Just get a functional rubber watch. I once had a salesman sell me a Seiko and he said it would change my life. He was wrong.

I used to have a Tag Heur Formula 1 that I really liked. Was nice looking, comfortable and functional.

oh for fu.. a watch you wear with your suit is never a digital watch.

It's a discrete conservative watch.. Something like these:

http://www.omegawatches.com/gents/seamaster

Omega is a good brand and not horribly expensive, if you're going with a suit I would recommend something with a black leather band.

Never ever buy something flashy with stones and lots of gold and crap, only morons do that.

edit: nevermind just remembered that my Breitling is about as pricey as Omega, but that's the style you should be looking at something comfortable and conservative leather or steel.

I like digital watches because my eyes are now a bit fuzzy from old age and when stressed like on a date I might actually misread the hands of a regular watch. A digital watch with a backlight is pretty much dummy proof and perfect for me.

if your budget is low to medium range, check out Nixon:

http://www.nixonnow.com/mens-watches/

or if it's more on the medium range, check out Xetum:

http://www.xetum.com/

i've also been thinking about picking up a Welder, new line by the guy behind the u-boat brand:

http://www.welder.it/

if you want bold, that'll do the trick.

some especially good deals right now on some of their lower end models here: http://www.sharkstores.com/c-169-welder-watch-boutique.aspx
