And I need your help deciding which one to get. This is what I have right now:

I haven't had a problem with it until I dropped it yesterday. I was washing my hands in the bathroom and it dropped from the sink to the floor - nothing too major I thought. Except now it doesn't keep time well.

So Ive been looking online at watches, and have come up with some possibilities...

#1

These are kinda in the same style (different brand) as mine, except in Titanium

#2
galleryone-sandiego_1734_12199057

This one is Titanium too, but classier

#3

Kind of a mix between 1 and 2

#4

This one looks pretty slick...

This might be my favorite of the bunch...

Almost looks like a face :)


So...any strong preferences, or suggestions of your own? I'd like to keep the price under $150, but I want a watch that will last. I guess I could go back to the store and get my watch fixed (it's got a warranty on it), but I'm kinda in the mood for something new, plus I wouldn't mind a lighter watch, and titanium watches are quite light...

Fire away!
 
2 looks like it's jumping ahead...

How bout this:

More conventional band...

or this

Mesh band (looks like it would be a pain in the ass to clean, though...)
 
none of the watches have numbers that go all the way around...I hate watches with lines instead of numbers...they confuse me. :der: :lol:

get a Timex...it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' ...that way, next time you drop it, it wouldn't break :sexywink:
 
I want this watch :hyper: :drool:

#3 is the most expensive, but not by that much. I want an everyday watch, so #2 might be a little too classy to wear at work...but it's titanium so it should be able to take some abuse.
