    I have been looking at several different watches but this is the one that really stands out to me, looks but also price. This would be my first “nice” watch. I had a stupid Samsung smartwatch but I didn’t like being attached to my phone so I bought a g-shock ga100-mb-1a. I like not being tethered to my phone with the gshock and have wanted a nicer watch for a bit. Please let me know what you think or if you think there is a better option. Only finishing up high school so I do not really want to go above 200usd.

    Obviously as a citizen, can’t go wrong with an eco drive like everyone mentioned. Just make sure you like the look and that the case size is comfortable for your wrist. Too big and you may not like it. Also, for this one, the date window is in a weird spot but suppose that’s not a deal breaker. You’ll be able to swap out straps to keep things fresh. Good luck!

    Citizen Eco drives are the best quartz watches for value on the market imo.

    Way too big, unless you have an 8" plus wrist.

    Edit: Most non-watch people would think that’s expensive, and almost none of my watches cost me that much.

    I have an eco drive with a perpetual calendar and I love it. My only beef with it is if it loses its charge, it is a humongous pain in my ass to set again lol. This will not be an issue with your pick thankfully.
