I like the basic lineup in Citizen's Eco-Drive series. Lots of models to choose from and very well made and never need batteries! I have had Citizen watches for almost 2 decades and never a issue. I think you would be able to find one to fit your lifestyle and taste easily under $150. Here is a link to one retailer that has it for $99! Now I am not connected nor affiliated with Joma......it is just a link to give you an idea what this one model which is a nice wearing whether casual or dress can be had for, http://www.jomashop.com/citizen-eco...1wmEwhPARJbh2yJBM0Hc1JzG2ruw_EGWlyBoCeqTw_wcB
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. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...rds=nixon+watches+men&sprefix=Nixon+w,aps,225
