The Best Watches Under $300!
In today’s age, a watch is more than a tool to keep track of time. To most people, this unassuming piece of accessory is a statement made by the wearer. It is a deliberate choice. A watch is a symbol of taste and lifestyle. It is one that shows you’re the kind of person who will not sit idly by to the passing trends of the world.
However, a watch should not be reserved only for luxury. The right watch will show the unique charisma and character of its wearer. Selecting a specific watch for its quality, appearance, or even history can have a large impact on your daily life. From young professionals to the intrepid veteran, the most reputable brands of watchmakers will have the perfect fit for anyone.
Here, The Watch Company will introduce several watches suitable for a variety of wearers. Don’t worry about the cost though. Each one is affordable, ranging from $300 and below!
G-Shock
G-Shock by Casio has been increasing the standards in the wristwatch industry for over three and a half decades. The classic G-Shock look is essential for style while maintaining functionality. G-shock watches are some of the most durable timepieces made in the industry. “Absolute toughness” is G-Shock’s brand momentum. It is a trustworthy brand to adventurers around the world.
Casio G-Shock DW-5750E-1JF
Firstly, the DW-5750E-1JF was released to mark the company’s 35 years as a watch-making giant in the industry. This remake of the classic model enhances the quality of the original yet maintains its timeless appearance.
The body is made with resin and a mineral glass front. Its basic color suits any style or mood. So, this model can easily be part of an urban look or a smart suit. Moreover, this relatively new model features all the classic functions. For instance, it has shock and water resistance, 24-hour stopwatch/timer, and alarms with an EL green backlight. This is certainly a fantastic choice for any lifestyle.
Casio G-Shock GAW-100B-1A2JF
Likewise, the GAW-100B-1A2JF amplifies the typical Casio G-Shock watch. With a bolder look, this model keeps the brand’s focus on an active lifestyle while evolving in its practicality and toughness. The case is resin and the aluminum bezel adds to its strength and quality. Also, the model is finished with a blue interior. However, you can opt for a black aluminum interior and black or white bands.
It is a model that truly pursues the quality of good design and it comes with extra impact resistance adapted from all G-Shock lines. The power can be charged through solar cells stored on the face’s surface. Additionally, the time is accurately backed up by a shock-resistant antenna receiver synced with radio waves across the globe. Never lose track of time with the “super illuminator” that lights up the watch face when it’s dark. With three color varieties, it is a great addition for any occasion.
On the other hand, the G-STEEL series from Casio watches make the biggest impact on this list. Although slimmer than its previous models, the GST-W300-1AJF doesn’t skimp on features. Along with the impact-resistant structure, this model is finished with a laser-cut bezel in a stainless-steel case for ultimate durability.
However, don’t let all that metal fool you because the slimmer size also makes this watch much lighter and easier to wear than its predecessors. In addition to its ergonomic shape, the watch face also has a variety of features. For exceptional readability, a retractable needle ensures constant visibility of the liquid crystal part and an automatic double LED light allows clear visibility at any time of day.
Seiko
Seiko is a true Japanese maker that has been manufacturing the best timepieces for over a century. Over the years, this company has transformed the watch-making industry while also being absolutely genuine to its motto — seeking perfection. Seiko debuted their first wristwatch, Laurel, in 1913 which changed the market. Taking a step ahead is what Seiko always thrives to accomplish.
Seiko Prospex SBEP003
If you’re seeking a true digital watch, Seiko’s Prospex line might be the right fit. The unique design for SBEP003 is great for a person who tracks time by the second. Hailed as “The Field Master”, this solar-powered watch has a reserve battery for up to five months when fully charged. Moreover, the power saver feature can keep the battery going for another 20 months. Being water-resistant for up to 200 meters, this is the watch to take in any adventure on land or at sea.
This watch includes a huge variety of functions including a stopwatch, timer, and alarm. Additionally, no matter where you go, this watch will keep you on time. How so? It has a world clock that can be set to any of 44 cities around the globe. The design is lightweight and instantly tells any onlooker that you are someone on the go.
Seiko Prospex SBEP005
Compared to its sibling above, this design of SBEP005 is perfect for those who need a little more elegance.
Having the guarantee of Seiko means you can always rely on this timepiece whenever you need it. While maintaining all the features of the 003 model, its black casing is a classic. Likewise, its gold finish adds a touch of modernity and elevated luxury.
It will always be in trend and never out of fashion no matter what style you are going for. So, whether you have a meeting in London, a scuba diving activity in the Great Barrier Reef, or a night of fun in Macau, this watch will surely complete your attire.
Both of these Seiko timepieces are ideal for an active wearer. They are not small in circumference (55mm) but slim in thickness (14.1mm). Being lightweight and soft on the silicone grasp, they are the perfect athletic partner as well.
Citizen
Founded in 1918, Citizen has been making a global effort in the research and development of watches. Combining technology and simplicity is what Citizen is all about. The Eco-Drive technology has been astonishing in the industry. With Eco-Drive, “all you need is light.”
Citizen Collection AT6060-51E
Last but not least, we have the truest essence of a watch made by the masters at Citizen. Don’t let its traditional facade fool you — there is much more to the AT6060-51E than what you see. Citizen watches have constantly found a balance between tradition and modernity. The minimal design truly shows Citizen’s simplicity.
As a reliable Citizen watch, its body houses an Eco-Drive. This means that it can be powered by any exposure to light aside from the sun. The face of this timepiece is streamlined for efficient reading while still having a day and date function. Finally, the stainless-steel bracelet and sapphire glass are elegant without being over-the-top.
