Best value watches

more_vert
There are tons of companies making excellent watches that offer high value per dollar to the buyer. This doesn't always mean the watch itself is “cheap”; more that it greatly outperforms its price. Examples include watches like the Orient Bambino, Seiko SARB033, Nomos Tangente, and more.
What are some of the best values in watches today?

Anyways, thanks for sharing the nice piece of stuff with us.

I own this watch and love it. It's very classic in design, yet not in the sub 36mm range that a lot of vintage watches are. Depending on what strap you put on it, it can be very casual or dressy. It hand winds and the crown is easy to grip. It hacks and is very accurate.

I'm super happy with my Orient bambino

However for the money I think the Steinhart is exceptional, keeps excellent time, the bezel clicks more solidly than my seamaster professional and it just looks far more expensive than it actually is. So many things I like about this watch. Only complaint is the lack of applied indices or even logo just to give it some depth

Thanks for the feedback! Got your point about the index, some people like it, some dislike it, we will have to find something less controversial on the next one. Cheers

This is my first Orient watch, Sun&Moon Version3 with hand winding and hacking and I couldn't be happier with it. The detail in the dial is one of my favorite features.

No love for Edox? Clean & simple Swiss autos for $250-300 right now on Ashford, with some more elaborate models for a bit more.. I've been happy with my $120 quartz Les Vauberts from a few years ago.

I know I'll probably get strangled for this one, but apart from the usual suspects you guys already mentioned, I'd like to add Invicta to the mix, specifically their Pro Diver line. Yes, I know, it's a sub-ripoff, but then again, Invicta isn't exactly subtle in its branding.
As said, value depends on taste, but if you like divers and can get over the similarities to the Sub, the stigma of the brand and the weak tritium, it's one heck of a bargain: Mine costs 69€ on amazon, has a hackable, windable movement with a custom rotor and a screw-down crown. And it runs at - 7s/day.
Just be prepared for some QC issues, just as with Vostok.

This sounds like the beginning of an auto vs. quartz discussion lol
For automatics, Orient and Seiko are hard to beat. Some great deals can be found from certain micro brands though.
Value is based on what you are looking for and what you have to work with
I believe a great argument could be made for solar watches, as they do not require constant wear to ensure accuracy, batteries last MUCH longer than a traditional quartz, and they can even be designed for high accuracy designs if you want to pay for it!
