Ok guys, I'm looking for watch. I want it to be as simple (preferably white&black, silver accents accepted, brown strap tolerated) and casual as possible. I don't have more than $70 to spend, I want to buy it through the amazon, because i want the shop to have nice abroad shipping policy.
I don't know anything about watches (like what brands are worth my money etc).
I've already found two propositions:
Skagen Men's 433LSL1 from
http://www.amazon.com/Skagen-433LSL1-Brown-Leather-Watch/dp/B00024CDD6/ref=sr_1_4?s=watches&ie=U
TF8&qid=1303638407&sr=1-4
and Laurens Men's C014J901Y from
http://www.amazon.com/Laurens-Mens-C014J901Y-White-Watch/dp/B004JNJP32/ref=sr_1_6?s=watches&ie=U
TF8&qid=1303638764&sr=1-6

I need opinions on this two, and some more propositions.

Forget to add: clock on the pic is the Skagen. Seems to be a little bit too pretentious though.

I think the Laurens one looks better. Skagen is good.

Do you have skinny wrists? The watches you posted are very small and might not look right if your wrists aren't so small.

Seiko 5 is obligatory, probably the best value you can get for your price range.

Another things i forget to add: I prefer leather straps. Looks better to me.

I think my wrists are in the middle tier (17.5 cm). I don't know how big means big though. In fact I was afraid I will buy too big clock and will be looking ridiculous. I've tried my brothers 36 mm in diameter, and it looks fine.

Skagen watches are generally pretty thin too. It was one of the reasons I got mine. Though my 205LTXM (pictured) is probably 50% thicker than the one OP has linked to.

Conversely, my roommate is incredibly thin and wears watches with faces larger than his wrist. Shit looks ridiculous.

I don't like metal bracelets either, though that's not really a problem as you can always get the strap of your watch replaced

I don't know how big 17.5cm is (lol metric system) but I thing 40-42mm diameter goes well with my ~7.5 in wrist). But there are no rules for that really, wear a small watch if you think it looks right.

>tad bit
It's more than two times more expensive. It looks OK, but just a little bit in a hipster way, i wouldn't be able tu pull it out anyway.
