Watch For Around €150-€200

Paully D

Hi all,

I'm going to get a new watch for Christmas and I'm looking for some advice.

A couple of requirements:

- The watch has to have a metal strap
- The watch has to have a round face

The watch would also be primarily worn with a suit, so I am baring in mind that it needs to look well and stand out with a suit or a shirt.

Something like the below will hopefully give a clearer idea of the type of watch I am searching for:



Is there anything around the €150-€200 mark that you would recommend? And finally, what websites do you recommend purchasing from as I don't really have a clue where to start.

Thanks

Einhard

I second this. And also, what are the best brands that one could buy in the €150-300 mark?

Also look at the Seiko and Casio Edifice watches on the same site. Orient might be worth a look also.

Several people of this parish have purchased through Creation Watches. They have used an Irish address for delivery and incurred Customs charges of €11.

Are Seiko a good brand?

Yes, they have a history and heritage in fine watch making that exceeds many of the quality Swiss brands.

I was looking at Tissot watches today, and they seemed quite nice and reasonably priced. Would folks here recommend them?

Yeah, I had a Tissot PRC200 - felt nicely made and looks good.

I got this watch for about €173 all in (with customs etc):
