I'm a teenager, studying in college. I think I need a watch for myself. My budget is RM500. I would like to have an analogue watch because they some what feel retro-ish.

Bro, G-shock hardly got analogue watch. Plus, it ain't that classy. I want something retro-ish. A couple months back, I found one nice espirit but sadly, the seconds calibration wasn't accurate. Let's say when it's 50 seconds, it isn't pointing accurately. It's kind of a heart ache to buy a watch that isn't accurate.

Most of the quartz are the same.

Really? Ugh, that sucks. So in order for me to get an 'accurate' watch, it'll cost a lot?

Seiko, Orient?

I think Seiko and Orient are out my budget.

Something like this but prefer number more than roman numerals.

Let's say when it's the seconds needle should be pointing at the 50th second, the needle sasau. The needle pointed a big more, like 50.4.

And I think I prefer leather because it looks classier. These metal ones will make me look mature. My wrist is small so these metal ones wouldn't be so nice on my wrist.

Is Timex good? Which shopping centre should I go if I were to find a watch? Mid Valley or 1Utama?

Hmm, then I might consider getting a watch without the second needle.

What are your suggestions for leather watch? Thanks

Something like that must be out of my budget. I shall go 1Utama or MidValley soon, to search for my watch.
I know RM500 is a tight budget but I'm only a student. No choice lo.
