I'm looking to purchase my first nice watch and i'm hoping to get one in Titanium. I'm looking for something less than $200, but something under $150 is ideal. I don't want something too dressy looking, but not something really tactical looking either, just an everyday watch that I don't have to worry about too much. Now, the thing is, my wrists are rather small, so something huge probably isn't going to look right. The problem is it's so hard to guage size when browsing on the internet. Thanks in advance!

Just received that exact model last week for $100 shipped. Real nice piece! It was my first entry into better timepieces...now I've got a growing list that I want to get my hands on. And I thought knife collecting was expensive!

Ok, i've narrowed it down to a couple, any opinions on these models would be appreciated:
Seiko SNA141 http://www.skywatches.com.sg/watches/product_info.php?products_id=313
Citizen 180 http://www.princetonwatches.com/shop/BM8280-50L.asp

Now, the breaker is, will I be able to install a zulu band on the Citizen? I don't care for metal bands at all.
The Seiko Orange monster is growing on me as well even though it's not titanium.

I have the Seiko SNA141. It's a pretty neat, little watch. It has a very comfortable band and the watch itself sits very low on your wrist so wearing it under long sleeves is no problem. The lume on the dial is pretty weak compared to other Seiko's I own but it's not too bad. Mine loses about 5 seconds a week which is about average I guess. Overall I really enjoy mine.

I just found the Seiko SNA139, which is the same as the watch above but has a black bezel which I highly prefer, however, it has a metal band,which I don't like at all. How hard is to to swap a metal Seiko band with a zulu band?

I have had the Citizen Titanium EcoDrive solar powered watch for the past 6 years and has NEVER lost a beat... and only gets out of time by a couple of seconds a month or 2... can't seem to find a decent pic...

I just received my Tissot T-Touch Titanium (http://www.tissot.ch/?mod_collection/colid_0003/famid_0001/subid_0003/refid_T33_7_588_41/action_select) that I won on Ebay. I've had their Silen-T for the last few years, and I'm really impressed with the brand. :D

Timecacher: That is a great looking watch. I really like it. Is that watch of yours automatic or is it a battery?
