Check out the urban gentry on YouTube. Tristano does a great job of sharing his love for all things horological.

I enjoy my Casio Duro I bought for under $50 immensely by pairing it with different straps, etc. it is actually famous for being worn by Bill Gates. Your focus is off, a watch is enjoyed not by the dollar amount attached to it but by how much you actually like the timepiece. I have a small collection of ecomically piece that I love and it enriches my daily life.

I have several Seiko and Orient mechanical watches and I'd suggest anyone looking to eventually buy a true luxury mechanical watch start with something well under $100 first. My two Seiko 5 beaters were less than $50 and I wear them doing all kinds of construction, yard work, welding, and carpentry projects and they are still keeping great time. You want something you are actually going to enjoy wearing and not worry about putting some scratches in it.

used to wear those for work, they keep good time but I never got more than a few months out of them before the straps would break
