For the man looking for a new wristwatch, there are literally hundreds of options and prices available. From the humble Timex and Casio, either of which can be had for less than ten dollars each, to the Cartier Phoenix and Piaget's Emperador, both of which are almost three million dollars apiece, the modern watch is a symbol of a man's success. Often it is the only piece of jewelry the man wears. Of course none of those come anywhere near the price of the world's most expensive watch, the Moinet Meteoris, which retails for over four and a half million dollars.
Of course it all depends upon the situation for which the wristwatch is called. Most men have more than one watch. Even if you have enough money to spend several million dollars you certainly wouldn't want to wear it with your jeans and tee shirt while you played a quick came of free throw with your friends on the local court. Neither would you want to wear the Casio with that

expensive Italian suit as you went to that six figure salary job interview. You would look as out of place as you would if you were wearing the running shoes from your basketball game!
Then again extremely expensive doesn't mean the best features or the most reliable watch either. For instance the Moinet offers various jewels and an alligator strap and the movement is precise, as it should be for that price. Yet the Timex Camper can be had at Amazon for about twenty bucks and made of durable plastic with a one year warranty. You have to ask yourself what you need it for. Simple telling time they all do. Do you need date and day, chronograph, stopwatch function, and should it be waterproof? Should it be backlit and do you want battery or self winding?
For the dressy occasions like the aforementioned interview, watches in the five hundred to 00 range would be affordable for the majority of the population. That narrows the field but there are still many in that range. Swiss watchmaker Tissot has been in business for 150 years and also made the eighties fad the Swatch. Their Seastar 1000 fits into that array with the superb quality and workmanship the company is known for. Let us just say the Tissot Seastar is a bit more dignified and refined than the Swatch ever was. For a retail price of around 5 you will be getting an excellent watch from a legendary company.
The Tissot Seastar 1000 originally started as a cheaper waterproof watch in the sixties and evolved into what it is. The modern version is still guaranteed water resistant to 1000 feet but would look equally well at the conference table. It has a sapphire crystal with automatic movement. The case is a heavy stainless steel, and the band can be either rubber or stainless, with a standard chronograph. To make your watch unique to your personal tastes, the dial comes in several colors, and the finish can be had in either black or blue. The warranty is 24 months. For a wristwatch that will deliver years of unparalleled performance the Seastar is an outstanding value.
