Im going to post my thoughts and maybe some of you will understand

I want to buy a watch primarily to tell the time. I think it probably is more convenient than using a phone in your pocket. With this goal, youd want to buy something very accurate/durable/reliable, so quartz would be obvious.
What KIND of watch do you want to wear? Do you want to impress people or do you want to keep it as an accessory that doesnt define you? I dont like the idea of buying an expensive watch. It can be stolen and not recoverable. People may want to be around you solely because you have an expensive watch so maybe you have a lot of money so youre attracting snakes.
I think there are people who are snakes and just want to be around people with money, but there probably are genuine people who would actually appreciate your choice of watch and like that you put thought into it, but i think that they exist in far fewer numbers.
The answer would be a digital watch with a consumer brand like a seiko or citizen if we assumed all of this.
The point is that i dont want to attract someone to me that is impressed by a watch on my wrist. Do you understand what I mean? If you have two girls and you take each to dinner wearing either a casio or a rolex, and girl #1 reacts favorably with either, but girl #2 only reacts favorably once you have a rolex, you want girl #1 and girl #2 is a snake, gold digging whore. Why would I want to put myself on that parasites radar by wearing a rolex? Arent these seiko and citizen and casio watches supposed to be well made? They wont attract whores and if it's stolen, it wasnt expensive anyway. Youre less likely to have a knife or gun pointed at you if you wear a seiko/citizen/casio/timex instear of a rolex/patek/AP/omega etc

Does anyone have something to add or a thoughtful reply?

I just want a high quality timepiece. I don't want to be superior to someone because or something I bought. I want a watch that I can go into the pool with, have the equivalent of being run over by a truck, have mud all over it, and it still works perfectly for years. I want it to look good on me too, obviously. I don't care about brands. I just want a high quality timepiece. I recognize that Rolex is the only brand that people you meet will even notice and I don't want that anyway. I don't want my watch to be the center of attention. I want it to complement me. I don't want to spend much either, not even more than $500~~
