So go with this is the consensus?

£175 is perfect.

Will this be in any high street shops so I can have a look or do I need to order from Amazon?

Or only £130 from here

Is this a legit site? Worried I'll receive a knockoff.

Swatch is by far the largest in the market and the list of who they manufacture for is surprising
must be worth a look, if only for interest.

Luck lucky guy on any european beach £5 spend the other £195 on beer:) then buy a watch that works when you get home.

This, not off a Lucky Lucky guy though but from a crappy souvenier shop, got a *cough cough* Armani for 5 Euros in Crete 3 weeks ago, it's still working i'm chuffed to fuck
Fossil are cracking watches, had mine 8 years now, £145

I own a lovely skagen watch. These watches look great, feel great and are very well priced. Get one and you won't be disappointed.

Just picked up a Skagen watch a few weeks ago for £160. Can't speak for the reliability yet but i did a fair bit of looking and they are easily the best looking in this price range.

Never need batteries, had one for five years now and pretty bulletproof

What are they like for maintenance?

If it lasts 5+ years I'll be delighted.

Just take normal precautions (ie, take it off) when doing any work that could cause undue shock movements; hammering, using heavy duty power tools, intense wanki that sort of thing. You chose a decent make anyway; is it an automatic?

You have to take it off when wanking? What a waste of money. It will spend 60% of the time on my bedroom floor then.

What's the difference if it's an automatic or not?

This is my first watch by the way.

Automatic = no battery, and the motion of your hand/arm winds the watch.

Really? Is that a good or bad thing?
