    Looking for a watch: Thin, lightweight, and good-looking

    Hey, I initially posted about my search in the affordable watches forum, but someone suggested I post here, so here goes:

    I am essentially looking for a watch for everyday wear that I won't feel on wrist but of course still looks good (to me that means has a touch of color but not overly flamboyant).

    -under $300
    -40mm-38mm diameter (I am 5'6" so the oversized watches are too big on me)
    -5mm-9mm thickness
    -probably a leather/cloth/rubber strap (to keep lightweight)
    -under 75g at least - *lighter is better
    -has a little bit of color beyond just black and white
    -quartz
    -decent quality
    -dark face
    -round face

    Exclusions:
    -I generally seem to not really like Skagen or Citizen designs for whatever reason
    -I almost never like designs with arabic numerals (eg it can have at most a "12" at the top if anything)
    -No roman numerals


    If this had a round face and were the right dimensions, this would be good: Gard Uhren Ruhla - Produktkatalog 2011 - Detailansicht (Garde Sport-line 11110)
    If this were smaller and had some color (eg the second hand or a bit of the background), this would be good: Bulova (Bulova Precisionist 96B158)

    Thanks!

    Hi heb :). That is a nice watch at an attractive price, but a little plain for what I'm hoping to find right now. Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Here ya go. The Ultra-thin Mondaine Simply Elegant. Swiss made quartz. Sapphire crystal. Just 6 mm thick. Stainless steel case. Dial is the design of the Swiss rail clocks. They make a 41 mm version (gents) and a 36 mm version (ladies) that are identical and have identical unisex straps. The watch wears "big" because of the thin bezel. I have the 36 mm version (white face model on a stainless mesh band) and it is just about the perfect size for a dressy everyday watch. It is gorgeous. $250 to $300. The wrist shot is my 36mm version on my 6.75 inch wrist.
