[Question] Very new to buying a watch, any recommendations under $150? (alien.top)

I'm very very very new to buying a watch so brand doesn't really matter to me. I wanted to know what some of your favorite watches are (under $150) and why! I'm looking to purchase one soon and open to buying a used one if need be. I'd be using it daily just pretty casually. I don't love silver bands but I'm open to it if the watch itself is really nice!

Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

If you are new to watches, make sure you understand the difference between a quartz watch and an automatic (mechanical). A good video talking about the strengths and weaknesses of each

Ty! Just watched it and it was definitely helpful

I’ve found quartz watches to be way more enjoyable. If you don’t care about what makes it tick and just want an accurate and not too heavy watch, quartz is the way to go. Usually much cheaper as well.
