He would like something all black with a strap. I mainly need suggestions for brands that I can look into that would have a good watches in this range. I’d prefer something that has name value also I guess? And I’m kind of a noob and don’t really know much. Pls help! Thankyouu
Seiko is my go-to recommendation for entry level watches. They look nice, are reliable and affordable, and can be worn for a variety of occasions. A Seiko 5 automatic can run anywhere from $150-$300, well within your budget.
The cool thing about Seiko is that they can easily be modified to fit your style. There are also tons of people out there who build custom watches using Seiko parts, even to the point of looking like the higher end luxury brands but still within your budget. If you’re interested in something like that, PM me and I’ll send you a few suggestions of custom watch mod makers I recommend.
Good luck!
