Over priced watches with a cheapy Chinese Quartz movement.

Get a Seiko if you want a good value for money watch with an automatic movement. Could consider a Tissot too?

Tissot T-Touch if you want cool gadgets
http://www.tissot.ch/?collections

As said above you can't go wrong with something like
a Seiko Orange Monster.

You don't say what your budget is.

Sounds like he wants something from the late 90's tbh. Like one of those Casios with the calculator or a tv remote built in.

Casio G Shock.

I do like my watches and have a few Omega, but that's not what you're looking for, so go with something practical and robust.

Casio G shock is a good call if you want features. Not much else comes close for the money. (Your Omega ownership status is noted )

I've got the PRC-200 and with the leather strap it makes quite a nice casual/work watch (that and its cheap enough you don't care if it gets damaged). Not entirely sure it's the sorta thing the OP is after though.

Seen a few people on watchuseek.com with this one:

http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/OC...tary-,477.html

Looks very nice IMO and I love that vintage look. It's got a swiss movement and sapphire glass too.

No I like the design. I also have a tissot watch and wait for it ... A Casio edifice which is excellent.

They all tell the time with no problems at all

Chavtastic as long as you like them that's all that matters.

I'm a Raymond Weil man myself, I don't like big watches.
