Quality and design are probably the two most important things to look for. They definitely go hand in hand.

Ridiculous prices and sizes. And stay away from the "fashion brands" - those watches that come from companies who's main interest is really fashion and not watchmaking technology and innovation.

Honestly can't say which is my favorite. Then again, I've never been a one-watch guy. However, based on the amount of time I wear it, it'd probably be the Breitling Superocean, because it's a solid, no-worries kind of watch that I can wear in practically any occasion due to it's just right sporty-bling mix of styling.

1) Looks, reliability, a tradition of excellence of the company, an in-house movement.
2) It's the small things that bug me - misaligned bezels or the actual watch face being slightly turned bugs me.
3) Rolex Sea Dweller

1) Looks, quality and reliability, movement either ETA or in house I find ETA to be VERY reliable if not more so than many in house movements, and the experience of the company in what they do. I like RADO alot due to their different aesthetics and use of materials

2) What bugs me? Well noticeable scratches that really aggravates me, if I notice a scratch I can never get it out of my head really bugs me. That is why I buy RADO and love the fact that it is the pioneer in making scratch resistant watches all round.

3) Favorite watch easy, my RADO Sintra
