What watch should I get?

The only watch you'll ever need bro, I got you. Worn by professional athletes, swimmers, scuba divers around the world.

You'll get the proper respect because everyone knows a big ol' fancy watch is just going to get lost while you're base jumping and hitting the slopes and if you wear one of these bad boys you're serious about life.

First of all, what style of watch?

Diver or dress watch? Vintage or modern?

How much do you care about the movement? Swissmade, German or Japanese made? Mechanical or quartz? Inhouse made or ETA movement?

What about the utilities? Date, day, GMT, chronograph, moonphase etc.

Do you care about the history and legacy of the brand?

But generally at that priceclass I suggest you look at Omega (swissmade, ETA mechanical movement), and Longines, and maybe some good quality Seiko (Japanese inhouse made movement) watch from the Presage line if you dont care about your watch being swissmade

Edit: omega is out of your priceclass unless you buy vintage/second hand

We won't tell you what to get because TRP is to promote free thought and independence. Do what you want bro and if you can't figure out something so basic on your own then you're fucked.
