Looking for a watch with some of the best value for money between 2000 to 3000 €. Any ideas watch fanatics plz? 😎
Versatile watch, nothing too dressy, but one that stands out from the traditionnal everyday watch.
Thank uuuuuu

Citizen make the world's thinnest solar watch. 3mm for 3 grand. Very good value at 1000 euro per millimeter. 😄
But I recommend the version without leather as it's a really horrible industry.
Personally I don't like thin though. I'm much more into this style. Sorry they are only 700 euro I think. (So you can buy 3 of them lol)
But these are really expensive. In your price range if I remember correctly.
And pick up a good beater watch while you're at it. Titanium, solar, sapphire, etc.
I don’t know if it is best value but the Longines Spirit is really good value imo.
Type of watch? What will you use the watch for? New or used? Tons of great value in that range, but it helps if you can narrow it down.

Sure, but on the wrist it doesn't feel like anything special.

Mainly new and maybe some everyday watches or more so like versatile ones which can be weared in multiple occasions.

a bit messy for me, maybe a chronomaster or a series 8. What would u choose between the 2?
That is a very open question, can you narrow it a bit, please? Please mention things like lifestyle and size. Trying to help.
I really like the Black Bay 36, but the Longines Spirit looks fantastic and is probably a better value for money if you are looking for a three hander for everyday. The best might be the entry level Grand Seiko with F9 quartz.
Oris also got a lot of versetile pieces. Pointerdate and Diver 65 comes to mind.
If you want something that stands out more there is Doxa 👌 Or the more fancy PRX models?
Tons of options in this range. If you dip into used you can get the first Omega Seamaster or Aqua Terra models, sometimes the early co-axial variants too.
Longines Spirit Zulu Time.
Oris Aquis 400.
Tutter Bleak Boi 58.
Longines Spirit and..... I'm going to say it... Tudor Ranger.
Oris Big Crown or Aquis
Tudor Ranger or Black Bay 36
Seiko Astron SSJ011J1 or King Seiko SJE087J1

Funny. The first ones that came to mind are a preowned BB58 and the new Nomos club 37mm. Both already mentioned.
I‘ll throw two more into the ring that are not ‘common’ but popular enough that most enthusiasts will know them.
Longines BigEye. either the steel in black or petroleum blue in titanium.
and one of my favorite brands, Oris. The big crown pointer date in the 38mm case with the in house movement. ADs will discount these under 3k.
in truth there are somany great options in your price range it’s tough to make a recommendation. Example the water resistance on these probably wouldn’t meet the needs for some. Wrist size and preference etc.
enjoy the search. It’s ine of the best parts.
Black bay 36. Perfect one watch collection.
And pick up a good beater watch while you're at it. Titanium, solar, sapphire, etc.
I love Casio watches! Huge respect for their G Shock line.
Lots of tremendous watches in that price range...you are spoiled for choice...

It is an amazing watch!
Here's a nice wrist shot to tempt you further - definitely get it on the bracelet, if you decide to go for it...

Below your price range but I think that's okay if the watch is nice. New brands sometimes give much better value for money. You can get a few different washed watches to empty the wallet.
Not my video by the way.
Ball Engineer 111 Marvelight
Doxa Sub 300T
can’t go wrong with either

I'll share my current obsession. I saw this watch at the WindUp watch fair last week in NYC and have not be able to stop thinking about it. It checks all of the boxes for me, and at a killer price. For just over $2,000 you can get it on their metal bracelet which is really nice. Even @Max is a fan :-)

I don’t know if it is best value but the Longines Spirit is really good value imo.
I was about to get that watch it's got a fantastic movement! I went with a Speedy Racing reverse panda instead, Watchmaxx had it for 33% off with no tax so I couldn't pass it up. I think I'll have to make the Longines Master Collection Moonphase my first Longines instead.
I would recommend just about any Nomos! I think they're generally the best all around watches in the 1k - 3k price range
