I recently picked up the Timex Weekender Brown Leather Strap T2N637KW (http://amzn.com/B004VR9ND8), but I find the ticking to be simply too loud. If I'm anywhere quiet, say, reading a book on a quiet afternoon, all I hear is TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. After googling around, this seems to be the biggest complaint people have about the Timex Weekender series. Otherwise, I love the brushed case, cream colored face, and overall rugged casual look of the watch, as well as the fact that its not enormous, since I have pretty small wrists. Also like that I can switch out the leather band for a NATO strap if I want. The price is obviously fantastic. So I'm looking for a good alternative that won't be so loud. I'm willing to spend at most $200.
What I've found:
Citizen Men's BM8180-03E Eco-Drive Canvas Strap Watch (http://amzn.com/B000EQS1JW)
Not crazy about the black face.
Seiko Silver Dial Chronograph Stainless Steel Mens Watch SNDC87P2 (http://amzn.com/B005KASXVI)
Case is on the large end for me, and not sure about band with/NATO strapability
Citizen Men's AT0200-05E Eco-Drive Chronograph Canvas Watch (http://amzn.com/B000EQR6H0)
Again the black face
Citizen Men's BL5250-02L Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Watch (http://amzn.com/B000EQS0WK)
Big, expensive, busy, and dark, but there's something cool about it.
Tissot Men's T17151632 T-Sport PRC200 Watch (http://amzn.com/B000B7MBHM)
Like the face, but at 15mm, band is too small to switch for NATO strap.
Victorinox Swiss Army Men's 241496 White Dial Chronograph Watch (http://amzn.com/B005FFHNE6)
Quite expensive, and black strap.
I seem to have picked a number of chronos, but I have a super simple Skagen that I LOVE. Also, I'm not sure about automatics. Seems like a pain to have to reset a watch if I don't wear it every day, plus the cases tend to be really thick, which I don't care for. Any suggestions out there?
