A nicer classic-looking quartz?

@Spartan247 Is that a white dial? Mine looks a lot more silver. I still have all 3, but the 307 is on its way out due to being hard to read.

No it’s silver. Might just be the lighting or the color of the strap. I found that the all polished hands got lost a bit on the black and blue dials and could make those hard to read sometimes. I haven’t really had that problem as much with the 307. Plus I have other black and blue dials and this was my only silver, so that factored in as well. All of them are great for the price and what you get. Sapphire on a Seiko for $120? It can be done.

Okay, I didn't think I'd be posting this, but here goes.
A family member broke his old Tissot PR100 quartz while trying to change a battery. Well, it was boring anyway.

To give him something nice for his birthday, and to prevent this from happening (at least so fast) I thought of looking around for a somewhat stylish looking quartz. Trouble is, there doesn't seem to be much between really low-end stuff and let's say a Grand Seiko.

My idea was a solar quartz, because it simply allows him not to change batteries in the foreseeable future. I guess up to around 500 would be ok. He has rather simple tastes (not meant negatively) and so the watch has to be restrained.

So far this is probably the best option I've found:

Citizen Men's Blue Dial Super Titanium Watch BM7360-82L

Unfortunately the blue version seems to be sold out everywhere, while the grey is available (82E). It's crazy, almost like it was too popular or something.

Any alternatives to this? Also maybe a bit more expensive?
Solar is not a must, I just think it's probably a really good extra for him.
Open to grey market obvs.

Hi, a valid alternative could be this blue quartz watch.

If you are looking for titanium and solar quartz, then Citizen is the obvious choice. There's a number of other models that fit the bill. Some are JDM, but can easily be ordered from several outlets who sell them.

Citizen Attesa CB1120-50L

Seiko SUR371/373/375/377
Citizen Attesa or Casio Oceanus S100 for integrated bracelet.
Casio Oceanus T200 for a slightly larger wrist
The "new" 43mm Bulova moonwatch
Certina Precidrive for HAQ and sperty vibes - 40mm titanium 3 handers or 43-44mm divers.

Tissot should be out imho, they look like cheap knockoffs of the automatic versions ... like a vegan option to a steak at a restaurant - a pathetic mushroom... you should do better !

I think the Oceanus shown mentioned by others are so fresh and cool. I would take a good look at those, they have my vote for the coolest of the current quartz watches. The only reason I haven't gotten one myself is that they are just too big for my taste but most people now like big watches so if you like big watches it's hard to beat those.

They are excellent for sure but for me once I saw ‘anus’ on the dial I can’t unsee it. Yes that has prevented me from buying one in the past. Yes I know I’m petty and I’m ok with that. Maybe Casio changes the line to Oceanic.

To me they are too nice for me to be put off by the name. Perhaps if they were only mediocre watches the name might come into play.

Hi I am wondering if you still have the Omega Constellation 368.1075 up for sale. I am very interested.
