··Sunburst dial fanI’m looking to buy a new under £300 automatic watch for casual wear - walking the dog, playing with children in a sandbox etc but not a diver. I find my SKX007 and SKX013 both too 'clunky'.
I’ve had a few setbacks recently with used watches, and thought I’d have a look at new watch. Given that it’s new, I’d save on service and parts.
I’m looking for a 36-38mm three hands, date or no date (but not day or sub dials) on a leather strap. It’s not for 24 hour wear, but with a decent power reserve (and a winding crown) it’ll be ready and willing when I need it.
I quite like the look of these Baltic’s - they’re roughly what I’m looking for, albeit a little large at 38mm
I also quite like the look of the the Timex, but at 40mm, it’s a bit too wide for my wrist. That said the day/date is so subtle that I could live with it.
So, if anyone has any suggestions; mainline models or micro brands, I’d be very interested
