Just to throw my two cents in... I would also add Tissot in that range if you buy online (not in stores). Tissot is Swiss made and is one of the entry level luxury watches in the Swiss made realm (they are owned by the Swatch Group).
BUT I will add... WHAT kind of watch are you looking for? A quartz or an automatic? If you want to start collecting.. you'll eventually need to cross that line from a quartz to a mechanical. In that range, Seiko makes a pretty affordable and realiable automatic. I would highly suggest checking out Orient watches as well. These are Japanese automatic watches, which are a huge bang for your buck.
For quartz... the Citizen Eco-Drive series. Such a solid quartz in that range and one of the best quartz systems on the market.
Research and dig through the forums at Watchuseek.com. I search there regularly but am no where near the expertise of those forum members. You will also definitely get the best deals online in the "grey market" as it's referred to (aka Amazon, Jomashop, etc..)

What car is a good first car?
Q. I want a car with the following things:
under $20,000
Good looking
Sporty
4 doors
somewhat new, not older than 2007
I had a civic or a lacer gts in mind, but do you have any better ideas?

Answer
Well you have to watch out for the sporty cars because they will be hard to pay the insurance, especially being a first time driver. As for the rest of your criteria, A civic would get my top recommendation of the two. you may also want to consider reliability (a BIG one), maintenance fees, taxes, and other less-looked at things -- You don't want to spend that much on a car and find out that that model had chronic and known problems with the transmission, for example, and be stuck with that loveliness. Do your research.
Some honorable mentions:
Honda CR-V (known for durability)
Ford Fiesta (Excellent gas mileage and fun to drive and a new car can be purchased for 17K with some nice options like push button start)
Stay away from any pontiac, isuzu, pre 2005 ford, any gmc or any German luxury brand. They are all bad news in general
EDIT: Subaru Forrester is far from what you are looking for. A Legacy is somewhat closer.
