The best cheap watches with serious grail appeal

16 Oct.,2023

 

No doubt many of you have asked whether there is such a thing as cheap watches? Well, be it a search for the perfect first watch, wanting an analogue alternative to your smartwatch or thinking it's time to get a hype-y addition to your existing collection, we have joined forces with the horological world to cater for your (watch) needs. Although it’s easy to succumb to the notion that the best watches should be expensive, that’s got a lot more to do with marketing fluff than anything else. From G-Shock to Swatch and Tissot, some of the most celebrated timepieces of recent years have been available for well under £500, and that includes both mechanical and quartz watches.

So what cheap watches should you be looking for? We’d worry less about lineage or movements and more about good old fashioned aesthetics. Brightly coloured dive watches, cheeky chronographs and slick takes on the stainless steel bracelet trend are all catered for below – with a few slightly more expensive options for you to peruse too. Take a look and find what suits you.
