Me personally I wear a Citizen daily, if it gets beat up no worries. I have a Hamilton Jazzmaster and an older Omega SM depending on the occasion and dress if needed.

In fact I just bought a Certina diver watch (a Swatch brand) which is an old Swiss maker acquired by Swatch. A great tool watch at its price point...

i like the swatch company actually. i equate fossil to more of a watch provider for clothing designers. there's nothing wrong with that but i wanted suggestions for something that i felt is more dedicated to mostly watches. i'm sure it's flawed thinking but i can't help it.
i should also mention, that i own some fossil made watches because i'll buy a watch just because i like it. i think the last one i bought was ck or versace.
