Orient is solid and is generally regarded as the best value entry-level brand for mechanical watches.īoth watches use mineral glass, which offer moderate scratch resistance. The Orient is an automatic mechanical watch if you aren't familiar with what that means, you should read up on it first so that you know what you're getting yourself into. Timex 3-hand quartz movements are also kind of notorious for having a loud audible ticking seconds hand if that bothers you at all. Timex is solid, but you do get what you pay for the Southview is made out of coated brass instead of steel, so it won't be as durable and it will visually look "cheaper" than steel. What kind of brand should I look for? Thanks! () looks pretty close to what I'm looking for, but maybe a bit thick? Also I'd have to replace the leather strap with a different one. I'm currently enjoying the Timex olive nato strap, it's lightweight and I never worry about water or sweat on it. No chronograph, nothing fancy, ideally no text on the face like the brand (or very discrete). Ě date function would be a plus, but not a requirement (especially if it's cumbersome to adjust)

I have an old automatic watch that is never working when I try to wear it. It would need to run on a battery because I don't wear a watch regularly enough and I'm afraid it would stop running if it sits in my drawer for too long. Ĕ numbers on it would be ideal (12, 3, 6 and 9), up to 12 if needed, but not so minimal that it's less than 4 or even no numbers.

I'd prefer a much thinner watch (I remember the Swatch Skin size) I have () and I love its simplicity, but the tick is loud (I can't keep it on my nightstand when I sleep) I'm a man with wrists that are probably more considered small (I wear the small Apple Watch) I'm looking for recommendations for a very minimalistic watch with a white or off-white face:
