[Question] Are there any lifetime watches in the 800 - 1500$ range? (alien.top)

Looking to buy my first nicer watch in january to celebrate surviving my rather intense work schedule in december. Having fallen into the watch-youtube rabbit hole I'm not even sure I can call these pieces "nicer" but the ones I am liking at the moment are the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42mm, 42mm Murph and the Longines Conquest black dial. Looking for a daily driver that I can use for the next 10+ years. Is that even realistic in this price point?

Would also love recommendations in this price point for a big wristed feller.

I have been wearing a Casio Edifice EF 524 costing about 70€-ish and nine years and one battery change later, it still feels like it is going to go on for another nine.

So you can definitely expect a watch in the 800-1500$ range to last you 10 years if not for a lifetime. I'd suggest looking into Longines, Oris and Frederique Constant for that price point. Aesthetically I tend to lean heavily towards Oris but that is a personal preference. I think Longines HydroConquest is very suitable for your context.
