Does any one know some nice sport watches for small wrists?

A 40mm watch would look huge on my (basically woman-sized) wrist. I'd like a watch similar to the Tissot V8.

Have a look at the Tag Heuer Formula One range - probably the cheapest Tag Heuer watches in their range. Some are quite small and ideal for small wrists.

The rash occurs doesn't occur on the sides of the wrist but underneath the back of the watch. So a leather strap won't help unless it prevents the back of the watch from touching as well.

Anyone else with this "condition?"

Maybe you are allergic to nickel.

Here is my Seiko Orange Monster. By the way any watch fanatic should take a look at http://www.bdwf.net, it's a really good forum for watch fanatic.

P.S. I'm not the owner of BDWF and I'm not getting anything for advising that forum. If I'm not allowed to link a different forum please let me know. Thanks

What is Tissot like as a brand? Mid-range? Cheap? Unreliable? How would these compare to the Citizen Calibre 2100 Chronograph Eco-Drive Watch?

Although Tissot makes cheap watches (like the PRC200), the brand itself isn't cheap at all. You can easily spend 7000€ on a Tissot watch.
They aren't unreliable and the PRC series can be seen as mid-range.

Got the PRC200 myself as a daily walker and although it's a little small for my wrist (38mm) it looks pretty good and the build quality is great for the price (~350€).

On topic:

I'm wearing the Tissot PRC200 with a black dial and metal wristband on a daily basis and a Chopard Monaco Chronograph with black leather strap for special occasions.

I too wear the Tissot PRC200 that is pictured above as my daily watch. I bought it 1.5 years ago, and it still works well and looks great. It's a nice mid-range watch that looks good with a t-shirt and jeans or if dressed up. I also own a Tag, a Movado, and an Adina (a gift from Australia) that I wear occasionally.

My dad bought me this Tag Heuer for my college graduation present, after he paid for my entire undergrad degree, nice guy.
Bought my wife a matching one with mother of pearl and diamonds, super girly.

This is the watch I wear every day though, little more wear-proof and functional.

Nuts! Betcha my Rolex Sea Dweller will hold it's value (perhaps even go up in value) better than any iphone4. Actually the value of almost all vintage Rolex Submariners went up over the years.

I wish I could wear a watch. I get severe rashes due to the metal touching my skin. Are there any reasonably priced watches that people with "contact dermititis" can wear?

Try a different metal. If that doesn't work, get a leather band and then coat the metal with clear nail polish.

I don't carry my investments around on my person ;)
Anyway not trying to threadcrap, please carry on.

My 1986 16800 Submariner is worth just as much as a new 16610 Submariner.

Ah I love watches. Some beautiful ones in the thread.

Here are the two main ones, I have some old ones I haven't worn in years but can't bring myself to get rid of them. They are sitting nicely in storage right now haha :D
