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.
