Advice regarding a few Axcent watches
I posted this on MFA but was redirected here, hi! I'll try to provide as much relevant information as possible. I'm a 22 year old high school teaching student in Sweden. I recently started getting interested in watches. The ones I'm wondering about are as follows (link to a Swedish website, don't be alarmed):

They all cost the equivalent of about $100. The colors may put some people off (no idea honestly) but I think they make them stand out a bit. If these are no good, are there similar watches you would recommend instead? I recently bought this Timex:
I love olive green and it had a beautiful, clean dial so I fell for it. I like that kind of strap too, no metal straps for me. Leather strap is fine as well. My usual style of clothing is chinos (regular beige, dark blue, fancy grey and even red) along with a button down shirt or a nice sweater/cardigan. I'm 6'3 and 160lbs.
While I'm on the subject, could anyone recommend a nice dress watch based on this information? Budget around $100 I guess.. Thanks!

They're quartz watches so they're probably fine. I don't think anyone here will have much of a detailed opinion on them.
Assuming you mean dress watch in the strict fashion sense, you're going to want a watch with a black leather band and a white dial. Look at citizen eco drive.
Thank you! I've gotten downvoted everywhere, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Your reply was very helpful though. Thanks again.
Np. The bottom line is any quartz watch is probably fine. The price at $100 is good too for a watch.
If you're interested in mechanical movements, check Orient (seiko owned brand, always running a 30% discount) or seagullusa (chinese brand)
