Affordable (cheap!) square case watch recommendations, please!

Hi folks!

My dad appreciates a square cased watch and I’m getting ahead of his next birthday.

 Trying to avoid a Cartier Tank budget, more like a £100 max budget lol! So quartz analogue and budget friendly brands, if you please! Autos and hand-winders are out, he prefers the simplicity of quartz. 

I’m looking for any recommendations and experience. 

Thank you! 😊👌

Citizen, Bulova, Seiko take your pick and start searching my friend.

Thanks, that is nice! Not my usual thing, but I think I could wear this myself. More importantly, it’s definitely something that my dad would love. 
😅👌

Check out some vintage pieces on Ebay, apart from Seiko, Citizen and other great brands that people have already mentioned (if you are okay with a watch that would be more delicate than a new one) 

If not, Seiko is always a great option:

Yeah, my granddad did back in the day. Definitely a fondly remembered brand. My dad is approaching 75.

How about this? If you want something more sporty Lorus also made a Monaco homage. I think it's discontinued but have a look used

Thanks! I love the blue sunburst in the middle there. 😊👌

If hand-winders and autos are out, there goes vintage. Shame.

Jenni Elle really likes her Seiko "Tank." She said in an earlier video that it scratched her Tank itch, but now she says she wants a Cartier.

This looks like the bargain of the century.  Even leaves you change for a decent strap.

I just picked up these two for my (adult) sons to wear to their sister's wedding.  Both are quartz and are around your price range.  

Bulova 96B107 & Seiko SWR049

I like both of them a lot

It looks class...

These watches make watch collecting fun, not scary.

Recommend the Oris tanks.  Not the price range, or mechanism, you mention but still a great watch.

This is awesome!! Never heard of them before, but they seem to have som history and the movement is supposedly french 🦄 Very exotic 🤣 I was looking at one of Hamiltons Tanks, but now i don't know anymore.
