You can go beyond your budget for a little bit and check out the Tissot Visodate. It's the first thing that came to mind when I read your post. Available both in Black and White, double sapphire crystal, automatic Swiss movement, can't be wrong!

The Orient Bambino might also fit your description, and it seems to be gaining lots popularity lately. It also comes in a very comfortable price. It's Automatic and available both in black and white, though it does not have Sapphire. Personally I'm in love with the black, also looks terrific with a Honey Calf strap. It's in the style of mid 20th century dress watches though said to be larger than the average size of these, so take a good look at the sizes.

Also, congrats on your graduation and good luck!

I think [the Orient Bambino] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008VBUZDW/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?qid=1374468909&sr=1-13&pi=AC_SX110_SY190) fits your criteria. Slightly more but probably worth it.

I've dug a bit more after I got some suggestions regarding manufacturers and I think I might order this one

How did you forget the Orient Bambino!

u/VampireCampfire · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

Orient Bambino for $130 is a solid choice and can be found for cheaper.

It's a lot of money for a quartz watch. You're paying a lot of money to have Armani written on your watch. The Orient bambino in black is around the same price, but is mechanical (40mm):

This Citizen is roughly the same look, but is solar, so you won't have to worry about battery changes for a while (37mm):

www.amazon.com/Citizen-BM8240-03E-Eco-Drive-Stainless-Leather/dp/B000EQS1D8/

Seiko has a similar solar (37mm): www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNE049-Stainless-Steel-Solar/dp/B004400ZCK/

42mm can be big, depending on your build/wrist, though big is 'in' right now.

You say you like technology, I have a Citizen Nighthawk which I like. It's big, and the dial can be a bit busy: http://www.jomashop.com/citizen-bj7000-52e.html

What about chronographs? (Stopwatches)

u/xenox2 · 2 pointsr/malefashionadvice

For $200 you can get a much better watch than that.

The Orient Bambino cost $122 on amazon right now, uses in house mechanical movements and looks so much more expensive than it is.

u/consumeradvocacy · 2 pointsr/Watches

Sturhling's are generally poor quality with reliability problems. This Orient Bambino is much higher quality and features an in house automatic movement

u/turk11042 · 2 pointsr/Watches

On the very inexpensive end, the Orient Bambino: http://www.amazon.com/Orient-ER24004B-Bambino-Automatic-Mechanical/dp/B008VBUZDW It comes in multiple dial/case color configurations. Doesn't come on a bracelet, although there are similar Orient models that do.

Moving into the affordable range, the Tissot Visodate: http://www.amazon.com/Tissot-TIST0194301603101-Heritage-Visodate-Automatic/dp/B0041Q44T2
Again, multiple dial/case colors, but no bracelet option (I don't think).

Still affordable, Seiko Cocktail Time: http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-MECHANICAL-Shinobu-Ishigaki-SARB065/dp/B0038OLUMM
This model comes in the one style, but does come on either a bracelet or strap. There are other SARBxx models with different dial colors.

Moving into luxury watches, Grand Seiko Snowflake: http://www.seiyajapan.com/collections/grand-seiko/products/s-sbga011

Premium Luxury, Patek Philippe Calatrava: http://m.jomashop.com/patek-5127-1g.html#0

u/OneLegAtATime · 2 pointsr/TheVeneration

The orient is <$200 on amazon.

The model's called the Bambino, just a month or two ago they came out with a different face for it as well. Probaby not the best price for it but here it is for reference. Trying to emulate an even older watch feel from the 20's-30's I think.

And yes, I do know that "affordable" is a relative term, haha. the original Omega devilles go for $300-500, then add $100-200 for servicing. Personally, $200 is really my upper limit for a watch at this point.

I would reccomend an orient bambino for slightly more formal wear. Their ine of divers would also look god for daiy wear.
http://www.amazon.com/Orient-ER24004B-Bambino-Automatic-Mechanical/dp/B008VBUZDW

Seiko 200m Divers are also a great every day choice for a more casual watch. http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKX009K2-Divers-Automatic-Watch/dp/B000OP1M6M/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1427746893&sr=1-4&keywords=seiko+dive

If you don't like any of these, I reccommend looking around online. Wornandwound.com has a good database of watch reveiws, some of which fit your budget and you can always check /r/watches .

What about the Bambino? Black dial - Version 2 white dial

And here's my version 2 wedding watch (cream dial).

u/rollingalong · 1 pointr/Watches

For the average person, a quartz movement is the best option. It is typically more convenient than automatic, and almost always more accurate. Some of the best quartz watches in your price range come out of Bulova and Citizen, and I might throw Casio in there too. I own and love my Bulova Precisionist, which has a souped up quartz movement and was under $200.

If you know or expect that your boyfriend would be interested in a mechanical movement, then the first place you should look is Seiko (this is mine) or Orient (the Ray and the Bambino are popular). They offer very high quality pieces for reasonable prices. Bulova also makes some mechanical pieces.

EDIT: You mentioned that he wants a stainless steel band. I expect what he's talking about is a "diver," which often comes on a bracelet (think James Bond's Omega Seamaster, or the ubiquitous Rolex Submariner). If that's the case, I would look hard at Seiko divers like the SKX007, 009, 173, etc. and Orient divers like the Ray or Mako. These are all well within your given price range, but for a bit extra you can look at the Steinhart Ocean.

corrected link to the Orient Bambino

It's also worth noting that (IMHO) Seiko, Citizen and Orient ALL seem to offer up very sterile pictures of their products to resellers. There are watches I've been totally turned off to online, but love in person. Do Google image searches for watches you're on the fence about to see them in a different light. For example, take a look at the pictures of an Orient Bambino on Amazon (fairly bland) compared to the beautiful pictures of the same piece on Worn & Wound. Like night and day!

Just something to keep in mind!

Funny you mention that I was just checking that one out. I did find one I really like.

This Orient Bambino. I've seen nothing but praise for them. I might settle on this one, but I'm going to do some more reading.

And like people brought up in that Armani thread, I would like to own a watch from a real watch company. I have a Seiko from my parents for my confirmation back in, what, 2007? But I want a more simple watch and one that looks more to my taste.
