Hello All,

This is my first post on these forums toon1.gif,  I stumbled upon this sight after looking for suggestions on a new watch.  I am officially a watch novice with little to know knowledge on the topic of watches (e.g. quality, features, technology etc). The last watch I had was a Kenneth Cole watch.  Nothing fancy, metal bracelet with a light blue face which has suddently gone AWOL.  I thought now would be a good time to replace it. 

As watches can tell a lot about a person (well in my opinion)  I wanted to make an informed decision.  I do not have a large amount to spend on this purchase as I usually spend quite a bit on techical gear (computers, phones etc).  I would like to hit around the $250 range from something practical with a good reputation and still not seem like i'm digging the bottom of the barrel in regards to my selection.   I would prefer a metal bracelet and not leather (I have a casual leather one at home). Basically an all around watch for work and maybe some personal outings.

Out of a dire need for a watch I " rambo'd" into a store and picked up the timex automatic watch witht he black face.  I've heard varied reviews about this watch and they all seem to fit.  If it is basically a beater watch than I would probably look into getting it exchanged for a different one.  From personal wear the dial for the watch is quiet large as is the face itself.  while wearing it for the whole day I actually have a bit of a mark on my hand from the dial after typing.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks...
