Looking for something like this but more affordable (but good quality)

Don’t know much about analogue watches but figured now is a good time to be looking because of Black Friday deals.

My budget is up to £100

    Google Cartier Tank, there are literally thousands of watches inspired by that design including loads of 1980s quartz Japanese watches.

    Style is tank.

    Also, note that Cainté is a Denmark-based jewelry/fashion brand; it has no reputation to speak of when it comes to watches (which are technically jewelry, but mechanical/functional jewelry and so markedly different when compared to rings/necklaces/other adornments). Therefore, I would advise staying away from their watches even if they’re in your budget.

    Looking up “Seiko tank” on Amazon yields a number of good results within your budget.

      Cainte is actually building a solid/decent name in the watch making realm, not saying their better than seiko that would be foolish. But not “no reputation”.

    People commonly refer to this as a tank, because it’s rectangular, and the sides are abstractly reminiscent of tank treads.
