Help me decide on a watch


Gatorade

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

Two things, one - thank you for the help with the computer questions the other day - ordered all my parts! Next thing on my list is was to get a nice looking watch for work. I narrowed down somethings I liked and I was curious what your opinions were.

- Things to note: Some obviously are cheaper then others so factor the cost ration in for your opinion as well with any details in your opinion. If you have any other suggestions for watches too im open, but I really like this brand.

- Budget was around $200 or under (For now).

 

Brand I like: Invicta

Gold:
1. 1270
Invicta 1270 - Originally $98.99, now $78.99.

You should have @ me, i have roughly around 10-12 high end watches. 

skip the gold it’s plated and it wear off very fast and turns the watch into shit. Also go for a more modern look, black is very popular or stick to a sliver/ black , silver/ blue, or silver/ silver.  

Also here is a very good brand some are very costly but it the quality you get is what you pay for. https://www.bulova.com/collections/mens-watches

Have had one of these watches for like 2 years now and honestly wear it with everything. Probably one of the nicest watches Ive had. 

I looked at some of the MVT watches, they looked nice - I was particular liking these two

I remember owning two gold Invictas a few years ago, the gold plating wears off pretty easy after a few months, in this case I’d go with #1 for the stainless steel 

You know I was wary of the same thing. I don't really expect the watch to last that long its more or less I just need something for now. Knowing me though I may end up banging it against something and scratching it off I guess right?

Stainless imo I don't trust gold plating.

Yeah I had the same feeling too, although I tried to find one's with atleast medium grade plating (18k) , again this is just a for now watch because I have some clients I have to visit

More of a Silver and Black man myself so the Invicta 22078 is my favorite

Yeah I was really digging that but I contemplated the one with the sapphire innards since its on sale for like 56 bucks less.

Didnt know you were a watch enthusist, pretty dope. As for the watches this is literally just a temporary thing for a few client meetings coming up. I had 200 dollars left over in my budget from clothes so I just threw that in for a watch for now. I do like https://www.bulova.com/collections/mens-watches/products/96b015 that one though.

why would you let asylum of all forums decide which watch u buy

Its a psychology thing, you give people a handful of choices when you know in your head which two you really want. You let them point out opinions and the more they match a certain one you can lean towards it  and you can also see how you feel. If everyone says to get A, and you go to buy A and feel regretful then you know you actually wanted B. You aren't necessarily following anyone but you are using them to figure out your own contemplation.

 

I do the same thing when I can't choose between something to eat, I flip a coin and whatever it lands on I go to buy that thing. If I feel regretful then I know the other choice is the right choice and im done.

I have one similar to that, the watches are great quality and have a great feel. They have prices for everyone and keep things looking sharpe and clean. I see you’re like myself and don’t like the leather wrist, I have two of them and hate the feel on my wrist.
