Tips/suggestions
Greetings. I’m new to this world, but I’m absolutely in to it, probably magic. Didn’t ever think I would be so in to watches without even owning any luxurious ones. Currently only have a Seiko 5 sports.
So I wonder, you watch people out there, can you suggest me some cool ones with good quality. Let’s say for around 500-1000 usd. Watches that can be worn every single day.
Have a nice weekend :)

Hello and welcome to the sickness. There are literally thousands of watches that fall in your price range.
What styles of watches are catching your eye?
What kind of movement do you like? Handwind? Automatic? Quartz?

I guess I really can appreciate every type of watch except the digital ones. But I think currently, dive and field watches are the ones that I’m currently more in to.
Automatic is cool.

Now lets get into the weeds! With you just getting started, I’m going to recommend that you stick woth japanese movements, for now. Also just getting your feet wet, I’m going to highly recommend you look at the chinese/Ali Express brands. San Martin, AddiesDive, SteelDive, Heimdallr, Boderry, Berny. There are many others.
Yes you probably won’t own these long before moving them on, but you need to find out what catches your eye and your wrist. This is the least expensive way to play around.
For good everyday styles I’m a fan of phoibos, spinnaker and zelos. For lower budget I’ve lately been buying Boderry’s and am impressed, especially for the budget⛳️

Pretty much anything in that range will be a good daily. Folks wore what are by today's standards fragile dress watches for many years a generation or two ago.
Just find something you love, & don't be in a hurry!!

Thank you! I checked the bulova classic out. I really like it, but as a newbie I don’t have any knowledge on the brand. Does Bulova produce good quality products?

cannot say much as i dont own bulova but from some review it looks special, bulova quartz as far as i know for the classic seville is sweeping second hand and not ticking like usual quartz
