Re: Recommend to me a watch under $500
 

I'm thinking about getting this watch since I've got some Amazon GCs from Stars to use. I'm still looking around though.

I personally like nixon, you can buy 2 watches that are a little different than a lot of watches out there, and you can choose which watch to wear based on what clothes you have on.

for $500 range, you can't go wrong with new and/or used:

Hamilton
Oris

maybe something like longines. just a few suggestions, happy hunting

www.timezone.com helps a lot

I have both an Oris and a Hamilton (bought them used) and like them both. I think Oris makes very nice watches that are reasonably priced (I don't think there are any under $500 except for used, however).

That said, neither compare to the Omega Seamaster my wife bought me for our anniversary. Whoever posted above that $1,500 is the starting point for premium watches is about right, I think.

This is so correct. Look at the range there: many different styles that have some character, as well as some tradiitonal type titanium watches, all at a decent price. Like the above quote says, invest in 2 - trust me you wont regret it.

Spent the past hour checking out nixon's watches and they are pretty sweat for the money. Anybody know where the cheapest place online is to get them?
