Shoot. A seiko 5 for like $60 is pretty good for what it is. I hear they even keep pretty good time. It just isn't worth actually getting service work done on it, unless you have sentimental attachment for it.

Yep. I've got one that averages <1s/day slow. Granted it swings between about +/-4s but I'm still more than happy for a watch that cheap.

Filson is having a 60% off sale on their watches. Here

I have a Seiko 007 that I wear as my beater. Absolutely does the trick.

You're just being a little snobby about this. I have read some people say the same thing you are saying about watches in the $1000-$3000 range. At any price point there are products that are bad value and others that give at least some bang for the buck.

Oh I definitely am.

For exampl. Seiko or citizen or even your g shock are at least made by watch companies that make quality products and fossil and Michael Kors are fashion watches that are entirely style over substance, not that there's necessarily a ton wrong with that, especially at those prices.

The fashion watch is basically my suggestion at this price point. You're not going to get an impressive time piece here, so pick the one you think looks best and go from there. Save some money now and you're that much closer to a significant watch you can keep forever.
