Agreed. And it gets really fun when you find out you can upgrade it as well. I installed a deployant clasp, a tapered leather strap, and a bronze case with a sapphire crystal on mine. Really makes the watch feel even more awesome

Casio gshock model 500A not the best looking but definitely the most practical at $80 bucks, with its multiband 6 feature, solar power, 200 meters water resistance, and of course shock proof. It will never let you down.

Seriously-under-the-radar suggestion or even a secret hint: Dugena Monza Chronograph from the 90s. It features an ETA quartz movement, a screw down crown, 100m of water resistance and is a true strap monster. I'm rocking a black dial version on a vintage style brown rallye leather strap. I love that thing!

For most people, including students, it's about looks and fashion. So get a simple quartz strap monster from a good brand (not the "fashion watch" junk), then concentrate on building a strap collection. The watches collection will come with time. For me it was Bulova 96B104 with a bunch of both "usual" and unusual straps. Got so much mileage from that thing. Live it looks way better than in pictures, dial is actually a very subtle champagne sunburst. I would occasionally get yet another 30-50 USD decent and interesting strap to totally transform it... (for example try a rich green/emerald leather... it's killer on this one). Then get another watch you like with the same lug width. Instant "large" and very versatile collection.
@NYGOLD3 ай бұрын
The Casio Duro is what I would have suggested to myself. They come in a bunch of different colors, you can mod the hell out of them, and best of all they are super cheap. You can buy 4 of them on a $200 budget. Great all around first watch. The only knock is if you are a smaller person with a tiny wrist they are on the large side at 44mm.

May be a little late, but the watches I will almost always suggest, are the Timex south street sport watch and the Timex Expedition Field. Both around $50, ones more of a dress watch (south street) smaller and lighter while the field is a thicker, more durable one with a chronograph.

If you mention the Boderry, then you can also throw in other AliX brands. Addiesdive AD2023-1 (Explorer 1016 design), or the Steeldive SD1970 Willard. Some Tandorio (if u don't like the name they have sterile versions without the brand name and logo).

I would tell myself to save an extra $100 and get a Tissot Gentleman in Quartz. That’s a HUGE jump in look, feel, experience for a small jump in price. Under $200, I’d tell myself to go get a Gshock DW5600 for $50 and a Bambino for $150. Perfect 2 watch collection under $200.

@@deepb249 I love Casio, I have several and buy them for people as gifts often. That said, I also have a Tissot watch and they are light years ahead of Casio in finishing, class, brand history. It’s like comparing a Lexus to a bicycle. A Lexus isn’t a Rolls Royce, but it is a very nice car. A bicycle is a great thing to have, very useful, but I wouldn’t ride my bike to a nice restaurant for dinner. I would drive there in a Lexus. It won’t be the nicest car in a fancy restaurant parking lot, but it is nice, it will fit in, and you will really enjoy driving it. That said I have a Lexus and a Bicycle. I love both for different reasons.
