Overall, it's got to be the Omega Speedmaster Professional. It looks understated and classy, is comfortable to wear, very reliable, and just has so much history behind it. It's affordable enough that you don't have to steal from the kids' college fund, and respectable enough that even the snobbiest of watch snobs would not mind being spotted wearing one. Omega also has an automatic co-axial version that's highly interesting from a technical...

Some people are "automatic" snobs.....myself included....somewhat. I do own a couple quartz watches (but 11 autos). That being said I jumped on this deal!! (P.S. I also have a 6.5" wrist but this watch wears small for it's massive specs.

Depends on why you want an automatic. I personally like automatics (and some hybrids) due to the smooth sweep of the seconds hand and the fact that you don't have to replace a battery. This watch has a sweeping seconds hand as smooth or smoother than basically any automatic you'll find under $10k. (Barring some nice Seiko hybrids)

Quartz watches (and some hybrids) have much better accuracy than automatics, and that accuracy is constant for the...

This is not really a true diver watch, it is a diver styled watch, 100m is good for swimming and perhaps snorkel, but anything more and you need a real diver watch rated at least 200m or more and has clearly marked on the face DIVER.
This new drop is closer to being a divers watch, at 200m but still is not a certified diver watch.

Here’s another old watch from my small collection. Todays wrist-check is a mid 1980’s Seiko 5 Automatic. Another watch I bought for only a few dollars. It needed a bit of cleaning and a fresh band but I found it working well after a mild cle...

Could always look into the Ladies Seiko 5 line as well.  My wife has a SYMC21 that she fancies quite a bit. It's a 24mm auto day/date with mineral crystal. She's had it for almost 5 years, solid little watch, it's been hiking, snorkeling, and shallow water dives, hasn't missed a beat. She doesn't wear watches or bracelets daily exactly, but when she goes for a watch it seems to usually be the 5 (And she has an eclectic little collection)

I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news but every brand out there (exception to in house $$$ watches like Patek, AP, Rolex, GS, other "in house" movements) is built in china. China makes what? 98% of all watch parts in the world? 'Swiss Made' doesnt mean anything anymore. My Citizen eco drive counts better time and has better fit and finish than my 'Swiss Made' Victorinox.

Enough snooping around on this site and you can find several links that...

Todays wrist-check is my Seiko 5 Automatic SNK809 (black dial). This SKN809 was a sudden purchase with plans to remove the included all black canvas strap and use it on my other Seiko 5 Automatic, the SNK803 with beige dial. I made the swap ...

Testing is done in a quiet water tank with pressure being gradually increased to 100m. No water rushing around the watch like there would be when scuba diving. This watch is designed for swimming, some light snorkeling, and a shower. 30m-50m is designed for wearing in the rain, and not a monsoon either. For diving, 200m is where it's at.
