Who makes decent watches $100-200 ?

[M4rtin 0]

Looking to buy my parents watches, nothing fancy, as long as it's easy to read, not automatic so they don't have to wind it.

Budget is around $100-200 per watch, and looking for some recommendation on some brands.

What pops in my mind is Seiko, Citizen, Orient, Invicta, Stuhrling.

Anything else you could recommend ?

Why not 2 reliable quartz reps? Those are reliable and different at least. One 33mm Ladies and another 39mm Gents quartz AP Royal Oak without ticking seconds

I think I'd prefer to stick to genuine for this, also needs a nice box and packaging.

Seiko all the way mate.

Seiko all the way mate.

+1

 

However I did buy my mother a really nice Channel quartz. I think she's had it 3 years with no issue.

I think for non watch enthusiasts Quartz is the only way to go as most non-watch people just get pissed off at having to set their watches regularly (if not wearing all the time).

 

As others have said there are a bunch of Seiko, Citizen, Orient etc and Island Watch sell all of them and a bunch of micro brand watches as well many of which are quartz and under $200.

 

I bought my Messerchmitt pilot for around $150 and I love it and most come in a nice presentation box.

Seiko, there are a whole heapo f nice Seiko 5 on sale in many places for well under 200 and sometimes even under 100.

Any there any particular styles or features/ complications that you have in mind? Seiko is definitely the top of the list genuine watch maker on a budget.

The never ending Sieko is the answer question.

Gotta be Seiko in this price bracket whether Quartz or mechanical.

I'd suggest to give a look to creationwatches site, there you have a very good choice for very good prices (and all gens).

[Genius 281]

Rotary and Bulova are both worth a look too

Ooh nice, what size is this ?

I'd say go for dress watches, those are usually better with the older folks. Maybe the sarb line?

I was thinking for father (65) something like this, easy to read. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KQ2IFX6/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

But I was also thinking about Aquadiver but not sure if he'd like it https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007Z0BUY8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB

 

For mother (63) my wife was looking and she liked these

That's a good deal for the Seiko!

[Rolexwatchman 0]

Maybe Zinvo watch?

Air Blue watches are nice. Seiko NH35 movements...

Lots of autos in the 100-200 range there. I own an Airblue 41mm Pilot. It has great Lume.... Here's a shot.

Like I said in my OP nothing automatic, gonna stick to Quartz for these ones I think.

Bought this Seiko SUR758 for my mother-in-law.

 

Will be buying this Seiko SNKN47 for father-in-law, as soon as I figure out where to get this here in Canada for decent price.

[Theduke.williams 1,053]

Seiko every time at this price point.

 

Just some suggestions from Creation watches, probably the best price for genuine watches;-

Being solar, the back doesn't need to come off to replace batteries, so the waterproofing needn't be compromised.

 

Hope your search goes well - why not follow up this thread with pictures when you've made your choice.
