Looking to get a good starter watch

Seiko

 

Another vote for the Citizen Eco-Drive - I wear mine daily & as previously mentioned, it works with a tux or with a t-shirt & shorts. I get complimented on it regularly!

 

I have a lot of watches. I get many compliments on my Nixon watches and have been happy with the quality. They have a variety of styles and prices.
