    Hi everyone. I'm looking for a nice, yet affordable watch to get my girlfriend for Christmas. I'm looking for something with the following:

    -Stainless band and face (no gold, just stainless)
    -Slim, rectangular face (preferably white, or "whitish")
    -Water resistant/proof
    -Price range of approximately $80 to $150

    I realize I won't find anything amazing for that price, but I'm working on a high school budget. I personally wear a Seiko Arctura, so I don't want to get her anything too cheap.

    I was thinking along the lines of Citizens, Bulova, Seiko, etc...

    I have looked all around on eBay, visited the local jewelry shops, but I just can't seem to find the perfect match. Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Seriously just get her a <$100 Fossil or something from Costco (Kenneth Cole?). Spending too much money on a girlfriend's watch in high school sounds like a bad move.

    I think Skagen makes some nice looking small square watches in that price range. I know Swiss Army has some like you describe but I think they are around $200 in stores but check ebay I've seen some things go for a lot less than retail on there new in the box.

    I'd agree with Swiss Army. Nice watch for the price. You can usually get them on the 'net for about 40% off of retail. Check www.wengerna.com for the latest models. The Skaagens are also cool. Ike and I think alike.

    My opinion is that the ESQ watches give you the best bang for the buck. These are Swiss and made by Movado. They carry them at Costco for a fair price but I would check online vendors as well.
