I took a look at Overstock. They have this watch for just a little above your max price of $400 ($432.99) (ETA: They have the same watch at Jomashop for $345.00):

Though I gotta say that I fancy this one myself (though I wear watches too infrequently to justify the $630 price tag):

Yeah, I'd looked at both of those in the malls yesterday but wasn't willing to play the list price for them so one of the things I told Lani was that I'd check online.

The cheapest thing would be to pick one of my old watches and get a new battery put into it but I want to move forward.

When it comes to these things I do have expensive taste. We were in a Movado store in Walnut Creek last night and they had the full array. I looked them over and picked one to try on. It was, of course, the $2,100 one.

On Friday the Mall in our town had at least a 45 minute wait for parking. I was working my shift at my place of work.
The Ugg boots are still hot 4 years running after Oprah made a blurb about them. ~~cough~ ~lemmings~~ cough~~

We sold these boots out at our store. We would get about 20 calls in one morning just asking for them. No exaggeration.
This one lady comes in acts like we are criminalizing her because we need the product back in condition to re-sell if she chooses to return them. Saying we are more concerned about the product then the customer.
I can somewhat see what she is trying to say, but no reason to get "bent" about it.
