Braun Gents
Like its intended market, the Braun Gents watch is unfussy, masculine, and functional. The watch features a Japanese quartz movement, a streamlined dial, and a stainless steel case that is 38 millimetres in diameter and is water resistant to 50 metres.
The adjustable brown leather strap adds to its rugged appearance. The Braun Men’s Classic Analog Watch is the best option if you want a high-quality timepiece without breaking the bank.
Swatch Sistem51
With the Swatch Sistem51 collection, you’ll fall in love at first sight with its eye-catching designs on a rainbow of dial colours. In addition to its striking design, this watch features Swiss automatic movement, scratch-resistant acrylic crystal, a plethora of useful features, and a genuine black leather strap. We think the Swatch Irony Sistem 51 is one of the most reasonably priced watches available.
Nokia Steel – Activity & Sleep Watch
Even though you’re spending less than $200 on a top-tier watch, that doesn’t mean you can’t get cutting-edge features. For this purpose, you can rely on the Withings Nokia Steel. Not only is the dial of this watch incredibly well-designed and made from high-quality materials, but it also tracks your activity, keeps tabs on your sleep, and syncs with the Nokia Health Mate app on your smartphone. Furthermore, it’s arguably the best men’s watch you can buy for around AUD 164.
Swatch Clearly New Gent
The new Swatch New Gent has a fun, modern vibe that’s in keeping with its affordable price thanks to its transparent design and multicoloured dial. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t fashionable; it has a clear shiny case made of bio-sourced plastic and a clear TPU strap, which together capture elegance in the purity of time. You can’t go wrong with a well-known brand, and Swatch is a great option if you’re looking for a high-quality timepiece at a reasonable price.
Citizen Eco-Drive
Citizen’s Eco-Drive is the perfect everyday watch for contemporary enthusiasts because it is unrestricted in design and incredibly innovative in its engineering. Additionally, the solar-powered Eco-Drive movement is housed in a sleek 39mm case. This watch has everything you could want in a good, inexpensive timepiece under $200, including a highly legible dial, a green canvas strap, and 100 metres of water resistance.
Casio Edifice
Since Casio is already well-known for providing high-quality features at affordable prices, it comes as no surprise that the Edifice series lives up to that reputation. The imported sports watch is a harmony of Quartz movement, mineral crystal, and stainless steel, and it stands out thanks to its round dial with textured chronograph subdials. The cream dial against the black bezel of the pictured Ref. EFR526L-7A is a particular favourite of ours, but there is a wide variety of styles available in the Edifice series. If you’re shopping for a new watch, you can tell in an instant if this one is the one thanks to its great design and low price.
MONDAINE CLASSIC
Whoever said that you couldn’t buy a Swiss-made watch for less than £200 hasn’t looked into the options available to you. No sacrifices were made to make this Swiss watch affordable, and it looks great too. Inspired by the timeless and chic design of the clocks found in Swiss train stations, this one is simple to read and looks great doing it. The crystal glass protecting the dial is domed for magnification, and the case is water-resistant to three bars in polished stainless steel.
CASIO DW-5600BBN-1ER
In all seriousness, this Casio G-Shock is the best beater watch you can buy. Just throw it on and forget about it while you go about your day. Its durability is unparalleled, and its Black Out colour scheme is sleek and sophisticated. A band made of Cordura nylon, which is even more durable than regular nylon due to its high resistance to stretching, wear, and tearing, is included.
TISSOT EVERY TIME MEN WATCH
The perfect timepiece for the beginner photographer (or the person you’re trying to convert). The Swiss watchmaker Tissot is renowned for producing high-quality quartz timepieces. The timeless design is reflected in the watch’s clean, classic face and the fact that it appears to be sleeping. The unique “beads of rice” bracelet it is presented with is a bonus that we adore.
ROTARY OXFORD BLACK STAINLESS STEEL
If you want a timeless, reliable dress watch, look no further than Rotary’s Oxford. The black dial is perfectly proportioned, and the black calf leather band is supple and comfortable. Do you want to know who else uses a Rotary watch? As played by Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock Holmes wears one on his wrist.
G-SHOCK GD-100MS-3ER
G Shock is the brand to turn to when you need a durable item that won’t break under pressure. The case and strap of this inexpensive model are both made of matt green resin, and the mineral glass lens provides both style and protection. In practice, this translates to a watch that can withstand water depths of up to 200 metres and is also resistant to most explosions.
Assuming you’ve always wanted to join the SAS or become a survival expert like Bear Grylls, this watch is the first step on the road to achieving those goals. As simple as donning it, you’ll instantly feel more rugged. Numerous time zones, a stopwatch, a timer, and five alarms are also included, allowing you to time how long it takes to eliminate a terrorist cell after you wake up for your mission.
TIMEX EXPEDITION SCOUT
The Timex Expedition Scout is a stylish lightweight piece with an outdoor-oriented design aesthetic. Timex’s innovative Indiglo night light makes the face visible in any lighting condition. The variety of models was inspired by the nearly indestructible infantry watches of the 1960s and updated for the 1990s outdoor recreation boom.
CITIZEN DIVERS ECO-DRIVE WATCH (BN0151-09L)
If you want a high-tech watch without breaking the bank, look no further. If you’re a diver, you need a Citizen EcoDrive Dive watch. All day long, it keeps time thanks to Citizen’s ingenious EcoDrive technology, which can be charged by exposure to light of any kind (with a 7-year power reserve).
You can stop worrying about ever buying a new watch battery. As a true Divers watch, it is practical as well as aesthetically pleasing, with features such as a screw-down crown and screw-back case, luminous markers, a one-way rotating slide rule bezel, and highly legible dials.
