Looking for inexpensive fashionable watch other than Fossil
Hello all. I am new in the community & hoping to have good suggestions from watch enthusiasts. Actually, I am a student & I don't earn much. But I am very keen into acquiring fashionable inexpensive watches ( mechanical mostly) like the Fossil do. And I am into fossil just because of the huge discounts that they provide on sale. But still would love to know other brands that sell fashion watches in an affordable budget like Fossil, thank you!

Welcome! If you’re seeking mechanical, Seiko, Invicta, and Orient will be your most likely brands. Fashion watch, could be tough as brands like Skagen, Swatch, Daniel Wellington, etc usually play in that affordable space, but those are largely quartz.
If you’re willing to gamble on no name brands from China; Wish and Ali are your best friends. I strongly suggest checking out Jody’s Just One More Watch channel as he specializes in that world and you can watch all the reviews you can imagine.
Don’t do fashion watches, there are respectable options for everyone made by actual watch-maker companies. Seiko, Orient, Invicta (Pro Diver as Unholiest Jedi mentioned) Timex, Casio, Citizen, even Vostok have plenty of awesome budget options. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll find something that will suit your budget. 😊👌

THIS.
I'd even say go with a homage from the likes of Pagani Design (fuck me right?!) over a fashion watch e.g. they do a good looking Speedmaster you could have from Amazon in a day.
BUT if you just want a mechanical watch that you can enjoy and post on here without fear of derision, I'd go with a Seiko.
If you are looking for good quality for small money and you want mechanical i would look at Orient first. They have a huge selection with something for everyone. Another established brand would be Bulova which is old as time itself and have some reel history but also very affordable. And of course, Seiko, but in my opinion, Seiko has moved a bit out of the really affordable zone in the last couple of years. Other than that, I would look to the microbrand scene where you can get some serious value for money, brands like Boldr and Zelos make some solid watches that punches way above their price tag and also Dan Henry. If you can live with a combination of mechanical and quartz on your wrist, they offer some of the most affordable chronographs that is also finished to a very high standard 😉
Hope you found it helpful
PS. Nothing wrong with quartz or fashion watch brands. You just wear what you want 👍
And 2 of my affordable beauties 😁
Perhaps Relic and Diesel watches are under the Fossil fashion brands you can get at decent price. And you also have Swatch they have a lot of colors and styles.
