The cheapo is a Kenneth Cole my wife bought me for my birthday. Probably about $100.

The nicer one is a TAG Steve McQueen Monaco I bought for me because I thought the square face was so cool. I have the all blue face.

Ironically, the KC watch is the one I wear most often and I like it every bit as much.

The TAG is fancy.

Titanium Tissot T675 - They don't make them anymore, but I got it on my mission since a member worked at the Swatch factory (which owns most high end watches such as Tissot) and got 40% off, so it was 'only' $200. Great watch though, I've had for 6.5 years and I still get compliments. Much better than the Rolex knockoff I bought from some Ethiopian dude in downtown Geneva.

I loved watches on my mission and enjoyed looking at the different kinds. My favorites were the Breitling watches, but I didn't have enough chest hair or a leather pilot's jacket.

It's a splurge, but not otherworldly.

I always wanted one nice watch. I was looking at breitling, as well, because I like the large faces, but ultimately I was drawn in by the square look. Kinda cool and different.

As i said before, I wear the KC way more often, though.

I do not imagine myself every buying another "nice" watch. I really wanted the experience more than anything. I am not into them enough to own multiple. If i were to spend, I would rather drop cash on something better than a watch.

Search for Tissot T675 doesn't turn up anything.

Is it a T670?

I wasn't referring to the cost. The square face and the colors are eye catching.

I like that. I prefer watches like that with white/off white faces.

Sort of. It is the same model, but when they released the retro watch, it came in a few colors. The one you show is the racing one. I didnt want some gas station logo on my watch, so I went with the all blue.

Here is a pic of me wearing it...

Oh, yes, thanks. Maybe you mean in a good way? either way, the shape is what nabbed me. It just looks really cool to have a square face. And the blue is pretty striking, esp when a bit of it pops out of your cuff while wearing a suit. usually gets a compliment here or there.

Traditionally, I have always liked white faced watches. My KC is white faced and I love it.

Dont get me wrong. I have nothing against black faced. Why, some of my favorite watches are black faced...
