nothing wrong with a timex. they're on the lower end of expense so give a rough estimate for what you want to spend.

There's a reason those subdials and date are so closely grouped together, it's not a conscious design choice it's because that movement was meant for far smaller watches.

TPGA-90731-85M (I don't know if you could get it in your area though)

The Weekender is a good watch for it's price. I've heard it described as a "god-tier inexpensive watch." Although it does tick pretty damn loud, I think the pros outweigh the cons. From most people that own it, I hear that it's loved and its love only increases with time. At that price I can't see you going wrong with getting a Weekender.

how advanced is it if sub par componentry is used, costs are cut and the tolerances are wide/loose

The Chinese watch subforum on WUS has some information on them. Looks like they use nice quality, reasonably decorated Seagull movements, and are quite well built for what they are. I'd presume they're as good as any big box Seiko, Orient, or anything else around that price range considering how much some of them cost.

>>9082117
You can get one for 1-3K usually, but keep this in mind: If you drop it, it shits itself, or just needs something replaced come service time, you're gonna be shit out of luck with getting a local watch maker doing it. It's neat as a gimmick sorta thing, but nobody has direct replacement parts for the Seagull tourby movement that a lot of them use.

These threads are always interesting because there isn't a lot of knowledge on actual mechanical watches. At least practically.

Everyone talking about high end watches obviously haven't owned one for long enough to know the costs in servicing them.

Tourbillions are no exception. To service one you need a watchmaker who knows their shit, there isn't actually that many around and if it's a swiss made one it often has to be sent back and takes fucking weeks to get one done.

Until you get into DLC coating or shit like that you can guarantee the finish isn't going to last as long as the watch. Maybe longer than a year (on a non-fashion watch at least) but not as long as it should.

As >>9088854 said, most watch people go for mechanical watches, saying they have more soul to them. Be aware watches are not simply time telling utilities but social and aesthetic statements. Having a cheap utilitarian casio tells something about you. Having an expensiv-as-fuck patek phillip puts you into the wealthy-and-classy or wealthy-and-tryhard category, depending on your appearance.
First thing to think about is for what purpose you want to have it. Formal/dress, casual, freetime activities? What design/aesthetical statement do you want to convey? Bauhaus, timeless classics, vintage classics, modern interpretation of vitage classics, modern minimalism, timeless classics, hightech, ...? Do you want to make a social status claim by having a original or can it be a cheap knock-off?
Chinese mech watches start around 200€, non-chinese mech watches start around 600€. In my opinion you should only pay more than 200€ for a quartz watch if you really want something made by that specific known designer.

For dresswatches:
The strap sould be leather, matching your shoes, or metal. No plastics. Should be mechanical. The color scheme should fit your suite and other jewelry, if present. Keep it discreet.

For casual:
Can be anything, pick whatever you like. Think about price point, design statement and social statement.

For sports/recreation activities:
pick something practical that can take a beating. This watch won't be a status symbol, dressy watches will look out of place.

[Anonymous No.9091884]

>>9091879
Technically speaking, watches should be legible, meaning they should have enough contrast to be readable (especially regarding minimalist watches).
The visual business of the dial should match your dress style and personality.
The dial should be visually balanced, look at pointer thickness, pointer shape, color distribution, typeface if it has numbers on it, ...
If you want your watch to scream "I'm an art critic!!" you can go for eccentricity, otherwise please don't.

My personal opinion:
Don't be a tryhard and by one of those oversized watches.
Don't by the minimalist watches, they are impractical and the signal that you thought about which watch to wear but that you didn't educate yourself enough to by a decent watch.
