I have the panda version of that watch and love it. If you get the right diver it can also be a GADA watch. Your Timex can double as a dress watch, because they look great with a suit, and I would get a diver next. If you want a true diver, over 200m or more water resistance, look into Citizen. They have some good automatics and eco-drives at decent prices. It really depends on how much you want to spend and how big a watch will fit your wrist. Orient's are great but big. Citizen comes in all sizes. If you want something with just 100 meter water resistance, so a "dive style" watch look at the Seiko 5 sports. They had them on sale on the Kohl's website for a little over $160. I'm not sure if that price is still good or not. I have that one as well and it's terrific. If you want something more upmarket you can get a Longines Conquest quartz from Jomashop for a little under $600. It's a GADA, but not a dive watch, but has 300m of water resistance, so you can swim in it. I also have that and it's fantastic. There are a few suggestions.
I had one for almost a year and never really connected with it, so I understand. It is not for everyone. It is absolutely beautiful, finished well, and a fun watch, but it just wasn't me.
