I don't really have any watches other than an Apple watch but I was interested in getting one, I was thinking of one that would be nice to wear when going out to a special event, something that looks dressy. I don't wanna spend too much though preferably around $100 and under but if there are some around like $150 I'll be interested in taking a look as well though. So please if you have any suggestions on cheap watches could you let me know, Thanks.

Orient Bambino is the only correct choice here, It is a little out of your budget but its worth it, there's a ton of variety and something for everyone. The sun and moon (RA-AK0008S10B) is my personal favourite.

Casio mts100, mts110

Merkur - Piere Paulin dress watches (handwind only)

Shanghai 8120 (handwind only)

You could also ask in r/Chinesewatches. In this price range there are other options there like the cadisen c1032 or something from berny and others.

If you are in the US get a citizen eco-drive you like from the officialwatchdeals store on ebay. They have a few bellow $100.

Casio Watch EFR-S108D is a banger for the money but a quartz watch. But people actually come forward and ask me about it.

For this budget I would recommend to ignore Orient, Seiko, etc.

I’d but on an online auction (eBay or any other alternative) a second-hand piece from Certina, Tissot or Hamilton. Proper basic reliable automatic.

It’s usual to buy second-hand watches if it’s in acceptable condition.

Some watches from Orient, Seiko 5 sports, Timex, Citizen Eco Drive, Casio and Vostok fall in this range.
