Im a mechanical watch person, and my go to suggestions in the under $200 price range are Orient and Seiko. Even the $70 Seiko 5. I have had one of these for near a decade and it still just chugs along. Probably the most suggested budget dress watch has to be the Orient Bambino. If youre looking for a quality quartz that has chrono functions, I dont think the Timex Weekender can be beat.

There are others, but those can get you started.

If you're looking for a nice and affordable watch, check out these options. They're going to be much better than the quartz watches ASOS offers.

If your budget is less than 100, I'd recommend looking at quartz watches. My dad isn't as into watches, for him it's just a tool. So I wouldn't want him to deal with the downsides of a mechanical watch (i.e. inaccuracies over time, stops if not worn).

Maybe look at some timex weekender styles, they have a lot of interesting designs:

Here's an example

Another timex weekender (I have this one and it ticks really loudly)

Here's a watch I've been a little interested in lately (Citizen BM8180)

With jeans, tshirt and boots/sneakers? Get this and throw the NATO strap on it and save yourself $900

I honestly get more compliments on this watch than any other I've worn. It really is a nice looking casual watch in person.

Examples of cheaper chronos by Timex and Casio

My daily driver is a timex weekender chrono. Not exactly UL, but it's been reliable for several years and I like the way it looks. I replaced the strap with a woven perlon nato-style strap that's a lot lighter and more comfortable for hiking. The non-chrono version is lighter but I find the chronograph very useful in the backcountry for things like keep track of aquamira, steeping tea, tracking mileage/pace.

if you want a chronograph in that price range, take a look at Timex. They have plenty of options, like the Weekender chronograph or the Expedition chronograph

If you are interested in a Seiko chronograph, one thing to be aware of is that the chronograph records the minutes on a 60min subdial, which is really tiny and hard to read, and kind of limits their usefulness past 59 seconds in my experience. Compare to the Timex chronograph, which records minutes on a much easier to read 30min subdial, with the trade-off that it can only record up to 30min.

a dive watch with a rotating bezel can also be used as a timer. Timex has some diver-styled watches like the Allied Coastline or Expedition Ranger, but they don't really have the water resistance to be true dive watches. You can look at the Casio Duro as well, which actually is a dive watch.

these so far are all quartz watches. if you are interested in a mechanical watch, your budget probably limits you to Seiko5 or Vostok, maybe Orient if you can stretch your budget a bit more

I plan on getting my first watch, a Timex Weekender Chronograph.

On the Timex website it's $82, however on amazon it's going for $60. Being new to watches I'm wondering if there's any danger in buying from Amazon, such as inferior components or chance of a fake, that would make spending the extra $22 to get it from the official website justifiable.

Also if anyone has any suggestions for watches with a Chronograph and <$100 that is similar to the weekender my decision isn't set in stone and I would appreciate the suggestion.

Hello, I've been browsing through all the Timex chronograph watches on Amazon, the ones in the 60-80 dollar range and I really dig them. Are there other brands with sweet chronograph watches, in the same price range, to compare them to? Thanks.

The Timex Weekender Chrono looks somewhat similar, albeit slightly more crowded.

I wear a Timex Weekender daily. This one with the two different straps: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TWG012800QM-Unisex-Weekender-Leather/dp/B01GI8SU5O/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1524070963&sr=8-7&keywords=timex+weekender

Weekender is a bit small -- I'd recommend checking out the weekender chrono. I'm a fan of the navy and it'll pair great with the Lakehouse Leather straps on sale right now

I don't have a Fairfield, but I do have a Weekender Chronograph. You could get the 37mm Fairfield if you're worried about the size of the 41mm.
