This was fun to make! You can find tremendous value if you want to go looking! What would be your favourite watch you own that cost under 200 bucks?!;)
Great list, except for the missing Armitron entry 😉. Of your list, here is what I have or have had in my own collection; GWM5610, Timex Marlin (both reissue and actual vintage 1966), I had a Mako II that I sold, CA53W (while Marty wore the CA53W, Doc Brown wore an Armitron calculator watch, of which I have one), haven't bought the 1963 Chronograph yet, and I am not sure if I will (not a fan of chronographs), I have an Accurist Skytimer, no intention of getting a Duro, not sure about the Timex Chronograph (see 1963), also not sure about the GBD200, and I used to have an SNK809 but I passed it on to my grandson (still have an SNKL23).
I do think you are missing out on some great watches from Citizen, including one that would be great for this list; the Eco-Drive Promaster Diver BN0150. It can be found for less than $200, so it fits in the price range, and it is an actual Diver's watch that is ISO compliant.
I think it has a great look to it, and it is competitive with Orient Mako and Ray prices. Orient makes great watches, but you would have to spend $300 or more to get an ISO compliant Orient Diver's watch. Citizen does it for less than $200. Just saying. 😜
It would be cool if they made a 39mm Duro. Not that I really need one.
That's my sentiment towards Citizen in general. I don't own a single Citizen, but if they made them with 3mm to 5mm smaller cases, I'd own a whole bunch of them.

Great selection of watches. I have several of those myself.
