I know nothing about watches. Nothing. I have an Apple Watch but am interested in picking up something that I can wear in professional settings. I work in tech sales. Rolex’s are common in my industry but they scream douchebag to me. I want something that is well made and that will last. I don’t know watch brands but I’m hoping for something that is nice, will compliment a tailored suit or a blazer OR a black tshirt. And I want a brand that doesn’t scream that I’m trying too hard. TIA.

In contrast to many of the comments below I would suggest not buying a so-called “homage” (aka knock-off) from a fly-by-night micro brand. For around $500 or a few bucks more you can buy an automatic Tissot PRX, or a Hamilton with real watchmaking cred, real history and authenticity in their design. Most folks won’t care, but the IYKYK crowd will—and you’re supporting real design and authenticity.. just an alternate opinion. Also, look for pre-owned to save a few bucks and up the quality of what’s on your wrist..
