Hepl me in Buying a WRIST WATCH

[hayabusa_ryu]

Hey guys, I m planning to buy a wrist watch for myself. My budget is approx. 5000/-. Which brand/ model will suit me? My age is of 20 years. How about Timex Retrograde or SLX? Any other ideas?

Waiting for reply...................
Thanx

Can u give me 2k from 5k :D may be we both will able to buy a watch :D

I'd suggest Casio Chronograph MTP4500D-1A. Dunno how much It costs in India. I wanted to get this one, instead I got Casio Edifice Bracelet hoping the thermometer would be cool. But the stupid thermometer gets heated up with body heat n shows wrong temperature... :mad:

Fast Track. Really Cool watches...... Get the new neon disc thing...

[drgrudge]

I have a Swatch. You'll get Swatch for 5k but they won't look good, IMO. Swatch starts from 4k here, afaik.

The best option is to go for Casio or Titan (if you want formal look).

i bought this 1 last year for 2.5k actually knew the shop keeper so he gave me a back dated bill reducing the cost by 2k

looks cool ... black and chrome ana-digi

[hayabusa_ryu]

Thanks guyz,


@UTSAV, Can't afford Rolex man. They r higher priced.

@NISH, I don't like gold plated watch (these r generally worn by upper age people, I want a watch for my age group) nor fastrack for their so funky looks. I like simple design watches with decent/eye candy look with chronograph just like TIMEX Retrograde. Have u seen Timex SLX or Retrograde?

@ SAURABH, Sorry brother I can't do this. :D. Like u I also have dream of wearing ROLEX watch in my wrist but...........

[nish_higher]

man i was asking abt analog\digital.anyways that timex that imav wears looks great.
@ amitava plz tell the prices of those beauties :)
swatch chrono would not look that cool but they are good watches.check their webpage

[hayabusa_ryu]

Thanx friends for ur advices.

@NISH, I like analog watches.

@Amitava, Yes These kinds of watches I m looking for. Now I m going to search for their latest version.

@DRUDGE, Exactly what I wanted to say about SWATCH (within my price range).

[enticer86]

Well I have a Swatch Irony chrono- got it for 5k or so but its really worth it. It has a semi-formal look too.

[amitava82]

Both the watches costs around $55.. May be costs little more in India but definitely within your range..

[nishantv2003]

I Think the best thing u can go for in 5k range is Titan EDGE....
I have one and its reallly cool in its own distinct way...

Rolex for 5k. Its shocking. Utsav, can you specify the model no plz.

Hayabosa, keep your eye open and try to avail some discounts. You might end up with a much better watch that way.

[iamtheone]

i too got a swatch...its a chrono with a black dial and a full aluminium body....tis got a stretchable aluminium band wih a lock as well,no screws at all...there's not even a single opening at the back too....the battery fits in from the outside itself....its pretty cool IMO....and it looks equally good over a pair of khakhis as it does over some rugged jeans...it costed me about 5.5k...dunno the exact model number though....came in a cool leather box too....

Do look for FastTrack before making a decision. They are offering 30% Flat off currently..!

[karnivore]

A whole thread to decide which wrist watch.........talk about indecision. I can very well see the next thread.

"Help me buying an UNDIE"

sheeeesh............

[hayabusa_ryu]

hey karnivore that's not the matter!!!
Earlier I bought some goods then I was cheated so some friends of this forum suggested to take advice before buying.
Your word can be true if I were buying some lower price watches (<1000-2000) but I m investing my saved amount and rupees 5000 make presence for person like me. I told my brother to bring CASIO EDIFICE (4 dial-black). See what he brings. With the help of replies and suggestions in this thread I went for CASIO EDIFICE which is much better than Timex Retrograde.
Thanx friends for ur suggestions and helps.
