That is a tough pricepoint if you are ruling out the mainstream Japanese brands. While it is hard to get a mechanical micro-brand now at that price if you can it will almost certainly have a Seiko, Miyota or Chinese movement in it and the rest of the watch will likely be Chinese too.

A Timex, Wenger, Mondaine, Victorinox, Bulova, Raymond Weil, Frederique Constant, Hamilton, Alpina, Mido or Tissot quartz watch would be some of your best bets.


What type of watch are you looking for? Are you limited to where you can buy it or can you buy it from a website like Jomashop?

Best watch money can buy for sub $400 is a Scurfa Diver 1. Throw in a bracelet and you spend like $380 shipped to your door.

The next batch drops on the 21st. I believe they drop at 11am CT, or really close to there. Since they started putting the actual date online they go quick. The last batch, a few days ago, went in about 15min from what I gather.
