I’m going to add Vaer to the list- classic styling, very practical dive watches that are super reasonably priced. I don’t know how I’m not hearing about that brand all the time. I wanted a beat about watch I could get wet for eternity and not worry about and that is exactly what mine has been for the past three years. Can’t recommend it more.

Seconded on Vaer. I'm a major fan of the brand.

I would also add Farer and Baltic to this list, from the Brits and the French, respectively!

Gonna be real here not a single one of these pieces is a “starter” watch. A starter piece should be something with an entry level price point, good aesthetics, and a decent movement. All of these have amazing movements and aesthetics but the cheapest watch here was over 1000.

In my opinion this list is pure watch snobbery or at the very least shows that the author is hopelessly out of touch.
