Hi All,

I posted this in the watch appreciation thread originally but it got a little lost, was hoping starting a thread may get more responses.

I am looking for a day to day watch and I am looking to spend up to £300.

I am looking for something that can be worn for all occasions, smart casual, smart with a suit or even just casual with jeans and t-shirt, so in terms of style something like the IWC Portguguese Chronograph or Nomos Glashutte Tangente: http://www.nomos-glashuette.com/the-watches/tangente/tangente-33/

The budget watches I have found in a similar style are:

Stock S001B: http://stockwatches.com.au/shop/s001b/
Uniform Wares 203: https://uniformwares.com/shop/203-series-pvd-gun-grey-tan-leather
Mona HMS Icone: http://www.monawatches.com/hms-hms-icone.html

Any thoughts on the watches above?
Any recommended alternatives?

Thanks

I would stick to popular brands with a long history in watch making. For 300 smacks you're looking at Seiko/Citizen/Orient/Bulova/Junkers maybe some others, but there is enough there to keep you preoccupied.
