hey guys, first time buyer here and i want to get a watch in the 500-600$ price range that i can wear on multiple occasions. i am thinking something 42mm because i have big hands and then maybe getting a a few straps that would go well with color matching on different occasions.

thank you for all the advice!

In my opinion the 500-600 range doesn't have great value, outside of some interesting microbrand options (Zelos, Farer, Traska, Baltic to name a few)

Until you reach $1-1.7k (Oris, Sinn, etc), there is far better value to be had in the $200-400 range.

If I were you I'd nab 2 watches: dressier watch on leather like an Orient Bambino or a Seiko Cocktail time, and a diver (bracelet/rubber) from Seiko, Orient, or maybe the Casio Oceanus line.

Personally think this will be a much more enjoyable entry into watches for you. If you're dead set on a single watch woth a ton of strap options, my rec based on what you're looking for is a PRX 40mm.
