OT Watch Experts, Watches Around $200 Or Less
Posted on 3/24/16 at 7:29 am

I'm not an OT Baller, but I want a nice everyday wearing watch. I'm looking at a couple of watches, but am definitely open to suggestion.
I'm looking at the Seiko Skx175, but also have been checking out some Citizens. I'm not trying to break the bank, but also want a decent watch. I've heard divers are good all around every day watches, but I'm definitely open to anything that looks reasonably professional.

Jesu Christo, how many watch threads must the OT have?

A whole, whole bunch.
There are a lot of experienced people here (Broke, Gaston, ect) and I just want to get some insight.

Then maybe read one or all of those threads? You goddamn millennials and your "there are a whole, whole bunch of these threads already, but I'm special and I deserve my own" mentality...

If the mods don't like it, they can always kill the thread in a multitude of ways. God forbid I bump the "Official Song of the OT" thread a spot down.

Citizen Eco drives are nice.
Look up Bearnhardt (spelling?) watches. They make some nice looking automatics that are very reasonably priced.

This thread just gave me cancer. Please remove it. Please

I have a friend who is a watchmaker(he's also a clock-maker, which is actually a rare combination). He recommends Citizen as the best watch for the money. He does so without regard to sales, since he does not sell watches nor does he work for an establishment that sells watches (he is independent).

I can tell you that a lot of the folks at watchuseek seem to consider the Tisell Divers to be the best bang for your buck at under $200.

I started off with a few Citizen EcoDrives that I still wear today from time to time. Personally, I'd consider saving and increasing your budget to $350 or so and thus entering the Hamilton/Tissot entry range.

Who is holding a gun to your head to make you click on it instead of the other 100s of threads started here daily?
ETA: That Seiko looks like a Tag knock off

Seiko pepsi bezel dive watch is my vite

Nobody chimes into a bumped 30 page thread and the OP doesn't sound like he wants A Patek Phillipe.
Citizen is fine I have one Eco-drive that I enjoy. Seiko? I only question that you can get an auto like the Eco Drive for $200 in a Seiko? You don't want to buy a "diver" that you are changing the battery on at a mall kiosk. Then trying to use it. Not saying you are Jacque Cousteau or anything. Jacque would have known better and had a SeaDweller or some shite like that. A $200 "diver" will only be good enough for swimming in a pool etc. and after a battery change that would be suspect.
Buy whatever you think looks good in that price range and in those 2 brands. With those you are getting the same watch essentially.

Here is one.

Here is another popular one skx007. It's a few bucks over what you are looking for.
BTW I googled these and know absolutely nothing about the islandwatch website as a retailer? New to me.

I'd get one of these two watches...if I could ensure the day of the week isn't in German. Looks like it is, and hey once you get the conversion down it could be cool.
$245 with shipping
$229 with shipping
For the $200 range you're buying a nice case and dial...these are probably as nice as you'll find. These would look super cool on NATO bands.

Correct response.

I hear swatches are making a comeback. Make sure you allow enough in your budget for the florescent watch guard.
