As above, I quite fancy something in black metal. Like this lovely Seiko but less diver-y and less spend-y:
Swatch used to do a few but I can't see them on ebay (in my price range!)
Any suggestions?
I've got a Fossil one, I can hear the snorts of derision from here, but i like it!

Edit: just noticed it doesn't meet your not too spendy bit.
I have a Hamilton Khaki below zero. I love it. Its pretty heavy though. My right arm is now a bit longer.
Nite watches?
or MVMT?
Got this and love it.

Other strap colours available for shrinking violets.

That's lovely, I'd wear that.
I've got three watches in black. The Seiko is the cheapest, and the Garmin the most expensive.

Bamford Watches do some nice DLC timepieces
🙂
Steinhart Ocean Black would be my suggestion (disclaimer, I have a Steinhart Ocean GMT which I love):

My SINN UX, they also do it with an all black ( PVD) BODY as opposed to just the crown.

You don't want much really then!
Interested in why people rate Seiko so much?
I bought into a lot of the threads on here on Seiko quality, but after 2.5 years all the hands are out of line on my Seiko, and they want £91+postage to repair a watch that cost £125 and I can now buy for £95.
Any other brands people would recommend?

£99 from Argos
Skagen? I've got one of their watches in black metal and it was about £100 I think.
Can't remember what model mine is but it's something like this:

no watches in black metal as far as i know. HTH
I've got a black 'genuine fake' Rolex I bought in Saigon for $10.
Loses time at an incredible rate and leaves a black mark on your wrist but looks smart from a distance.
Yours for $10

Seiko produce probably millions of watches, from very cheap to pretty damned pricey, there's always going to be a few that have problems; I've seen a Rolls Royce being loaded onto a trailer on the M4 hard shoulder, nothing's perfect.
I've got two Seikos, a SPORK, and a Yokobies '5' mod; neither has caused any issues, there's around £300 between them, but frankly that's irrelevant, statistically there will be some that fail in some way, but by and large Seiko are very reliable.
Have a look at mondaine
I've got a black animal surfmaster
I like it

It's flash enough for me but reminds me of my old animal watch from days of yore and the many Velcro straps it outlasted, including a couple of mbuk ones !
Tho day to day I just wear my cheap Casio

That is the exact same experience I have had with the Seiko chronograph my Dad got me.
+1 for the Skagen,
I've got the one pictured above and love it. Classic and understated. I've never been one for all of the dials and colours. Plus mine's steel - just like my bikes 🙂
