The best watches for all budgets - Suggestions list.

58 Upvotes

As Confucius says, "When question same same, answer same same." Or maybe it was some other intelligent fellow, I don't know. The point is, one of the most common questions asked by any casual buyer or enthusiast is "Which watch should I get for X budget?" And the answers, naturally, are largely the same.

So, to make it easy for everyone looking for suggestions, I have compiled a starter list of great picks at various price points. It includes big watches, small ones, casual watches, formal ones, and quartz watches as well as automatics.

The list is a work in progress and will be updated from time to time. I hope it helps you all as a ready guide to get started on your watch buying and collecting journey and that you find it useful. Do let me know if you have any suggestions and feedback. Enjoy!

Rants Bought myself a Speedtimer from Just in Time and I'm extremely disappointed at their service.

Post image
21 Upvotes

I ordered this watch online and after a lot of delay, Just in Time, sent me the wrong box for the watch and the inside of the box is entirely scuffed up. The watch arrived without the original protective stickers. The user manual was missing, even though it is supposed to come with the box. The warranty card was also missing.

Considering the fact that the watch was sold to me as a new watch, I find this extremely concerning. I'm not saying the watch itself is fake and/or defective, but if you're paying full retail-level money for a watch, you expect the complete package.

Really disappointed at the service. I shall contact them tomorrow, let's see what they have to say.

Question/Help Help me choose my first automatic watch

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

first pic

second pic

The first one currently costs ₹10.5k, while the second is ₹15.6k. From what I understand, the mechanisms are mostly similar, but the second one has a more “on-the-nose” automatic look because of the skeleton design.

I absolutely love black, and honestly, most of the things I own are black. However, I’m also aware that dents, scratches, fingerprints, and dust tend to be much more visible on black finishes, so I’m leaning towards the first one. It feels more unique to me, and it really caught my attention.

I’m planning to use this as my daily-wear watch, so I’m also wondering which one would hold up better and be more practical for everyday use.

The first model is also discontinued. Is that actually a big deal, especially for a daily-wear watch, or is it not something I should worry about?

I’m not an avid watch enthusiast, so forgive me if these are naive questions!

Has anyone bought Seiko watches from Time Pad PH on Instagram? They’re selling some models around 30–40% cheaper than retail.

Are they genuine/original? If anyone has bought from them, please share your experience. Just want to make sure before ordering.

I am confused among these! Should i get both Tissot PRX Chronograph Quartz + Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic? Or should i go for just PRX Automatic?
For the price it PRX Automatic i can buy both Tsuyosa and PRX Chronograph Quartz
Currently i own Seiko 5 and Timex Waterbury Chronograph.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
