Hello there Teamspeeders!

I'm a 17 year old high-school student, looking to get my first "real" watch. I have a budget of maximum $850.
What would you guys recommend?

Right now I am really close to picking up this new Calvin Klein model for around $500.



Apparently it is Swiss Made by Swatch, I'm not sure of the quality, but I tried it a couple of weeks ago and it felt really nice. I really like it, the clean styling suits me perfectly. Would you guys consider the CK a good choice, or am I better off with something else?

I have already checked Steinhart, Seiko, Fossil, Tissot and so on, but the CK is still my favorite.

Thanks in advance!

 

Why buy a watch made by Swatch for $500, when you can get the best Swatch for $100-130

 

Check out our sponsor lum tec. That have some awesome watches in that range. Email chris and you will get a reply almost immediately.

 

For $700 I would buy this...



Or go Lum-Tec M8

 

Agreed LumTec or Nixon > CK

 

Look at Hamilton and Citizen in addition to the others mentioned. Get a watch from a watch manufacturer, don't pay for that kind of money for a clothing manufacturer's re-branded watch.

 

I agree, how about a Tag, that was my first watch

 

Perhaps a seiko skx007 or a citizen Nighthawk. Two of my favorite entry level watches that can hang with the best of them.

Many of the clothing manufacturers go through Fossil, fyi.

Done deal right there.

 

That lum-tec case looks very Panerai-ish..
