Well in that case and without trying to break the bank.

I do know there are several models of Casio's and others that never made it to NA, haven't seen any myself but have seen didital ones here and there from $30 - $50 at various stores.

I love the Tokyo Flash stuff but I'm sure I'd forget how to read it

From my price comparisons after I bought my watch 1 1/2 years ago, Japanese brands were far cheaper in Japan than in the US while imported brands were about the same in both places. I only did the comparison because I saw the same Seiko watch that I bought at DEODEO in Japan for ~9,000 yen in a US store for ~$200.

lil off topic, but i stayed in the house across from the owner of seiko in Shiro kane Dai.

lol

any ways.

it really depends on where you shop and what brand you get.

you can get cheap or expensive watches any where.

just depends on your personal taste.

i've seen cheap japanese watches and expensive ones.

although i dont own any.

person i like movados b/c they are very slim and not flashy.

but in japan movado can be very pricey

G-Shock is made by Casio, but I have found they are cheaper in the US than in Japan.
