    The Orient and Citizen watches are actually quality time pieces, The Seiko 5, Orient Bambino and several Citizen Eco Drives are actually often recommended as an entry into watch collecting, Rolex and Omegas are not always necessary for a good collection, it's usually about the company and their history, Citizen for example is a reputable Japanese watch maker that uses in house quartz movements used in other, more expensive time pieces (Citizen makes the Miyota movement that you may see on the description of some watches), Orient is an independent subsidiary of Seiko Epson Corp that also makes their own in house movements (in this case automatic), Seiko makes great watches at all price points, including the skx809 that retails for around $50 and manufactures the widely used NH movement. Haute Horology isn't about the price point, it's about heritage, even a $30 Timex has heritage behind it since Timex is a respected brand among enthusiasts. Cheap watches are great man! Just please don't spend them on fashion watches, those are worth much less than the price even at deep discounts. The Orient is definitely a great bargain though.

I like citizen watches and find Timex watches dated looking. To each his own. Maybe these " history oriented " watch companies should make interesting designs and bring their expertise not just to a few bambinos or indiligos. Well, to each his own. I'd get a Seiko 5, but those cost triple their selling price in US

      Bingo. I heard that brands like MVMT and Daniel Wellington just bulk buy $5 Chinese watches, re-packages and sells them for $100+. Some even have plastic movements. My advice is stay away from fashion watches. They’re typically junk, and for the same money you can get into a great Seiko, Orient, or Citizen, even Casio has some really cool offerings with great tech for not a ton of money. There’s definitely a difference between “cheap” and affordable.

    They are NOT cheap for its value. In fact they are too expensive made in China quartz watches with designers badge on the dials. If you want inexpensive but great quality watch, get seiko SARB/SARX/SARG series. Or if you into diving watch get Seiko SBD series like sumo, shogun, tuna etc. I'd rather get a G-SHOCK $200 watches than any of those. At least it will last maybe 20 years or more.

    I own Omegas, Rolexes, and Seikos. My opinion is that there is nothing wrong with an inexpensive watch IF it is from a respectable brand like Seiko, Citizen, Orient, Hamilton, Bulova, Victorinox or Tissot. However, fashion watches like Fossil, Burberry, Lacoste, MK or any other designer are absolute garbage. These are low quality quartz movements in low quality cases made in China by underpaid workers that simply have a designer name on the dial. Instead of getting a bunch of crappy designer watches, get yourself a decent Seiko or Hamilton Mechanical watch for $200 to $500 - it will last a lifetime.

      Contrary to popular belief, you DON'T have to spend $1000 or more for a decent quality timepiece. The problem with these overpriced "fashion" watches -- i.e. Michael Kors, Gucci, Kenneth Cole, etc -- is that they are cheaply mass produced in China using basic quart movement, and then sell them at a ridiculously marked up prices. Just do a little research on watches and you'll appreciate the history of horology. There are many reputable online retailers that you can buy watches from heritage brand that are a fraction of their retailer prices. I just recently purchased a Hamilton Chronograph from around $550 that is retail at $1,200 or more.
      Don't spend $150 on a Daniel Wellington, MVMT, Vincero, Fossil, or any other "fashion watches", and then throw them away 1 or 2 years later because their build quality are terrible. Use that $150 to buy yourself an entry level automatic mechanical movement from Seiko, Orient, Citizen, or any other mid range Swiss heritage brand. Some of their entry level automatic watches are now less than $100. Better yet, don't spend $300 for two fossil watches, instead, use that money to buy a Sarb series from Seiko or other watches in the same price range. These watches will last you for over 25-30 years, and with a little tune up, you can pass it down to your children as a memento item. That's what timepieces are for.

      +Maxx Chewning, I completely agree with you here. I've started collecting a couple of "cheap" watches that look just like their expensive counterparts and I've gotten so many compliments. I've been rocking a gold on black oversized watch with a black fake leather band for 5 months now and it turns heads. $12.88

    You can get a ton of Orient or Seiko automatic watches that are horologically respectable easily between 70- 200 dollars. Ex Orient Banbino (150 ish), Seiko SNK809 (50-70). There is no need for a cheap watch to be just a fashion watch

    if you stop calling them cheap watches and start calling them what they are - reasonably priced watches, you'll go a long way toward legitimizing your collection in the haters eyes. There's nothing at all wrong with a reasonably priced watch as long as it does the job for you you want it to do. More power to you on your watch journey! Oh, and an Orient Bambino (about $130) is as much watch as 95% of people will ever need - it is such a good watch!

Also learning about them, how they work, maintain them and being able to change straps and the feeling of having a totally different watch every time. Keep enjoying your horology, I enjoy mine as well!!!

    Instead of having many 20-500$ watches I would recommend buying one decent mechanical watch.

Buy Swiss made, automatic or manual wind, and if it is affordable it is not worth it. In watches quality always goes before quantity.

Companies that make clothes will sell anything and stick their brand on them to make a buck. Those are $10 watches with burberry/Armani etc written on them, and I know you got them cheap on eBay. Anything Seiko, Casio G shock (GW5000-1jr) Tissot, Swatch (sistem51) are better choices. And personally I would rather have 1 good watch then loads of cheap ones.

I know watch lovers that have high-end stuff that will also have a G-shock. Also the sistem51(black model) has respect. Apple watch is cool. Go to Amazon and type Seiko in, might be better off with a quartz unless you are prepared to deal with idiosyncrasies of an auto at that price range.

    I agree with most of what you’re saying. I started out buying a style watch (MVMT), which I knew was overpriced but I liked the look. 2.5 yrs later, it still works and keeps excellent time, though it’s falling apart! The big thing with these style watches (MVMT, Daniel Wellington, etc) is that most of them cost several times what they’re worth and can be found much cheaper on eBay or under a different name on Amazon if you’re willing to look.
    I’ve moved on to buying better watches though I can’t afford the likes of Rolex, Breitling and Omega, but there are lots of good quality watches for very reasonable prices. Orient, Timex and Seiko all make good watches started at about $30! You can, if you like, have a nice quality collection for $100 each. It just depends on what you want. I absolutely agree with you that people should buy watches they like within their budget, and laugh in the face of any watch snob who criticizes your choices!

    Words of wisdom ✊🏽. A watch is never cheap if you hold it in high value .

    Orient are great watches. Very well made with Japanese pride.
    The dress watch range is on point. That to the divers range. Possibly the best bang for buck for quality. And citizen are a very trusted name in watches.

      I have 3 great looking watches from China, each between $20 - $40 including shipping. Are they great quality, hell no. Do they look great make me glad I have them and get compliments, hell yeah. I don't even care if the time stays accurate(though they do), to me they are jewelry(the only kind of jewelry I wear) and I use my cellphone if I need to know the exact time.

    I want to get a watch but I'm not very knowledgable of them either. I'm a female and like simple designs (leather bands, preferably black; gold casing; black dial). Any suggestions???? Please don't give me anything past $200
