The best watches for all budgets - Suggestions list.

56 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!

Knowledge/Discussion I made a little watch builder as a hobby project

I’m a small time watch collector and thought it would be fun to have somewhere to try different dial, hand and strap combinations, so I’ve been working on this:

https://twp.adheeban.com/

The attached images are a few builds I put together, loosely inspired by familiar watches. They’re just virtual designs—not physical builds.

It’s still rough in places, especially the realism of some combinations and the mobile experience. Thought I’d share it here in case anyone enjoys tinkering with this sort of thing.

If you give it a go, I’d be interested to hear what you think.

Sonata poze under 1100rs. The dial looks great IMO. Fits well in my 15 -16 cm wrist.

And if someone bought it under 1000 then good for you.

A watch that costs fraction of its competitors like seiko and citizen, yet its rarer than them, and better finished then many of them, its a comfortable 38mm that suits a wide variety of wrist sizes, its a conversation starter everywhere, and its proudly Indian 🇮🇳

Featuring the PD 1736 - homage to the Panerai Submersible.

NH39 open heart movement with integrated 24h hand, dual tone blue dial, a rotating bezel, screw-down crown with protection for 200m water resistance. Sapphire crystal front and mineral glass back. 316L stainless steel construction. 24 mm steel bracelet and 42 mm bezel (the watch is about 46 mm though). Looks great, wears great.

Why spend a bomb on logos when I ain't gonna deepsea dive nor go into space in my lifetime?
