So my girlfriend was looking into this watch from one of our local fashion brand, which has some of decisions on its design makes me feel cheap and lazy.

It has 42mm diameter and runs a quartz movement, probably a Miyota. 304 stainless steel strap and watch case, sapphire crystal and claimed to have ceramic bezel but idk; 2cm thick and 10atm water resistance, sells around $230.

She likes it mainly because of its colour and slightly busy watch face. Her wrist size isn't particularly large around 17~18cm, but she doesn't mind the large case like this. She prefer stainless steel strap but I can always buy her a spare one if it doesn't comes with.

I would like to know if you guys have any recommendation of watches in a similar style and price range. Either fashion brand or not, quartz or mechanics are fine. Just to give her more options. Thank you all!

Check out the Seiko SBTR Chronos. They are a similar style and can be found cheaper than that. They are a touch smaller than this example, but wear big and are a much better watch.

Check out paganidesign, pretty much all the same specs you mention (but real) but for a fraction of the price. if you wait till nov 11, they have a big site wide sale, so you can get it cheaper. they have tons of designs/variants and pretty much everything is under $100

Thank you! I've never thought of checking on Aliexpress. Will dig around this site!
