These are the first three watches I have every purchased that are not “fashion” watches. I stumbled upon this subreddit by accident a little while back and just started reading more about watches and got kind of hooked on the idea of learning about watches and starting a collection for myself.
I spent so much time browsing the budget brands like Seiko, Citizen, Casio and Timex and decided to treat myself for my birthday. As I am still learning I did not want to overdo it with my initial purchase and wanted to start small to make sure this is something I wanted to commit to and eventually spend more on.
At this point I have no idea what my “grail” watch is or even what my next watch will be, But I am quite pleased with my initial purchase!
I have both the Timex and Casio in my collection as well! This is a fantastic beginning.
A very solid non fashion start! Welcome to the club. :)
Nice beginning! Also check out some microbrands - there are lots around and you support small businesses. As a bonus, you can also find some very unique pieces!
any particular microbrands come to mind?

You did well
Quite like the Timex from that collection. Lovely everyday watch
Love that Casio Duro
You should stop here and wear them until all three are broken before you even think of getting another. These all look great
You have made excellent choices! This is a great way to start and learn your preferences.
Could’ve almost had 1 actual decent watch but ofc ya know…quantity > quality
