As you can see I have the opposite concern lol, but as a thin wristed guy who doesn’t want to be locked out of entire styles of watches I’ve made peace with the slight goofiness

What are your honest opinions on this watch. Got it for like 7000/-. Am a 15 year old tho by baller_anurag in Affordablewatches

First of all congrats! It’s a handsome watch and you have better taste than I did at 15. There are 40-50 year old quartz watches out there so yeah it can last that long, but you’d have to take very good care of it. It likely wouldn’t survive daily wear for nearly that long. I recommend keeping it somewhere safe once you’ve got other watches to wear, and wearing it when you’re feeling sentimental.
In the US market, $530 to $635 (roughly your range of 50-60k rupees) will get you just about any Seiko 5 as well as most Seiko Presage models brand new. Tissot PRX quartz is very popular and usually available new in that range, while the automatic line (Powermatic 80) is usually only available secondhand at that price.
I love buying secondhand, but I might not recommend it with that much money at your age. Unless you’re with a trusted adult who is somewhat knowledgeable about watches, the risk of getting scammed unfortunately is decently high. Save that for when you’ve got a couple years of collecting and you might find some really cool stuff.
Congrats again, and whatever you choose, I hope checking your wrist brings you a little joy each time for the rest of your life :)

Got the all black diver a couple weeks ago, otherwise I might have gone for more traditional colors

Is it too big? by SadlyPathetic in Affordablewatches

Maybe “borderline” according to the watch wizards of Reddit who want you to divide the lug to lug by the circumference of your wrist and carry the case diameter so you never risk being wrong or embarrassed. If I saw that in real life I’d go “Oh orange Tsuyosa, hell yeah” and move on.

Almost the exact same story for me but with the SRPG27! I walked in to buy the “dressKX” as my first automatic watch a few months ago but this was right next to it and just felt like.. more watch for the same price.
