No wonder it looks so common.
If your going to drop a bill , kick in a few more bucks and get a little more style.
Sorry, but that thing is really sterile.

I like the black dial one best too, it would well as a daily beater. Don't know much about Muji's build quality, it looks like a fair alternative to the Archimede Pilot, at less than 1/3 the price.

What would you suggest? I can't really think of any stylish watches at that price point...

^^ Dial a bit busy, plus a quartz watch has no soul IMO...

How about a Seiko SNX123K (the nicest Seiko 5 ever made)

or a Poljot Alarm handwind (courtesy of nastyandy)

My non-alarm version isn't bad either IMO.

Being in HK, you have easy access to those, along with other affordable and/or vintage watches.

Poor Man Watch Forum's top 20 list is a great source for ideas.

I like the Seiko 5's. Watches made by robots. Robots are a kind of advanced watch. Watches made by watches.

TD is right about stlyle not being readily available in the $100. range.

None of these watches have style, although I am kind of thinking about the braille watch.

Minimalist watch, Eco Drive.

Interesting watch. Eco Drive.

Good for telling what time it is when the lights go out.

With a better watch strap this might look pretty good.

Kind of interesting.

I wonder how this works. Not in the price range.

This watch looks like it's trying too hard. But it's cheap. (Plated brass case)

Seems like your taste isn't half-bad ; I don't know what to think about the Eco-Drive technology, seeing that it's essentially next-level quartz with an awesome name. I do like the Braille one though, similar to a vintage one available in the link below.

That's member nastyandy's collection. Many of them (I like the Seiko 5 Aviator, Poljot, the Black Monster, the 2 tonneaus and most of his vintage pieces) can be had for below or around $100.

A solar watch is a good idea.

I'd like to have Nastyandy's collection .
I like the mix.

All watches are of interest to me, even toys.
Now I'm on the look out for early digitals.
