Title. I’m looking to buy my first watch with a budget around $500. I’d like a watch I could wear everyday that goes well with most outfits. Preferably metal band that isn’t after market because I don’t really understand how that all works. I know this question has been asked already but the posts and things I can find online are dated. Seems the market fluctuated a bit, just looking for opinions!
Thanks everyone.
I’d recommend to ignore people proposing Seikos, Orients and Citizens.
Have a look at Certina or Hamilton.
I agree that for $500 you should look at brands outside Japan and I would had Tissot to your second list, but what’s wrong with something like a Citizen NB1050?
