Choose Your Favorite Affordable (Sub-$500) Panda Chronos (Quartz)

·

Well, the Seiko is not sub $500. At least the panda version of the Speedtimer even after a discount still sells for closer to retail than other variants.

The Orient is the best value out of the four and you can find it between $200-$250.

The new Orient diver chronograph can also be a nice choice.

Give or take $6. - https://amzn.to/3lkxMUt $506 at the time of posting on Amazon (which is a good deal considering the higher retail elsewhere.)

But yes, the rest are around $250.

I've seen images of the new Orient Panda. Worth considering if you like a rotating bezel!

Actually, I would prefer this Hemel panda chronograph instead of the selections in the poll.

Ah, yes. Agree. Beautiful watch. A mechanical version of the poll is in order!

Orient for me! Not seen them before but now I'm immediately tempted!

I'd personally rather have the About Vintage 1960 with a red strap.

Love that. Although I like white dials a smidge more, there's no doubt that for $399 that's sharp.

Tissot. Because it doesn't have the dreaded 24-hour sub dial.
