Men's watch brands under $ 500 ?

Sep 10, 2019 56 Comments

What do the different brands convey? Like you find Seiko at 250+ vs low cost Swiss brands like Tissot at 350+ vs other brands... Do they convey something deeper about the wearer?

I'm looking to buy a watch and have a Max budget of 500.

  • They both convey that you are wearing a watch.

      Not that some say finesse about you,
      A mechanical swiss or Seiko say that you like craftsmanship over run of the mill.
      Same thing like a Tesla versus a vintage long hood Porsche. Running and maintaining that vintage Porsche needs dedication and research that not everyone could afford to do it.

      I spent $400 on my watch and $50 on a custom band probably seven years back and no regrets in doing that. Still it's my favorite.

  • If you want it to be meaningful then you should start learning about them and the craft behind Swiss automatic watches. If you get it and find interest talking about it with other watch enthusiasts, and there are a few watches which speak to you because of some aspect of their design or heritage, then you will be at the point where it is “conveying something deeper”. If you buy the one that someone tells you is meaningful then there is nothing deep about it.

      Thank you. :) Although I'm not looking to become a watch enthusiast.

      I understand cars better, for example. For a novice, a Buick or a Subaru are priced similar, drive similar, have the same seats, similar infotainment, maybe I don't need AWD etc. But the cars represent something fundamentally different. I don't want to spend 500 dollars and end up with the Buick of the lot.

      My goal is not to look cool. My goal is to not look bad / naive.

    • I wouldn’t worry about it. Like all the nerds above are saying, nobody cares anymore about what’s on your wrist. So I think it’s better just to not wear one or get a gadget like Apple Watch and not make a big deal about it. You won’t look bad with those options.
