I have been considering investing in a good watch. The problem is I don't have a history of owning watches,infact I hardly ever wear a watch and at present I don't own one and have not owned one for 10 years. I need to buy a really good watch,ignore the Rolex,Brietling Taghuer ......class,sijafika hapo,but give ideas about any other watch,and what I should look for. I have been looking at Sekonda,Accurists,Seiko,Swatch,etc. I've noticed the youth in particular coming in to a workplace with a completely outsized notion of their own value and importance... just a thinly-veiled arrogance. May be the credit crunch induced recession is whats needed to remind us all about the value of hard work....

does you phone have a clock?? if yes then that might be an un-necessary expense!! ama am the one who is not getting it right?? isnt the damn thing used for telling what time it is?? or it has some other use apart from being a load on you hand?? Na chunga mkono unaweza katwa pia!! If you have money that you expect to start using in five years,it now belongs in stocks. When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

@Obi
From your post you arent buying a watch to use,you are buying a watch for a statement coz if you have not owned one for 10 years,its really not for the use of it but for the style... if that be the case,then buy a good watch that will say it all silently. The good thing with good watches is that you wont need to invest in another one any time soon.
You can check the following which can suit your budget as they have wide ranges
Haurex Italy
Stuhrling
Citizen
Pulsar
etc
Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

TagHuer is too expensive. As Wendz put it,I want a watch that makes a statement,I probably will forget to wear it half the time,and I don't wan to buy another watch again,unless I have to move to the Rolex,Brietling etc class. I am willing to spend as much as 50K. So please lets not mention 3,500. I probably have an idea of the look I want,what I don't know is the fine prints,what makes a good watch. I've noticed the youth in particular coming in to a workplace with a completely outsized notion of their own value and importance... just a thinly-veiled arrogance. May be the credit crunch induced recession is whats needed to remind us all about the value of hard work....

@ Xtina. As to why I want a watch now,may be its a case of wanting a new toy. @sembe Tissot is a good brand as I have heard,What is it abt your Tissot,is it automatic etc details please.

@Obi
if thats your budget,check Movado (someone has in the office and they think its a great watch) or Swiss Army or something like that. - let me add that the dude is just crazy about watches! he just told me the price he bought it at and i think its just crazy!
by the way,do they stock some of these watches here in kenya?

Seiko Sports 150. Cost me 28K and I wear it only on very special occasions,otherwise my phone tells me the time. Make sure you take out insurance.

A silver CASIO WR 50M. Comes with a 10 year battery and the thing is not flashy so will not invite the muggers. Set you back around Kshs. 6,000.

Philip persio' has served me well for the last 4 years. About the cost it ranges. A likely impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing posibility. African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

@Wendz and GG Thanks,I will find out more about the watches you just mentioned. Infact I want a watch to use exactly as GG uses his,navaa nikienda function ya nguvu. Get it insured etc. I am also willing to spend quite some amount coz they are relatively cheap here compared to Kenya and right now I have seen many shops discounting their jewellery (including watches). There is the possibility that I could spend 50K and get something valued at 100K-150K By the way this guyz have to turnover stock every year (twice a year for clothes),hata kama wanapeana bure.
