What are some of the better online catalogs for watches? I am looking to buy a new watch. I want something classy looking, but also durable and precise. I am looking at Swiss Army, Wenger, Luminox, etc. I do not want to spend more than $150. What are some good places...and what are some good watches? I am new to the quality watch scene...having owned Timexes and Casios for the last 20 yrs.

Hi, for Luminox watches the very best service and prices can be found at http://www.theleadingedgeonline.com/ I bought a titanium luminox and found Dennis Bible an excellent person to deal with.

Get some Trazodone or ambien, Mr. Cox. That should help you get some sleep but I think there's no meds to cure your goofiness.
Don't have any suggestions for sites but how about this watch:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1645803331
It is about 38-39mm in diameter, without the crown.

I didn't know what to get. I've heard the Luminox's are great, and I used to want one very badly. But I decided on a Swiss Army Officer's model with blue dial, #24337. It was $295 on every website, except for www.wristwatch.com, which had it at $206.

Hey PsychRN,
I've taken Trazodone and Ambien, both for insomnia. Trazodone has been ineffective. I've been taking the Trazodone for about a month. Sucks for its intended purpose...tring to get me to sleep. Ambien, on the other hand, has been outstanding. I've been taking it on-and-off for over a couple of years. Puts me out in 30-60 minutes. Strange effects, though, with the "amnesia" affect. I seriously have forgotten converstations after taking it.
Back on topic. I now have three Luminox watches. I really like them and have not experienced any problems. My most recent purchase from Dennis Bible at http://theleadingedgeonline.com/ was simply outstanding!

Hi PsychRN,
My "sleep doctor" (a sleep specialist) has prescribed the Trazodone as an alternative to Ambien. But he has been relatively comfortable with long term use at a maximum of two doses per week. If the Trazodone would work without the bad side effects I've had with other similar medications, I'd be happy with it. But to date, it has not assisted in assisting bringing on sleep.
I drink very, very little alcohol...often a token at best. And yes, Ambien is only taken very close to my bed.
One amnesic occurrence of note. I recently had a very painful "day surgery" procedure. When I got home, I just wanted to sleep, but couldn't. So I took an Ambien and went to bed. My boss called sometime later and we had a conversation for about 45 minutes. I didn't remember a word of it and didn't remember that she'd called. Very embarrassing.
