Default What do you think of this watch?

Description: A classic style with a Rocawear-style revamp. With a stainless steel polished chain strap and case, 3-hand movement and date function, and Swarovski crystal at face plate. Comes in a black box with velvet pillow. Two-year limited warranty.
There's another site which sells it for $169 USD. Think its worth it?

$170 sounds ok, that's about the average price for the watches I buy. You can pick up some Hilfiger, Guess or Kenneth Cole watches around that price. I would recommend Costco to see some watches. My Guess was $90 there and the retail at Sears and The Bay is $180 for the exact same watch.

If you're looking for a quality watch like you said in your 2nd post, I reall don't think you would want to buy a Roca Wear watch. They make clothes, and crappy ones at that.

c'mon, if you're going to spend that much money on a watch, at least try to buy it from a Real Watch Company. don't bother with "Roca-Wear", whatever the hell that is...

Doesn't Timex make most of those watch brands?

It's nice looking, but I don't like the roman numerals on it, plus the three extra little dials inside detract from the watch IMHO.

Nice looking watch, but I am not sure if it's worth the money though.

If I was paying for that amount, I would get a kinetic watch. I love how you don't need to change batteries for many years.

I'd hit up some eBay for watches. Usually you can sift through the fakes and find a real good deal. I got a sweet one for like 35$, Lorus (by seiko) with steel band and all that jazz.

I don't think the watch looks right. You've got the roman numerals, which is a traditional looking style, juxtaposed with the modern high-polish silver links.
