How to buy quality watches under $200

When buying a watch in this price point your focus should on style and the value you get for your money. I know $200 may still be a lot of money, that’s why you need to make sure the watch will last years to come.

I’ll be frank with you the market is very saturated and there are a lot of brands which sell you filthy stuff. Be it poor quality materials, mediocre craftsmanship, and a design which looks old before it ages.

Many people believe that “affordable” and “luxury“ don’t go hand in hand very well. However, there are brands like Hamilton, Seiko, Timex, Citizen and Prime Ambassador of course, who gently slaps those rich snobs in the face.

And let’s face it spending tremendous amounts of money on a watch is stupid. If you are a normal person who’s looking to get value for his money, you have a lot of options. Some are simply better than others.

When it comes to buying classy watches under $200, you should always do it online. If you buy from a physical store, you might make the wrong decision since not every store has great employees.

Pictures this, you walk into a store. You see that beautiful looking lady. (They make sure she is good looking). She gives you a friendly smile and you start asking about the desired watch. The lady pulls out the box and starts presenting you the watch. Most likely all you get is obvious details or some bullshit she learned to say. The truth is that she has no idea about watches. You try to impress her and fall into her trap. And you end up buying a poor quality watch.

My point is this: the employees in the stores are trained to persuade you to buy from them and most of the time all you get is a bad deal. Buying online means you are in control and make decisions based on facts, not a fairytale you heard in some store. You can learn a lot about watches online by reading forums, blogs and so on covered by experts. All you need is time.

What to look for when shopping for cool watches under $200

Here are 6 things you need to focus on when buying:

1. Style

This should be your main focus when buying watches under $200, style is more important even than moving parts. Always look for the watch that gives you that “This is the one” feeling. And make sure it fits your lifestyle and the events you attend.

2. Look for Quartz Movement

The Japanese Quartz Movement is your best bet considering the price, you should buy Mechanical watches only if you’re ready to spend more. A lot more.

Mechanical movements are crafted by skillful watchmakers and generally are chosen over quartz when it comes to expensive luxury watches. They have an increased level of quality and craftsmanship.

But this doesn’t make quartz movements bad, even Swiss brands like Patek Phillipe use them in their watches. Quartz movements don’t require much maintenance, are very accurate and don’t cost a fortune.

3. Don’t buy used watches

Don’t even bother considering buying used watches in the entry level ($200-$500), from sites like eBay or similar websites. If you don’t have enough money simply save more and buy it new. Buying new guarantees the quality provided by the retailer. Second-hand? Not so much, it’s more of a gamble.

4. Keep it simple

Don’t buy watches engraved with stones, gems and so on. It will only make your watch look less expensive and unstylish. Stick with it something more simple. The bling-bling is not everything about a watch. A watch is something which reflects your personality and gives other the right impression about you.

Simple doesn’t necessarily mean bad.

5. Warranty

When shopping for watches make sure to look out for the warranty it is quite important. The retailer should offer at least 3 years warranty if you see anything else below that don’t even think to buy.

Popular sites like Amazon will warn you about it when the product is added to your cart. In some cases, the warranty is carried through Amazon itself. However, the warranty will not be a problem if you take good care of your watch. The only maintenance you’ll have to do is clean it and change the batteries from time to time.

6. Authenticity.

I think everybody wants their watches to be authentic. Am I right? If you don’t care much about it then you need to. Nothing is worse than buying bogus looking watches. That’s why we made sure to craft only unique watches under $200.
