To me, the most striking feature of this dial is that beautiful turquoise color – something you almost never see on dive watches. This Vostok Amphibia 710059 is affectionately called the “Scuba Dude” because of the drawing on the dial. On to something completely different: a Russian dive watch.Ĭall it funky, quirky, or downward weird… but you can’t call it boring. There’s something exhilarating about wearing such a great piece for such a low price… you’ll know what I’m talking about the moment you put it on your wrist! Now, don’t take my word for it: check out the thousands (!!!) of 4+ stars reviews on the Internet. Now, to provide so much value with such a low price, they had to cut some corners – like using a rattly bracelet or sub-par lume.īut this is no deal-breaker to me, because the build quality and value for money is excellent.

This design will probably ring a bell… that’s because this Invicta Pro Diver is an affordable homage to the Rolex Submariner. The movement can’t hand-wind or hack, and you’ll probably want to change the strap for something more substantial – like a leather strap for example.īut there’s no denying that, given the design and cool factor of this watch, the value proposition is simply through the roof.
Being smaller, this one will fit any wrist up to 7.5 inches in circumference. Most pilot watches have a case size of 42+ mm. Sure 37 mm is not huge, but that’s actually something I would list as a pro. When it comes to the design, everything just works.Īnd this is no accident: this is a full-fledged pilot watch, complete with a super legible dial, no-nonsense case… and a small 30 m of water resistance. hours indices on the inner part of the dial.big Arabic numerals in 5 minutes increments.simple, yet striking sword hands – probably the most precise hand set available ever.But you would never think that is one is the cheapest of this list.Īnd that probably comes down to the attention to detail that went into creating this design:
For a reason: Seiko manufactures a lot of great affordable automatic watches.Īnd this one being part of the affordable Seiko 5 line, it certainly is. Seeing a Luminox for sale for $2000 is just preposterous.You’ll see more than one Seiko watch in this list. I think they need to fix that recent downturn in their reputation before they will be able to convince folks that they are capable of producing an automatic watch worthy of a $200-300 price tag.Īnd on that note- No one will ever be able to convince me to buy a Luminox again- even at their standard $200-300 price range. A lot of reports of crowns falling off, etc. No matter what you put inside it, or how you dress it up- the instant assumption of the casual observer will be that you are sporting a $30-50 watch.īut vanity aside, the trend with quartz Timex watches over the past decade seems to be higher price tag, and yet worse quality control. Therefore I don't think I could ever bring myself to purchase one of their automatics for $200-300. I think for most people, seeing that Timex logo on the dial screams "$30-50 watch". That being said, I have never considered them to be in the same class as more expensive entry-level automatic watches (Citizen, Seiko, etc). They can be replaced every few years without much guilt. JanuI love Timex watches- They are solid, beater watches that keep up with the looks of current watch trends.
