What if you get someone in the US to buy a refurbished model and ship it to you?

Certina isn't uncommon there and is a respected brand among most watch people who aren't complete snobs

Edit: and alpina is Swatch group owned as well

Do you find it comfortable? Someone else said that their Swissgear bag has thin straps and isn't very comfy

I’d love to add Tag Heurs to the list but mine is regularly in the shop, so avoid unless others have had better experiences.

Dakine made a good backpack when I had one, got about 7 years of daily use out of it

Yep! Jockeys!

Thunderpants undies made in New Zealand. They last forever and are amazing.

I recommend bamboo socks as well. Great material.

+1 to Casio G-Shock. I like the ones with analog dials and digital windows.

For the digital windows, I prefer the old school grey background. Some have inverse black backgrounds and I find them more difficult to read.

F-91w is one of the thinnest watches :) And for 99% of people it'll be as durable as a G-shock... These watches never die, they just get lost haha

I really dislike the oversized watch trend.

TBH wouldn't care about solar much, something like a f-91w lasts literally for a decade on a battery.

Citizen Eco Drive. Very elegant, no battery replacements, durable, lasts for weeks with no sunlight (it's a solar-recharging watch...). IMO the ultimate watch for a general elegant look at work that can be used any day, and they come in many styles from more rugged and water resistant divers to chronographs and also more elegant classic minimalist designs...

Or if you only need functionality and are OK with a more retro look (or are an engineer), the classic Casio F-91w is impossible to beat! Also the W-59 with slightly more water resistance rating or the f-105w-1a (illuminator model, just a much nicer backlight...).

On the face of it, they've stood the test of time.

Hanks Belts. Coronado Leather. I have both, both are Lifetime belts. Coronado has Horween - I bought a color 8 cxl - and Hanks has some of the thickest and nicest belts I’ve ever seen. Although Hanks may be made in Canada now that I think of it, not positive. Coronado is small family owners in Cali.

I have an almost identical Swissgear laptop bag that I’ve had for 12-13 yrs now. It was my daily gym back for 9-10 yrs. Still as good as the day I bought it.

Casio offers many solar-powered G-Shock models, some of them are thinner/smaller than the average one, for example: GW-M5610U

Not sure where you’re located but I picked up an Amish handmade belt in Pennsylvania that was $18 and will probably outlast me. I can give you more details if you’re interested

He took really good care of them.

LOL, literally came here to suggest that. I thought, hell for that kind of money you could make it yourself.

TIP- I have a mesh/garment bag for undies and bras when I do laundry. I also air dry them instead of using the dryer (I do this for my outside clothes too). This way they last longer and look new.

Victoria secret had mad sales on undies and I have so many of them. And Of course Jockey.
