Well, as I have said before I am a big fella. I have about a 10.5 inch wrist and all the Wally world Gshocks are too small. I was wondering if anybody had any large digital or analog watch recommendations for someone who is budget conscious? Thanks

That should be big enough. You'll want to replace Casio's plastic strap, but it's still a cheap watch.

It looks good on brown

and also on black.

you just looking for a bigger face? or a larger than standard band? british navy style (also called NATO or G10) are much longer than normal you should be able to find one long enough. although mine measure out at 10 inches. I've also made bands out of webbing. a bit bulky, but works.

A good one but too big for me; if I kept it, I would have replaced the strap. Some leather straps are available in long lengths. Real rubber diver straps fit almost anyone, but it doesn't help if you don't like rubber.

He is "budget conscious" and he was shopping Wally World for a G-Shock. Their top of the line in G-Shocks is $89.90. He didn't say they were tacky, he said they were too small. Sounds like his budget is $100.

OK, that leaves the Breitling out. MSRP is about $16,000. Besides that, they don't carry them at Wally World.
 
I would hit up Kohl's and see what they have, they seem to carry a good selection of watches when I've checked them out and from what I've seen you can pick them up sometimes cheaper then anywhere else I've seen and are authorized dealers for (citizen and seiko, and I don't believe citizens warrenty is valid unless your buy from an authorized dealer). Usually they look pricey at first glance then you have to factor in all the discounts.
 
Check out steepandcheap.com now. They have a link to their sale watches, have some decent watches too. Not sure if you'd be up for a $220 watch, but you can get a luminox for that much.

Wait, I just saw one on E-bay for $49.99. Upon closer inspection this one (on E-bay) is made by Breitlink, but they look very much alike.:D
 
G-shock Frogman is a decent size watch and one you should consider

PS, I have one for sale in the classifieds that I'm willing to do a deal on!
