I have bought numerous G-shocks second hand and they are all still very much alive and ticking. You can get a lot of watch for not a lot of money if you shop around!
The great looking Chameri dress watch on AE is available under $50 with amazing build quality and Seiko VH31 quartz movement. The Addiesdive "sand dune" dial quartz is also available under $50, also good value and a good looking watch.
Gents! Ya don’t have pay out the nose to look great! We’re into the cooler months and if you spend…nay, invest in a solid, full “military specifications” pea coat (for a few hundred bucks or less) that will last for many years and be fashionable for however long you have it….put it together with a metal Casio like the 158 or 168, it’s a great pairing. Your fave jeans and shirts or hoodies or sweaters will work perfectly with the pea coat, easy. That solid, low-cost watch along with it is an absolute look. That Sekonda in gold and green with the brown band is cool. It would look so good with a brown corduroy sport coat or brown suede jacket and some more fall earth tones for, well…fall. Cheers, guys!
I had absolutely no idea that Benyar was operated by Pagani Design. Since both are doing homages, why not sell the watches under one banner? Quite confusing. In terms of cheap watches, I think it is possible to stretch the budget further, but I don't know how viable it'll be in other regions. For example, casio lists the f91w, MQ24, and MRW200H at roughly 11$ in India. My personal at-home watch is a digital watch by Sonata (Sub-brand of Titan Watches, reputed watch brand in India). This was purchased for roughly 5$ about 10 years ago, and is still going extremely strong!
Well I've not region locked myself with the rules, so that gives me some food for thought. Addiesdive and Steeldive are the same with the setup as Pagani and Benyar. I think there are two things at play really, it could be to do with obfuscating where the watches are coming from, a hit brand name is a goldmine after all. The other thing is it could just be like a Rolex/Tudor situation, but the prices are so scaled down that to us it doesn't feel like much of a gap between them. Pagani's most expensive watches are close to the $200 mark and Benyars cheapest are below 20 so it does make some sense.
I have the Lorus , it is a lovely little watch , 36mm , 40 mm with the crown and only 10mm thick on the supplied strap . On a side note , and it fits with the video , my trusty work watch a Casio MRW-200 strap split on Monday so I wore another watch (Casio MTD on a bright orange strap} to work , when i came home i went to fix / change the strap only to find the battery had died ...... spooky .
Amazon says Stainless Steel, really hard to tell from the numerous listings. I'd be tempted to accept a review from someone whose had it in hand though.
The price was from earlier in the week from the US Timex website with a 10% discount code plus a sale. Timex are almost always cheaper in the US than UK.
I used to own the Lorus. It is a good watch, I used it for wild camping. But once I’d bought a G Shock 5610u it didn’t get worn. My pick of this video is by far the Casio A158W. It’s one of 7 watches I own and it’s in my top 3 favourites despite being the cheapest!
Lorus watches are solid and I can definitely recommend them!
The Lorus Lumibrite is actually a 37mm casing despite what sites state..Solid offering love mine ...

I've got one! Its ace!
Casio MBW 200H very cool little resin divewatch with a thousand varients, less than £40 on Argos, don't judge me....
Haha, I didn't expect the watch I'm currently wearing to be the first watch on the list! It really is beautiful.

Great listing of watches on your list, like watch with full lume dial.

IT'S A SIGN !!!!!!!
that you need a new battery
(and a strap)
@@ccooper8785 Cheap enough to buy a new one .
Lorus is part of the Seiko family. Along with Orient and Alba.
12:31 Does anyone know that Seiko model number? Thanks
SWR049 is the same watch into another colour, not sure what model the gold version is.
are you sure the Benyar has a stainless steel case, as other reviews state that the case is alloy

You gotta be happy these watches show time. No matter what watches would it be
The Timex price seems to be WAAAY off, I'm finding the cheapest price is £84 on Amazon, though I doubt ANYONE would pay THAT for a Timex. 😂
