With a limited budget, it is not easy to choose a watch with high cost performance. On the one hand, there are too many brands and models on the market for us to choose from, and it is often difficult to know where to start. On the other hand, it is difficult for us to distinguish the corresponding relationship between price and watch value. This article will introduce you to a series of best watch choices under $300, including excellent timepieces from well-known brands and micro brands.
Watch preferences vary from person to person. When looking for watches under $300, we face a challenge: although there are many options on the market, not all watches can meet our expectations of quality and design. This selection will take into account as many watches of various styles as possible. We only base it on product cost performance. Brand factors and after-sales factors are not within the scope of consideration.
After careful selection, we’ve compiled a list of great watches from some of the biggest brands and micro-brands.
Timex Marlin Jet
Our top pick is a Timex masterpiece, the Marlin Jet. Inspired by jets, this watch is an automatic mechanical watch with a Miota 8000 series movement and a 24-hour subdial, which is not only practical but also beautiful. Its unique domed acrylic watch glass and bowl-shaped dial, plus the chapter ring with the Marlin lettering, make it a very creative and original watch.
