Advice about watches
I decided to buy a watch, at this point in time I can’t afford a very expensive watch such as an omega (which is my fav) but I narrowed it down to a couple that I like. I have my heart set on the Armani right now unless someone can tell me otherwise. My budget is no more than $300.
So my questions are: What is the difference in quality of different companies? Armani vs Fossil Vs Seiko ? What should I look for when buying a watch? I know that the face should be scratch resistant, stainless steel metal, waterproof… these features seem to be standard in most $100+ watches. When buying a watch, does the price tag reflect mostly the name brand or does the quality you get change drastically? Keep in mind that I know almost nothing about this subject. I appreciate any advice from people who know watches. I want to buy it now so “save up for a better watch” is not an option.

Armani is just the name, someone else makes it for them. Seiko makes a nice watch as well. Another good place to look for nice watches is a pawn shop. I know is sounds strange, but there are some nice watches there

Seiko FTW. I've had mine for nearly 6 years, now. Retail was $280 for a gorgeous Chronograph. Got mine for $180, authentic. Just good timing, whole bunch of deals & discounts stacked on top of each other. I love it.

do you want the watch or the name? A Rolex is nice and will last forever, so will Seiko and Bulova, it just tells time. You would think my watch is $3000 from the way it shines and look

You live in socal. Go to the jewelry district and hook it up. You will save anywhere from 40-60% off retail. Trust me...don't bother with retail outlets or even mail order. If you pay cash, you get an even better deal.

I've had good experience with www.bluedial.com. I am a fan of Seiko myself (and Tag) and this website you can actually get better deals on than I got when I was in the Carribean on a previous watch.

tissot's are well made but might be just out of your price range. Also depends if you are looking for a well made watch or more of a stylish time piece. Tissot's offer both but can be low in price to over $1200.
