If I had two watches, one would be a lightweight sports one, rubber, plastic and whatever helps; and one would be a dress watch or everyday watch, huge water resist not necessary. I say that because some of the more expensive watches (but nothing in this $1.5m league!) I've seen only have 30m water resist or whatever, whilst watches much cheaper have more water resist. That said, I don't really do much sport these days, so I can do with one watch.
That Carrera watch looks pretty ok, I like it, though it's not quite my favoured style.
Here are some of my current favourites:
Seiko, seen for around AUS$200, I might buy this one myself. Simple and elegant.
Tissot TXL Seven, I like how it combines both analogue elegance with digital 'precision' (lack of possibility of parallax error). Maybe around AUS$500?
Rado Ceramica 'Multi', same as above, and it's pretty unusual to see a black watch. But I think it costs AUS$2300, which isn't quite US$600.
Emporio Armani, I've never really been a fan of splashing designer names around, but I like the watch for itself. Maybe around AUS$650.
