Nice watches are expensive. If you want a decent mechanical Swiss watch it is going to cost you about $500 on the very lowest-end. You should expect to spend $1,000 – $3,000 for most 'entry-level mechanical Swiss watches', and mid-range mechanical Swiss watches can go from $5,000 – $10,000 (or a bit more) these days.
A quality watch is at least made of Stainless Steel.A titanium or ceramic watch is harder / better, but those watches also have a more expensive price tag.
Tissot, which makes about one-sixth of the timepieces that Switzerland exports, has the advantage of bearing the Swiss-Made label, which commands higher prices due to its reputation for quality. It also has the backing of production powerhouse Swatch Group AG, which owns ETA, which sells components to third parties.
So no, expensive watches are not worth it. They don't keep very good time, and most are extremely expensive to service. Stick with a cheap quartz.
With most watch lines, the automatic movement usually costs more. But the main reason Seiko 5 models are so cheap hinges around their age. - The toolings and parts are entirely paid off, having been designed >20 years ago. - The manufacture of the movement is almost entirely mechanized.
They are said to be not just good but “great” and “awesome” even. While you won't get the high-end watchmaking or horological significance of a luxury Swiss watch brand, Citizen does deliver quality watches that are reliable and long-lasting.
The Value Of Good TasteThe most important reason why someone wants to wear a luxury watch is to demonstrate that they can afford it. The more inherent value a luxury item has (regardless of social perceived value) the more taste value it will have.
Luxury watches retain their value far better than mass produced watches or smart watches. Rolex, for example, has achieved this by building their brand, becoming a household name, creating high quality and durable watches and producing a limited number each year to increase demand.
- The INITIAL cost of a Rolex is SLIGHTLY Cheaper in Switzerland than in Scandinavia. - The VAT refund in Scandinavian countries is BY FAR more generous than that of Switzerland's, resulting in Scandinavia being "CHEAPER than Switzerland to purchase a NEW Rolex."
Tissot & Seiko watches are often compared. Tissot provides more luxurious watches that are designed to be the “belle of the ball”, while Seiko is quite known for their construction and durability. To get a better picture, we will be putting both these brands side by side, as well as their best timepieces in the market.
Put simply, Fossil is not a luxury watch brand.Their products are just fine, they simply don't live up to the rarified standards by which we judge luxury watches.

One of the factors to consider in choosing a watch is how well proportioned the watch is to your wrist and hand. If it's too big for your wrist, it will stand out and look garish; too small and it will look like you're wearing a lady's timepiece.
