I told someone I paid $500 for a watch, they were shocked most people have no idea .

As much as I am a fanatic of the Seiko and Orient dive watches because they were, and still are, my gateway into the world of watches, I have to give my vote to Tom for bringing up some less obvious picks that I had not heard about before. Sorry Andrew! Thanks a lot for covering some affordable watches!

Who needs you guys when the man from Vincero guarantees he can sell me a quality watch for under $200?

My first proper 'luxurious' watch was a Casio duro. Even seiko's on special cost $400 here in Australia. I'm a college student and don't have cash to burn. For just under $200 AUD I got the blue dial 'bluro' and a decent Ali Jubilee bracelet. I love looking at this thing, and with a few other cheap Casio digitals (ca53, a168, f105) it's a nice little collection for under $350

For the money, it's hard to beat an Invicta Pro-Diver. I've bought 3 so far. Usually around 70-80 dollars. Grind the branding off, replace the dial and hands, sapphire crystal and you've got a nice looking watch, dependable watch for less than $200. I've been giving them away as Christmas gifts.

I'm not a pilot watch fan but I really like the look of the AVI 8. This watch looks as though it has been designed with the utmost care and attention to the details, therefore Tom gets my vote.

The Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB is the best value for money mechanical watch on this planet, purchased while discounted (sales occur quite often) at £68 in the UK. Prove me wrong.

For 200 USD you could buy four Casio Duro's of pure awesomeness 😋👍

I am happy to see that the Zeppelin GMT is showcased here. I own one of those and I really like it.

I love my invicta Prodiver, it's a lot of watch for the money and can take the punishment of everyday wearing

[ivansakal]

Bought my Pro diver last black friday, good stuff
It has few issues like rotating bezel getting stuck if not being used and questionable precision on some day of the month, but apart from that lovely watch

[roachasaurus]

I can vouch for the Orient. I bang it around all the time and the glass has yet to scratch. It's a good daily.

I'd like to add the Citizen ProMaster Eco-Drive BN0150-10E. In basic black, ISO certified true dive watch, and under $200. Great spec to price ratio, and taking over where the SKX left off.

[FurkanCemTurfanda]

That Invicta is ALWAYS $100, and goes on sale for $60-80. Buy one, slap a good bracelet on there and it is a great watch.

[ChefDaveKrul]

Absolutely love the Geckota, such a nice finish and couldn’t take my eyes off it when you showed it with the leather strap, what a lovely watch

[declinox]

Really like the Geckota and the Avi-8. Thanks for the great watch selection, and the insightful (and funny) commentary!

[adammordo]

I would’ve gone with the Kamasu V1 instead of the Ray, now that you can readily find them for under $200 with a little bit of digging. Because of that, I’m gonna have to give the win to Tom this time. The Q Timex GMT and the GM2100 were both very strong recommendations.

[JackoFrenchtonDoggo]

They have those Invicta Pro Divers at my local Sams for $90. Might get one just to abuse at work

[williamthomas]

The LZ127 was the number for the Graf Zeppelin, which was the most successful Zeppelin ever built and was retired, not reduced to a pile of charred aluminum in New Jersey. Naming it the LZ129 would have been tragic. Both the LZ126 and LZ127 were "retired" and did not meet "disastrous" ends.
