I promise, I’m not a spy from Citizen. I’m just a curious guy who is new to the hobby. I often watch YouTube videos about watches and it’s very common to see “10 AFFORDABLE WATCHES YOU MUST BUY!” or a Teddy Bulbasaur video that says “This watch is super affordable & has an entry level price point” then the watch is $595. Hell, right now I’m watching a video about Citizen & the list is saying affordable is under $1000. My limit currently is $250 for a watch. MAYBE, if I save for a bit I’ll raise it to 300. (Disclaimer: I’m in Japan so $250 goes much further. I have a Seiko 5 cement for $120ish.)

I know we all come from different backgrounds and have different financial situations. “Affordable” for you may not be affordable for me. That is perfectly fine. I’m just very curious as when collections are shown in this sub, I like to Google the watch. Often times it’s a multi thousand dollar watch.

Thank you all & I’m looking forward to hearing your stories.

    The current top price I would spend is about 400 Canadian but I’m a fan of vintage so it goes farther, I run my own business so my passion for watches often has to come second to my business, every now and then I’ll break my little rule when I’m celebrating a milestone. But other than that 400 is my max Canadian. Often most of the watches I buy are below that like my last watch that I purchased was a French dress watch from the '80s and I think I spent about $100 on it. Most of my more expensive watches were gifts🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
