Watch recommendations for class and comfort
Style and budget are required to make a recommendation. It sounds like you want a quartz but you mention Rolex and Omega which are mechanical. Even with quartz there is a very wide range in style and cost. Mechanical watches have a very wide range in cost also. You can get a good mechanical for $600-$1200. Watch bands are not BIFL. Even metal bands will eventually get loose and need to be replaced. Metal bands do last MUCH longer than other materials, but not forever. Seiko, Hamilton, and Mido are all cheaper mechanical watches and great quality. As far as style, a lot of watches work in casual and more formal wear. Big dive watches and loud quartz might not work with classier outfits. You can dress down dress watches. You don't need a dive watch for water resistance. What you want to spend really matters because you get different levels or quality and features at different price points. IMO, Longines is probably the best bang for the buck if you have the money. I would also consider asking on /r/watches.

Looking for a good quality wrist watch
This looks like the bezel is interchangeable and I am not sure what is the quality of those bezels, atleast does'nt look great and this watch certainly does not look BIFL. Good rule of thumb while buying BIFL watches is stick to the legacy brands like Roles, Omega, Breitling, Mido, Seiko depending upon your budget and to name a few. Usually DW, Gucci, Hugo Boss watches offer only looks and a short time lifetime as their build quality is not great and they are quartz watches. SO they are definitely not value for money you pay for their brand names. Maybe if you want some bright coloured dials in you watches maybe the new line of Oris big crown is worth giving a look.

What are some of the best products/brands you love splurging on?
Wristwatches, in general. I’m not wholly loyal to any one particular brand, but with any watch I’ve made a conscious decision to buy, it’s never let me down. Brands include: Casio, Seiko, Oris, Rado, Mido, Timex, Vostok, Tudor, Rolex, Jaeger leCoultre, even a microbrand called Zelos. The other things I will happily splurge on are well-made raw denim jeans, leather jackets, waxed jackets like a Barbour, shoes (especially Chelsea and heritage work-styled boots eg. RM Williams, Yuketen).
