Hi guys, my birthday is coming up and I can get a watch for USD 300 and under. Currently have a GShock and Armani dress watch, what watch would be nice to add my collection? For context, I’m 18M, currently thinking a Moonswatch (Neptune) and change the strap. Thoughts or any recommendations?

I posted this on another thread so I'd just copy + post it here word for word:

With your budget, I'd go with quality more than "brand" recognition and Islander Watches punches way above their weight.

I'd suggest:

  • Islander Manhasset 36mm Automatic - $285, 36mm, automatic NH36 movement, sapphire crystal w/ AR coating, sapphire display case back, milled clasp, timeless design and should fit any situation. Can't think of another watch that ticks all the boxes or is better for this price.
