Best watches in $200 range

[Grape Ape]

What the fuck is a jumble sale?

[Sokolsky]

Some wear watches for appearance and others appreciate the fine mechanics. You can get beautiful looking watches for $500 if you know where to go.  Then there's the status watch by going for the big name brand then there's watches known for prime mechanics that attract me.  It's all a personal choice.

Agreed, fine mechanics are what makes a watch (and clocks) hence why I'm not at all interested in digital/smart watches.

The thing I hate the most are the big fucking watches that are bejewled.  Look dumb.

I don't consider excessively decorated watches as being a clockwork anymore, rather they're pieces of jewelry that just so happen to have a dial.
Though they could be as intricate as they come, bejeweled watches don't spark my interests really.

to look at the clock on the wall is not hard

Where are you that there is always a clock near by?

I like a watch like a woman a good face is the key,,and that can come in a 200$ or 1000 to me again all it needs is a good face..

charity shop where everyone takes old clothes, if you only care about fine food you should be shopping there and buying old suits and second hand clothes.

You've got a weird perspective on consumer behavior, but of course you're free to express that.

My budget doesn't (yet) go so high. Currently have a TagHeuer WK1110 and a Casio PRW6000YT-1AER.
Planing to buy a TagHeuer Link Senna 2004 (CJF2113), always joked to my dad I'd take his followed by his response I'd have to pry it from his cold-dead hands, but I rather not wait that (hopefully) long. Absolutely gorgeous watch.

You don't go outside? Every room you're in has a clock?

Bullshit.

I've been at a conference all week. Not a clock in the building.

of course I go outside-and yes I have never had an issue checking the time-I live by a bank with a big sign that has the time and temp displayed-cars have the time inside them-I also check the time before I go out so I always have an idea of what time-or I just check my phone or ask someone-actually my whole life I have been in rooms that all have clocks
I'm sure there were clocks where u were u just didn't see them

I have been collecting watches for years and have some that are 70 years old but my daily watch is a Fossil I got from my kids for my birthday 2 years ago at their store at universal Orlando. I think it was $150. Fuckin excellent watch. Looks very like this one.

Im just using your logic against you regarding only caring about buying quality food.

I'm probably exaggerating about the entire building, but the conference floor did not and the individual breakout session rooms also had none.

Was there one by the security desk or something? Possibly, but nothing while you just walk around or do sessions.

then you should have paid attention to the clock before you went in the clockless room
That is your fault and does change the fact that watches are worthless

[DroppingPlates]

This discussion makes no sense. Everyone with a phone knows how late it is.

[El Diablo Blanco]

The problem with watch buyers are the ones that go beyond their means.  If you can only afford $200 then that's fine and there are a lot of nice watches in that range.  it's the ones that can only afford $200 but then leverage debt to buy a $5000 Rolex because they think it will make their $30 shirt and shorts look better.  Watches start at $5 and go up to millions just like wine, scotch, cigars, cars etc...  You buy what you can afford and be happy.

EDB soapboxing valuable life lessons in this thread

can you give me some more examples of things you hold "truly relevant" that you spend money on apart from food?

[illuminati]

Only on things that are truly relevant to me, quality food for example

There you go -- You Spend your £ on what is relevant to you.
Likewise others spend their £ on what is relevant to them.

The relevant items may well be very different to each & everyone of us.
Dose not mean one is better than the other.

In the case of food clearly that is a basic life necessity - Though You Could Buy Very Basic & Cheap Food.
That's the Point you chose to Spend £ on Good Food.
Others Spend on Good Watches.
