Which watch would you buy that’s under $50
It would seem that for the $50 dollar range in watches, you have about 4 choices.
Timex
Casio
Invicta
Off brands
When talking with most people, it would seem Casio is the watch most head too, then Timex. Watch collectors know of Invicta but I find the average person that doesn’t buy Casio or Timex end up buying a Chinese fashion brand. I know my first under $50 watch was a Casio. What was yours?

Got them!
You can find a DW5600E-1V for $50 all day. I know not everyone likes g shocks, but that's what I'd choose. From the four you listed, I'd go with the weekender.
I'd be looking towards Lorus for that price range. Not so many years ago it would have always been Citizen, but l think they start around double the price these days.
My first has been lost to the mists of time long gone.
My first after getting back into watches was a G-Shock.

+1 G Shock
I'd rake the Casio AE-1200 or a Duro
At that price I’m humbled and grateful to be able to grab them all! So that would be my first vote. Now to stick to the program I would say the Invicta takes the overal cake in my eyes. Although I would probably save a little more and get the Auto. Damn this was harder then I expected 😅
Mine was a Timex Weekender ($35.00) about 8-9 years ago.

Not a bad choice!
This...
And this...
Not a bad choice!
Not bad at all. It been in pools, lakes, the ocean. It's been covered in dirt, fish guts, mud... & keeps ticking.
I like the Timex Expedition, with the resin aka plastic case. Light, durable and waterproof, plus it has indiglo so you can read it at night. About $39 the last time I bought some.
