another great Seiko watch for smaller wrists is the Seiko 5 Automatic SNK809K1 - $74.46
        & the larger Seiko 5 Automatic SNZG13K - $142.16

  Hi
  I am looking for sapphire glass as I often scratch my watch at work. I prefer Titanium as it will be lighter. I need date and day functions.
  Do you know is there any good deal for watches fit in these criteria?
  Thanks

    WatchNerd on 30/07/2016 - 15:30

    No I haven't done much research into those watches, but if you click on the link in my description to "Citizen Mens Page" you will see some Titanium Eco-Drives with saphire glass.

    If you're afraid of scratches, be aware that titanium scratches far more easily than steel

      Thanks for the info, handy to know that

      I didn't know that.

  Uh good store.
  Lucky nothing interesting for me this time, or simply too expensive for my wallet.

  otherwise will buy again! Haha

  Ever since I bought a Samsung smartwatch, I no longer wear my Citizen Eco Drive watches. It's too heavy and can't answer calls or receive messages.

        I'm still rocking a 3 year old seiko automatic divers watch. its been swimming with me at least 2 or 3 times.

        so yeah no one wearing analogue watches anymore? your comment is a tad off.

        Nice choice, what model do you have? It should last about another 20 years or more before you need a service, from what I have read in online forums.
