The sentimentality point is spot on. I have friends who received fashion watches from partners and family; they cherish them as much as one might a "real" timepiece. 

I bought two Jacques Lemans watches from the big shop here in Moscow. Assembled in Austria (so practically Swiss!). The Miyota quartz in one gives my G - Shocks a run for their money in terms of accuracy; the NH35 in the other is not super accurate, but makes a great dress piece. Cost around £250 for the pair, which is not unreasonable to my mind. 

That's my two- penn'orth. Have a great Sunday, everyone. Cheers 🍻!
