[Question] Starter watch suggestions (alien.top)

Looking to spend ~$100-150 on a decent starter watch. Preference for something with a minimalistic face and leather strap.

Found this sub through an online review on MVMT and found out they are relatively poorly regarded and quality (despite strong marketing). Was hoping for some other simple suggestions.

Bonus points for any Black Friday suggestions as well.

Thank you :)

Dont hate me, but im going to say it. Invicta. Let me explain. LoL

They are right there in your budget. They have a nice weight to them. The automatics have the same movement as some seiko's. There are soooooo many options. They make SOME really nice looking watches. You're not going to impress watch snobs with any of the mentioned watches. Even orient is considered cheap. If you're buying them for you and not an investment, you should just get what you want and what you like. These are going to be your first few watches (whatever you get) and if you're not used to wearing a watch, you're going to scratch the hell outta it. You're going to get it dirty. It's going to be rough.

Invicta coppies allot of classic watches, but they do t hide the fact that they are an invica. They usually say it all over the watch.

Accuracy? Forget about mech watches. My smart watch is far more accurate and consistent than any mech watch out there. Even a $20 digital casio from walmart is more consistent than a rolex.
