    Default Need some ideas for a new watch

    I just lost my G-Shock so I need a new watch. Any ideas what I can get besides another G-Shock for the same price ($120-$150)? I have huge wrists so I prefer something a little wider in diameter.

    Thanks beyonders.

    For that price, you can't go wrong with a Citizen Eco-Drive diver...

    For a hundred, or so, more, I'd consider an automatic or kinetic Seiko.

    Thanks.

    However, I am looking for a digital movement, is there any brands that are well-known for that? I know that the Japanese do digitals the best but anything besides Casio, what others are there? I plan to buy in-store as well.

    For digital, you can't beat G-Shock. Just get another one.

    Diesel watches are almost always reasonably priced, and lots of digital.
    If you want something sick for a little more you should check out the spencer from Nixon

    My current one and only digital watch is a Nixon Outsider

    http://www.amazon.com/Nixon-Outsider...9121457&sr=8-1

    It's fairly big, and has a compass. I picked it up, because the black face on black strap was pretty different, you can barely tell time
    Someday we may need to activate the halo structure off Deerfoot and destroy the North East.

    i dont think you can call it a movement when nothing moves

    My views towards G-Shocks has been forever changed by this:
