I know nothing about watches but would like to buy a nice watch. Looking for one that has a leather strap and a nice face design. Like I said I've no idea about watches so where better to ask for suggestions.

How about you have a look at this thread and see what styles you like; that'll help narrow it down.

Not at all; pick out some styes you like and I'm sure you'll get loads of ideas.

This is a little over budget, but they're a really nice watch. Tissot PRC200:

I've only recently come across Obris Morgan. I think they look great and seem to be very good value for new watch with a solid multi-link bracelet and a rubber strap. Can't find anywhere online to buy the Explorer, but the Branco can be bought here

Thanks for all that, loads to look at. I would definitely like a leather strap with a round face.
Will have a look, thanks again for the replys.

If you post a picture of one you like, even if it's not in budget, it will help people make suggestions.

I will have a look through the links posted now.

Here are some styles of watch I quite like.
Sorry I had to post links instead of pictures because I couldn't resize them.

Little less brown on the face, but like the design.

Sort of retro/sporty chrono from Seiko:
