How much is your budget & wrist size?
Sample answers the one you like and can afford don’t make the mistake we have all probably made by buying a watch everyone else likes and says you should get if you don’t like it I’ve done it I got a Casio world time but I can’t stand the thing and have only worn it for a few minutes before taking it off I do like my lunar pilot but I don’t wear it much as it looks better in the box than on my wrist
Probably a watch that isn’t on your list yet, keep looking, that’s the fun and inexpensive part of the journey anyway :)
P.S. if you like Seikos take a look at the Alpinist and the quartz Grand Seikos.

Is the Alpinist line discontinued?

No, there’s a lot of current versions. Here’s one
SPB121J1
Orient Defender Mk II
Orient Mako/Ray/Kamasu
Marathon ADANAC GPD
Seiko Solar 38.5
I started my journey with three Seikos. They are awesome. Then I got a couple of Swiss watches under $2000. They are more awesome. Then I went to G-Shock. Pretty freaking awesome. Seikos are still awesome though.
Lineage is great if you like it. Get one of the titanium versions.
And for the g shocks try them in a store first. This is the only one I find really comfy with the included strap. The ga2100 is a totally different feel on the wrist and much harder strap.
A few other nice ones under 200 bucks:
This Citizen is titanium as well.
Everyone needs at least one G-Shock in their collection, and with the new Casioaks being able to mod, so many custom models being made by sellers, it is a good time to find one that speaks to you.
