To give an idea of the type of watch I like:

This Victorinox watch is a good example of what I’m looking for: leather straps, arabic numerals on all 12 numbers, and a date. But at $1,650, it’s way out of my price range (I’m hoping for around $100).

This Fossil watch also has a face that I like (and a good size—my wrist is a bit smaller than average), but the outlines of the numerals and the arrows make it a bit harder to read at a quick glance than I’d like, and I don’t really want a metallic band.

I like the gradient in this other Fossil, but I prefer arabic numerals, and a non-metallic band.

One more Fossil. The hue here is amazing, but I don’t want something that will sit high off my wrist—and the extra padding under the face will do that.

Okay, I lied, THIS is the last Fossil. I tried it on and it felt right (and the metal band isn’t that much of a problem because of the non-metallic accent—essentially, it’d be great if it had some blue in it.

Oh, and generally speaking I’d prefer a watch in the “men’s” or “unisex” sections, but feel free to surprise me.
