At that price point, and without knowing what you like, I'd look at the G Shock lineup

Do you want smart functions? If so, I'd go with a Garmin Vivoactive at $250.

I lost my last Garmin in the woods. Was a pain having to take my phone out of my pocket to see who texts each time. Quickly went back to a smart watch.

Garmin instinct should be able to be found on sale for 200-225.
Battery life is 19-20 days if not using gps. With gps you can navigate, see sunrise and sunset, find your lost phone as well as get notifications from your cell phone phone that a Buck has just daylighted on the stand your currently not sitting at!!

I have a Bertucci Titanium that I use as my field watch.

They should have a non titanium in your price range.

Regular ol timex expedition is a good one. Well below budget and very serviceable.

This one if you want some cooler stuff (steel case, saphire) and maxed out budget

vaer field watch

Check to see if back lit digital is bright enough. G Shock has served me well.

casio gw-m5610



Mine is 5 or 6 years old.

It will be running 100 years from now.

My only complaint is that it looks like a $15 casio

G shock best for the money
Had a luminox that needed repair - they wanted to charge me almost what I paid for it. Not quality anymore.

One of the worst pieces of junk I have ever owned. Asked for one for a present one year. It lasted 1-2 years and started losing time, like 4hrs in a day time. Changed batteries and still was losing time, sent off for repairs and came back and wa still junk. Wouldn’t wear one if it was given to me. Before i swapped to a Garmin I was wearing a gshock and if not for all the functions of a Garmin I would probably be wearing that gshock.

Unfortunately most watches on earth are very overpriced trash man jewelry.

What do you want the watch to do?

Simply keep time?
Luminous hands?
Light to view in the dark?
Track physical activities?
GPS?
Sync to phone?
Self-winding?

That will help decide what watch or watches would be good for you.
