Default Going to try out wearing a watch

Never really been much of a watch guy, but got the itch yesterday to start looking at some. Kept my budget pretty reasonable and ordered two watches off Amazon to see which I like better. Both are Casio which from what little I know is a pretty decent brand. Both of these were in the $50 range shipped, so they're not amazing but they shouldn't be complete department store junk either IMO.

Any preference to one or the other? I've read the top one looks better in person than the pictures show. I ordered both and will be here Monday so I can check them both out. I'll either return one or keep them both depending on how I like them.

I like the top one myself, I'm not into how the bottom one has the digital stuff on it.

I like both Analog and Digital stuff. The bottom one also has a built in thermometer which I though was pretty cool.

i like the top one better but the thermometer feature is pretty neat.

I have a Fossil watch that i bought for myself when i graduated boot camp almost 8 years ago but i hardly ever wear it because i cant wear it at work.

I'm a huge watch fan. I've got probably thirtyor so, ranging from the everyday Bulova's to a custom made Sigel that I got in Italy two years back on a trip. Casio's pretty reliable stuff. I have a few G-Shock's that I wear as everyday watches and you can literally stomp on them and them be ok.
