Personally, I'd suggest anything with Swiss movement. If you don't want to drop money for a Rolex, Tag Heuer, Raymond Weil, I'd suggest a lower-end, but excellent Swiss such as Bulova or Movado or even one of the Japanese movement companies, such as Seiko or Citizen. When it comes to watches, you're seeking accuracy in keeping time, durability and aesthetics. The Swiss deliver all 3 and the Japanese are also a hard act to follow. None of these designer watches by Guess or Armani are not going to hold up. They will stop working or the color will fade away.
