Garmin

4.3
(26)
"Killer battery life, tons of features…miles ahead of an Apple Watch."
·
"Love it, it does exactly what you’re looking for and more."
·
"I now own a Fenix 7 and would definitely bring it on a future thru."
·
"Any garmin will be just fine. I have the Fenix 7."
·
"Battery life is great."
·
"Super worth it lalo na newbie runner lang din."
·
"Has all those above and more op"
·
"Anything from Garmin, for sure. Vivomove, vivoactive, venu..."
·
"Seconding Garmin - I’ve had mine for several years and had a Fitbit before that. The accuracy is decent (even better with the chest strap for exercising), the sleep algorithm is garbage but all smart watches have that problem (it’s good at telling how long I was horizontal though lol), and the body battery feature is excellent! Strong recommend!"
·
"Garmin Instinct 2. Good deals on it right now as the 3 is coming out."
·

"Orient Kamasu, Orient Bambino, Casio of your choice, bam done forever."
·
"Orient Kamasu, Orient Bambino, Casio of your choice, bam done forever."
·
"Dress watch - Orient Bambino"
·
"Get an orient from Amazon.jp or watchtopia"
·
"I'd suggest Orient Kamasu as it has so much value for that price point."
·
"Id say Orient Bambino! 100%."
·
"Orient Bambino para dress watch."

Tissot

4.1
(17)
"The Tissot Gentleman is the Oyster Perpetual of the average man. Stunningly beautiful and precise. 80 hour power reserve is also bonkers for that price range."
·
"I actually love the Gentleman and it has a leather strap. It turns out to be one of my best watches. The blue really stands out."
·
"Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (~₹65k, again a bit above 60k but rugged, classy and handsome)"
·
"Take a look at Tissot (a few models) and Seiko Presage."
·
"For me tissot gentleman"
·
"Theoretically, the Tissot Gentleman is the best because it carries one of the highest-end calibers within the PW80 group. But all of them are very good options. Choose the one you like the most"
·
"Tissot Gentleman has a better movement (higher grade version of the same movement in the other three unless I’m mistaken)."
·
"It's all very subjective, but Tissot Gentleman is your safest bet."
·
"Both Tissot watches look good. Nice green."
·
"I’d go with the Tissot Gentleman if it were my choice. You might also want to look at the Longines Conquest."
·

Timex

3.9
(16)
"I LOVE this Timex. Perfect with jeans."
·
"If you mainly like accurate timekeeping, you could go for a quartz watch from Timex (Marlin) and Casio (Oceanus T200)."
·
"Is this something you'd like? Out of stock right now, but still Timex"
·
"For field watch aesthetic the timex weekender is your best bet in this budget"
·
"Check timex expedition it's around 3.5k on Flipkart"
·
"In India you can always go for timex and casio."
·
"Timex marlin"
·
"Timex Expedition. Best value at the bottom ... Maybe a bit above 100 but surely worth it."
·
"I think Timex has great watches that last a long time."
·
"Lots of edifice and timex out there."
·

Citizen

"If you can find a citizen eco-drive you like within your price range, that would be the best option for an everyday watch."
·
"Daily - Citizen Tsuyosa"
·
"Check out the Citizen Tsuyosa line."
·
"Look for any citizen eco-drive you like and can find within your budget."
·
"The common options at that budget are Seiko Presage, Hamilton (Khaki Field/Auto), and Citizen eco-drive."
·
"Jomashop has Citizen Tsyuoshas for under $200 on some models. I would go with that."
·
"Choice would be bambinos or eco drives."

"Citizen tsuyosa."

Visible

"I got Visible for CFS/ME and that's actually what started me on the road to my (probably) POTS diagnosis."
·
"I would recommend visible, it’s incredibly accurate- I was hooked up at the hospital twice and looked at my hr on the app at the same time and it was exactly the same."
·
"I've had visible for 2 months and it's been invaluable. Worth the subscription cost."
·
"Absolutely love mine and highly recommend it."
