Stainless steel case with a stainless steel bracelet
I have bought from Jomashop twice and posted Jomashop deals, so not downvoting. But with all these sponsored deals, shouldn't there be a note that they are grey market? I always mentioned the warranty by seller if posting. The average slickdealer is only going to look at the price. Are other grey market goods like cameras and electronics now allowed without mentioning it?
Finally... a watch that's sub 40mm popping up here. They have quite a few others in similar price ranges. I didn't test the "GOOGLE5" coupon on those https://www.jomashop.com/search?q...Series%205

Certainly true... not really sure how the previous poster arrived at the bizarrely specific and wildly inaccurate assumption that the only reason someone would want more than 30m water-resistance in an inexpensive everyday wear item is because they like to take long, hot, steamy, showers with their watch... (and really, really, not interested in finding out.) Suffice to say, bathing with a steel bracelet sounds like a potentially painful experience for both the wearer and the watch.
Some people live in areas where they are constantly near, on, or in the water. Some people live in areas where the humidity is extremely high and sudden downpours are a common occurrence. Things get wet and humid and stay wet and humid. If you're riding your motorcycle and you hit a patch of rain, I don't think Seiko would suggest blasting a 30m watch with water at 55 mph. If you're over at your friends house and he says "Hey, let's take the boat out", you may end up dashing for home through the rain and spray to outrun a squall. Now sure, there are special watches that I think deserve to be proactively sheltered from these types of occurrences. Obviously if you KNOW you're going to get soaked/dirty/muddy then just leave your nice watch at home (hello, Casio), but a $100 daily driver watch isn't something I want to have to plan my day around, leave at home when it's cloudy, or be the "Hey wait, I have to go put my precious watch in the car..." guy while the group is headed out to the dock.
You're pretty much spot on, but I thought this kind of stuff was what the $100 watch was for, so you can leave the "nice" watch at home when you're out chasing adrenaline . I guess "nice" and "cheap" are relative.
I really like a Fossil I have, and it's attractive, but I still wouldn't call it a "nice" watch, even if it's the nicest one I own.
Very helpful information! I should have noted that I do prefer an automatic. My price point is up to $500.
Well that would get you much farther than the $100 or so here. I might be in the minority, but I'd split it between two decent autos instead of a single watch for both formal and casual scenarios.
The orient kamasu hits $180 from time to time, and is a well-specced diver for the $. The remaining $320 gets you into seiko presage, Tissot, edox, and many others. Even higher if you're willing to go refurb or slightly used. Scored an open box Alpina heritage startimer for $380 myself.
Alternatively, you could spent $120 on a dressy orient bambino or timex marlin and then $380 on a mid specced watch like glycine, yema, or some of the nice micro brands.
I'm far from an enthusiast though, so I'm sure there are other opinions out there

I've been blessed with a good enough memory to retain where each number is on a clock face. Lets me care a little more for aesthetics than legibility.
