He would like something all black with a strap. I mainly need suggestions for brands that I can look into that would have a good watches in this range. I’d prefer something that has name value also I guess? And I’m kind of a noob and don’t really know much. Pls help! Thankyouu
Check Ben’s-Watch-Club in youtube for great reviews on affordable watches. He has a great list of options HERE There are tons of cheap Chinese watches but quality will vary a lot. He reviews all kinds of watches and filters out all the bad ones.
You can also check r/ChineseWatches for some recommendations. Some brands seems to like there are SanMartin and Steeldive
As most people will agree: Seiko, Orient, and Citizen are the most common options. Some examples
- THIS orient Kamasu FOR $240
- Any Seiko 5 (too many Seikos to mention all tbh)
It’s not a great brand but for $72 the Invicta Pro diver is a good watch for the price.
Boldr also has good options within your budget like THIS one for $299
Also: seagull 1963.

loving my new san martin sn0121. great watch for under $200, better than seiko sand orients for similar price range by a mile. i bought in watchdives.com fyi - they offer an extended warranty compared to ali express or buying from the manufacturer.
Looks great tbh. Dimensions?
39mm in diameter Lug to Lug 47mm Thickness 12.8mm Band width 20mm Weight: 152g
Wow that’s pretty good actually. Might have to look for one. Thanks!
