Ok, so I need a new watch for work, and can't have a metal band, so looking at fabric.
Don't want a digital watch, so G-Shock is out. I'm narrowed down to the following watches , but am still open to suggestions: Seiko 5 Sports Citizen Eco Drive |

Why no metal band? Work rules state no metal bands. They state it is a safety hazard....  Image search "degloving"; you might agree. I wouldn't wear a fabric one either. I would agree, if I wasn't sitting behind a computer out in the field and not on a rig floor or in a machine shop. I'm just not a fan of rubber bands. |

I have a Citizen Eco Drive (but with a metal band) and I have no complaints. It's tits. For sure they are the tits. I have a titanium Eco Drive for the office and general daily usage. Just wondering if I'm overlooking other watches (like victorinox suggested above) or if I should stick with another Citizen. |

I wouldn't worry too much if the band is connected on each side of the watch with those spring loaded pins, they break pretty easy. I would not use the nylon bands that complete encircle the wrist. Like this: 
Rings are what scare me. I've worked in furniture manufacturing over 30 years and never saw an accident caused by a watch but I've seen at least three caused by rings. |

Luminox.  Traser > Luminox. For the price of the Traser Commander, you could get a TSAR. Unrelated to that, I'm in the need for another watch as well. I'm considering a G-shock analog. Are they just as sturdy and accurate as the all digitals? The new RAF casio is slick as hell, but then again it's the same cost as a TSAR. |
