Looking for a watch - 350 SGD

[Iced-T]

Hi, Can anyone recommend me a watch model for about 350 SGD.

I have been looking at Seiko and Casio Edifice. I dont know much about watches. Any recommendations is much appreciated.

Thanks

Style? Formal? Diver? Pilot? Others?

Display? Analog? Digital?

Movement? Automatic? Quartz?

Functions? With date? No date? Chronograph?

Silver stainless steel strap... white face... analog .. maybe with a date dial (no preference for this)... i want it to look good. Will wear it for functions

seiko sumo // seiko sea urchin

If automatic, take a look at the seiko 5 range then.

I'll suggest Orient bambino if u don't mind leather strap.

Thanks... What is ur opinion on citizen watches? which brand is perceived better? Citzen, Orient or Seiko?

are you referring to the seiko 5 sports?

I like the look of the first watch on this site

THE SEIKO 5 STORY | SEIKO 5 SPORTS

There are too many seiko 5 out there, u need to go down to a physical store to take a look at them.

Mustafa is a good start, stocking all 3 of the brands.

If u are brand conscious, perhaps swiss watch will be more appropriate.

Out of the 3, perhaps Seiko is perceived as the better brand? There seems to be a hype over grand seiko recently.
After all, they do have watch that cost over 300k under their credor branding.

Citizen too have their chronomaster line (renamed to The Citizen) and campanola, orient with orient star, and royal orient which cant be found locally.

I've a piece of Orient star retrograde, like it a lot, seems to be the most affordable mid teir automatic japaness watch?

ps for hijacking thread, in your opinion, what is the cheapest place to get seiko watches? isit the seiko store? or mustafa etc ?

You can get nice Emporio Amani watches at <$200 online. Alternatively can try Skagen, or French connection, if bored with the usual Casio, Seiko or Citizens.

Probably K2 or mustafa?

I'm not really sure, but mustafa is definitely a good place to look at watches, they have a large collection of watches.

e.g if seiko sea urchin is 300+ at city chain then if at k2 or mustafa , would it be cheaper ? by how much ? (example only)

I think u should be able to grab them around 200, Seiko 5 shouldn't be that over 250 unless they are limited edition?

Seiko 5 are supposedly the cheapest automatic line Seiko offers, some are below 100 bucks.

You can check prices out skywatches website, they are pretty cheap there, but mostly grey set though.

grey set means no warranty ? what about creationwatches? really skeptical about not trying before buying..

Not sure on that. I know k2 sells grey set too, but k2 provide 1yr in house warranty.

I bought a Seiko monster on rubber strap from k2 at only 250, 300+ for sea urchin is really ridiculous...

no ah bro ... i say 300 is for example cus unsure of price of sea urchin .. but if sea urchin is $xxx would places like k2 sell cheaper ? your monster got warranty with k2?

btw the seiko range at k2 is alot or just a little ?

Just go bencoolan and look see buy lor! Can try until your arms hurt also!

Also, for formal watch, leather strap looks better than bracelet. Eg:
