Timberland watches

[thrifty]

Hi I'm looking for a day to day work watch that would look ok in the pub a well! Tempted by the Timberland Arlington watch. Anyone had this watch or any experience of timberland watches?

I find brands that branch out into watches don't make very nice watches. They should stick to what they know.

You could get a nice citizen eco drive for a little more

I know what you mean but my day to day work means I'm often upto my elbows in grease and oil!

I agree with Al that I'd rather have a watch made by a watch company.

Timberland watches are a joke. Your basically paying way over the odds for watch made in China for a tenner. Much better to get a watch made by a watch company like Citizen, Seiko. If you want a bomb proof watch go for a Casio G Shock.

I agree 100%.

G Shock is a great choice if you want rugged.

Cheers. Think this might be the route i take. The eco drive watches do look lovely. But i reckon they'd last a week in my job.

If that's the case the Timberland would only last 10 minutes!

I've a solar powered g-shock thats radio controlled too. Goes everywhere with me and time is always exact. Only complaint is it's a little chunky for wearing with a suit and tie.

Another watch with near indistructable properties is the beautifully made Inox by Victorinox

Aye lovely watches...but 400 quid for work is a bit too much!

I've decided g shock!
