been trying to look for an automatic watch, for brands like Hamilton & Tissot their automatic range is around $2k onwards, only quartz is around $500

how come these kind are priced so low? anyone bought them before, how's the quality like?

hamilton and tissot do have cheaper auto watches tat are at this price range btw quartz arent necessarily inferior, 1 of the most interesting quartz watch in the world is from bulova, the accutron series, accuracy and precision can fight and may even beat most rolex or seiko grand

Put what movement, made in where, price point aside, the face very messy, not really nice

sorry for noob question, but why need so accurate or precise for a watch? i am looking mainly for design. for accuracy & precision as long normal can already
