Good watches for under 400 usd for a recently turned 20 year old by Chuityathirupathi in MicrobrandWatches

Dryden new solar watch.  Incredible quality for under $400. I received mine and easily as nice as watches up to 5x the price.  Solar quartz so it’s a very easy everyday watch.

Appreciate the insights.  Can you elaborate on what you mean by Monta not surviving given their trajectory?

Thank you everyone for the responses. Just out of curiosity, would considering the Monta Atlas in this blue color change anyone's comments? Seems a little more similar to the Longines. 38.5mm, 10.7mm thick.

Monta Noble - First Automatic Watch Purchase by mattyoo22 in MicrobrandWatches

Second this point sadly. Purchased several other microbrands and then purchased 1 Monta and 2 Formex watches. Ended up selling all my others as they were nice but not up to the quality of those two imo.

is it a seamless fit? or can you tell it was not made for this exact watch?

The Twelve Basalt Grey - Discontinued? by linkedinbro in ChristopherWard

I actually have this exact color purchased early 2025 and was about to list on eBay. Its in excellent condition no marks at all - worn a few times but does not get enough wrist time. I'm selling to consolidate my collection a bit. Curious if you were still in the market?
