I have been looking at several different watches but this is the one that really stands out to me, looks but also price. This would be my first "nice" watch. I had a stupid Samsung smartwatch but I didn't like being attached to my phone so I bought a g-shock ga100-mb-1a. I like not being tethered to my phone with the gshock and have wanted a nicer watch for a bit. Please let me know what you think or if you think there is a better option. Only finishing up high school so I do not really want to go above 200usd.

It's nice just be aware it's a very large watch at 45mm

This.

If this was 40-41mm with sapphire I would have already bought it.

Hello!

I'm probably rehashing what others have said but my 2¢ in a nutshell:

If you like that watch, you want to own it, and it's in your price range, get it. :)
in my opinion, that is a nice watch. So, I agree with you and we have at the very least, some overlap in watch preferences. :)
That being said, what constitutes a nice watch is such a subjective thing. You'll hear this a lot from others, but screw what others think. You do you.
citizen eco drive are a solid, popular watch line, also they are also not too hard on the wallet. It's a solid solar powered quartz that you can just grab and go at any time. Can't go wrong with it.

I have the Promaster Skyhawk from Citizen now since 2015.

It's a daily for me and I work in a very physical job. I have a bit of wear but the thing is bullet proof.

Eco drive is amazing too, most cheaper battery watches I bought had maybe 2-3 years on them before dying. Eco drive just keeps going.
