I know that most of you pros are using watering wands and what not. But what qualities in a good can should be looking for? A hose and wand are out of the question.

I've had one like this for over 4 years and still works like perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/V120-Practic...&qid=1492718226&sr=1-53&keywords=watering+can
There are certainly more expensive ones out there but as long as it has an aluminum rose you should be good and will get many years of use from it.

from going through a few watering cans, I found two things I want. a removable head so I can clean it out when something inevitably falls in the can and many fine holes in the head. I am currently using a plastic Dramm that is about five years in use. The holes are a little bigger then some other ones I had but the plastic head seems to break up the water as it falls out so I get a lot of small drops rather then a stream. Size of the overall can is important to me too as a I have a 15 litre bucket of fertilizer water I just dump the whole can into to fill rather then pour the fertilizer water into the can.

I use this one. Now that I have looked, I might upgrade to the five litre one.

I have this long reach variant https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000...tering+can&dpPl=1&dpID=318N1jw37tL&ref=plSrch ...The rose is pretty good, you can replace it woth the rose from the Fine spray line http://bosmereusa.com/Product.asp?_Brand=All&_Group=Watering&_pcode=V210
...worked well till I was able to turn around with it on my crammed balcony. The can waits for better times too.

Cheap... I've been using (for fertilizing only) the same green plastic watering can I got from HD over a decade ago. It's outside year round, gets dropped, kicked, bakes in the sun and has had a half gallon of liquid frozen inside it for a month and still does the job.

I just remember the dealer when I got my first tree saying that I needed to get a watering can and it was like $45 or $50. I just thought she was trying to upsell me at the time lol
She explained the benefits of the rose head and the "raining" vs poured water and I was like no thanks. Now, I want something but still effective cost effective.

I have one I bought in England when I was stationed there over 30 years ago. It's the "everyday use" one that's for landscape stuff. I don't know the name but it still works fine.

Pours like gentle rain.
Head is removable for cleaning.
No more that 1 to 1.5 US gallons ------ more will damage you with constant use.
Plastic here and about 10 or so years old, nothing special and didn't cost much.
You can get so attached to them, you start repairing them.
Good Day

Geeez, stand out by the road in front of your house and someone will drive by and place it in your hand. 
Your going to have to find out for yourself where you can buy one locally. You might start at Nursery though.

If you want it quick then you'll probably need to go to a nursery. Wear blinders and avoid the temptation. You can always "phone a friend" as a last resort.
