[Recommend] A good looking watch for events and business under $400? (alien.top)

Looking for my first watch to go into business meetings and events that will go well with a suit or just dress shirts and jeans. Looking to spend $400 max, ideally less. Best bang for buck watch that still looks really good.

"Smaller" and thinner cases will read more as a dress watch. Around 38 mm in my opinion is the best "dress" size case; I have ~7" wrist. Wrist size and case shape will matter though so let that be secondary. Dials can be colorful just not busy. If you stay with a neutral dial you'll have more room to play with different strap colors.

In addition to other suggestions:

There is a lot of variety in the Seiko 5 SNK/SNX watches for not a lot of money. I have a SNXF05 on a black ostrich strap and it looks very nice for ~$200 watch + strap.

Ill second the Citizen Tsuyosa also. Its a nice looking watch.

Didn't see automatic as a requirement so Quartz Tissot PRX is also a classic around the $300-400 range if you look around.
