Needing help to choose a new affordable watch (under 150 euros)

[nferreira]

Hello, I don't have any experience in this world. It is all new for me, so I would like if you could help me choice a new watch.

I'm looking for the best quality at the best price, in my search the most reasonable watch brands seem to be Casio, Lotus and Lorus.

I really like the Tag Heur CAV518B.FC6237, but unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy one and the idea to buy a replica certainly with crap quality doesn't sound me good.

However I found some affordable watches that make me remember this Tag Heur and they embrace the same racing spirit.

I will show them to you.

Lorus RT319AX9

Casio EF-552-1A

Lotus L15430/4


These are my favourite, they have an affordable price (under 150 euros), look well built with a proper movement (Miyota or Seiko).

I would like to know your opinion about these watches and any suggestion about different brands or watch models.

Something in the same vein, though a bit more expensive:
Orient STi
Orient Planet Orient

definitely that Casio Edifice, even over the Orient. one of the best affordable bang for your bucks around.

I vote for either Casio or Orient. I was about to recommend Orient myself before I read the second post. Either brand will do good by you. If it were me though I'd give slight edge to the Orient because I'm biased towards them from having such great experiences in the past. I love the brand.

I'd go with the Casio Ediface. No one is better at microelectronics than Casio, in my opinion. (and quartz watches are micro electronics)

Lotus, there's no telling who really makes them. Lorus... are they owned by Seiko?

With that Ediface, the only thing it gives up to the Tag is a sapphire crystal.

Yes, Lorus is owned by Seiko. It is the cheapest mark of Seiko Group.

Lotus belongs to Festina Group and I guess their watches have Miyota movement.

I don't know yet what watch I will choose. Before I buy it , I will visit a physical store to see them in reality and try them in my wrist.

What do you think about this Pulsar PU2005X1?

If you are going for busy dial look with a black face + red accent....

Tissot PRS516 might be what you are looking for!
