Affordable watch thread for short men.
post #1

For us gents with modest incomes and for maybe those who have money, but don't want to spend a fortune (especially in this economy), which watch brands or specific models do you recommend? 

A lot of people love to put down Invicta, but I love the design of many of their watches, and many can be had for under $200 (let's set that as the benchmark for "affordable"). 

So shorter gents, what's your favorite watch brand, and which models do you currently own, or recommend? I dress mostly "Dress casual", "Urban formal" and "Formal" if it helps.

Yes, Invictas get a bad wrap because they are not considered quality for the long term. Also, watch snobs sneer at watches that "look nice" and are affordable. It's kind of like a professional photographer mocking a consumer or prosumer model camera.

Personally, I like Invicta watches. I have a few, but I don't swear by them. My most expensive piece is a Concord Mariner X Gent in black and chrome, but you're targeting less than $250, so Seiko, Casio, Fossil and Invicta brands are going to be right up your alley. I have dozens of Fossils and this one here (chronograph with brown leather) will be my next purchase.

The Boot Thread - For Those Of Us Who Like To Wear Boots

I'm making this thread to talk about (if you haven't figured it out already) boots. I know some of you have a nice dress shoe or sneaker collections, but I love to wear boots. I find with a few exceptions, that boots go with almost any outfit (excluding shorts of course, please don't do that). 

I figured I'd kick of this thread so we can share out what our current flavor of the month is, or to put on display a pair of boots that you own and like, or would like to pick up! We might get some style ideas and inspiration in the process.

Short man stock, trading and investing thread

Thought it would be cool to start a thread where we could all get together and share investing, stock ideas and tips on managing money well. At the moment, I tinker with investing on the retail apps (Robinhood, Acorns) with pocket change that I put side when I can. 

At the moment, I own two shares of Apple and a few shares of hotel stocks. I would like to get into investing more and am learning about the market, but am very much a novice.

With this recent crash due to the tariffs, everyone is saying that right now is the time to buy. I figured some of the more knowledgable and seasoned traders, investors and know more about financial management could chime in with tips or trends to watch.

In any case, let's get this conversation going!
