![]() ![]() I can definitely see the Invicta to be easy on your wrist to be a daily beater watch. In addition, the moderate size means its weight is not too heavy as the other bigger diving watches out there that uses 44 mm diameters that can be quite hard to wear. It’s not too small (43 mm) which means it will sit well on most wrists. It’s housed in a 40 mm diameter stainless steel case which is, to me, a sweet spot for men’s watches now. It’s definitely a good first watch for those just wanting to test the waters (so to speak) with automatic watches. ![]() If you’re enamored with the rugged Rolex Submariner but can’t cough up $6,000 for a watch, then the Invicta 1826 is a much affordable alternative. You’re getting everything an automatic watch has to offer – plus the famous diver watch style. Just looking at that price, it’s one of the best automatic watches that you can get if you’re tight on budget. (I’ve even written a full review of this watch that you can read here) The Invicta 8926 is a famous watch due to its handsome looks (you can say that it looks quite a bit like the Rolex Submariner…) and its very affordable price, around $70 to $90 apiece. (similar to Amazon but you’ll need to be more careful when selecting the sellers)ĭo note that Amazon and Ebay also sells second hand watches (they are a seller’s markerplace after all) so there’s a potential that you can even get the watch cheaper.(as there can be multiple sellers for the same watch, you can shop around and choose the best seller).There are many websites selling watches but here are some of the popular ones that I’ve personally used in the past: Just be sure not to buy more expensive watches (my personal threshold is $1000) from gray market as the risk is higher. Thus, buying a gray market watch is a really cost effective way to buy the watches that you love. ![]() The watches are 100% real (though there are some fakes out there that you should watch out) but since it’s not being sold through the authorized channel, the watches won’t have warranty from the brand.īut the thing is, warranty is not really a concern if you’re buying from a reputable online store as usually they will provide their own money-back guarantee or something like that. However, buying the watches from these sellers on the internet is called buying gray market as the watch will not have the warranty from the brand. Thus, watches sold by third-party resellers are usually much cheaper as you’ll skip the obscene profit margin built-in in the MSRP prices set by the watch brands. I need to highlight again that the price range that I’ve included in the table above is based on online prices from third-party resellers or from the so-called gray market.ĭue to their price structure, it’s highly unlikely that you can get those prices if you buy from the authorized dealers (AD) of the brands, either at their brick-and-mortar store or even from their official website, which have the exact same manufacturer price (MSRP) with the shops lol!. Not all brands can compete at lower price points hence you’ll only going to see that some brands have multiple watches in this list. However, as you might have seen, there isn’t much variety when it comes to the brands. That’s intentional as I don’t want to make the list too repetitive with the same brands and same style of watches. Sure enough, there are lots of cheaper watches (Invictas, Seiko 5s & China-made models) that are very affordable that didn’t make the cut here. I’ve also tried to make the list encompass all the watch types (the 3 main types of dress, sports, dive watch) that anyone would be interested in. Without a doubt, this list is by no means the only automatic watches below $200 that you could buy (for example, there’s lots of very cheap China-made automatic watches out there).īut then, giving out the cheapest automatic watches list is not helpful to you guys and definitely not much fun as the list will be filled with Invictas and Seiko 5s! In this list, I tried to list out some of the most pleasing watches from various brands with the best value to money proposition. Note: All price ranges are based on online retailers Summary of the Best Automatic Watches Under $200 in 2020 If you’re looking to get an affordable automatic watch for under $200 in 2020, then you should definitely check out these 15 watches here: Watch ModelĤ5 mm diameter stainless steel gold-plated caseĤ0 mm diameter stainless steel case (two-tone silver/gold) As a fan with normal income level, affordable automatic watches are something that I’m very interested in, especially below that magical USD $200 mark.Īfter some survey, I managed to gather a list that I think would be helpful to guys with a tight budget.
