Starting a collection

What is the best first watch to buy when starting a collection?

Whichever one that fits the budget that you like.

Seriously.

We could all tell you that we wish we didn't buy X or we should have bought Y, but doing so robs you of part of the journey.

Fair enough!!  The budget does play a significant role.

Casio F-91W, Timex Marlin.

Seiko is a good place to start and then just go from there. Make sure to try the watches in person, do a lot of research online, and don’t make quick decisions. That was my mistake in the beginning.

For your first mechanical watch check out Seiko. They have dress, field, and dive watches for $200 to over $1000. 
 

For Swiss watches under $1000, check out Hamilton and Tissot. 
 

For an entry level luxury watch ($1500+), see if you like anything from Longines or Oris.
