Preferably silver or leather, but I’m open to suggestions.
Casio, Timex, swatch
Came to say these. Look at all three and see which aesthetic you like
Do you want something fully clockwork that you wind or wear to keep wound up (called an automatic) or do you want a battery powered watch (usually called quartz)? If the former, I like to recommend the Invicta Pro Diver. The brand is not well regarded, but that specific watch looks like a Rolex Submariner so has a classic design, and has a good Seiko movement in the back of it (meaning the clockwork that runs it). They’re like 80 bucks, less on sale. If you want quartz, there’s a million options from Casio or Timex that could match about any style!
Timex weekender chrono. Keep in mind that some of the (3 hand non chrono) timex weekender models tick very loud.
Some good budget watches from casio are the Casio solar mtp-s120, Casio Duro mdv106 or MDV107 (has better lume), mtd1053 (smaller than the Duro), efv100d, efv140, efrs107d, efrs108, mts100 (sapphire crystal and a 10 year battery).
If you are in the US check out the officialwatchdeals store on ebay and get a citizen eco-drive you like from there. This would be the best you could get in this price range, a good brand with very good quality and very practical, acurate and robust watches. Something like this (smaller) field watch or maybe a diver style watch (this one doesn’t have a functional rotating bezel like dive watches do but this style of watch is the most popular design for men’s watches) for a little more or something more of an everyday/ dressier watch (this one doesn’t have lume - night glow, the other 2 do have lume, and also has less WR - not good for swimming).
Just pay attention to the size. Usually for warches without a bezel the size that fits most people is around 40mm (38mm - 42mm) and rof watches that have a bezel like dive style watches around 42mm (40mm - 44mm).
100m WR is good if you don’t want to worry about swimming (and other water activities) with the watch.
Also fay attention to the strap/bracelet. Some watches have unusual lugs with an integrated bracelet and you can’t swap the bracelet on those to a different strap if needed.
if you get a solar watch just don’t hide it in a drawer in the dark when not wearing it, leave it on a shelf where it can get some daylight and it will keep working for a long time.
