If talks about bargain and good price: performance ratio.

This quartz movement Tissot was bought at RM 580. Just like my Cyma were all bought more than 2 decades ago.

Q&Q, i like this watch but never manage to own one, famous for their Swatch-homage at 1/3 the price.

Me too, the cheapest watch i have bought is Q&Q for RM10.00 each at pasar malam watch stall 4 years ago. So cheap that i bought 4.

2 i stuck on my bikes and another 2 as spare in case it gets stolen. but other than 1 spoiled (due to battery leak damage), the other 3 is running fine to this day with only 1 battery change each. now only 1 is used on bike while the other 2 i wear it occasionally just for the lulz.

That would point to the handful of G-Shocks that I have bought over the years. The basic ones were quite affordable, and you could always flip them easily if you wanted a new style. Cheap and durable.

For quartz... I don't think I remember, that was my primary school time.

However, talking about when I am afford to buy my first mechanical watch, that should be a B Swiss. There's no reseller here. I bought it at Switzerland during my honeymoon many yrs ago. I remember the watch cost me around RM1600. A real swiss made watch n bought in Switzerland. The movement is ETA-2824.

Attach is the picture.

I dug and dug and dug..... finally I found my cheapest watch and it's totally at zero cost! I got it for free after car service done at a workshop.

Watches that I received as gifts can consider cheapest since no money out of my pocket? :D

I love Dr. Martens since I am a kid and my wife recently found and gave me the watch she had as a kid too. That will stay with me.

Seiko 5 SNX115.

I bought it for RM300 last year. But I think I spend more than RM100 to look for that watch. Even travel to different state to look for it. Haha

I do have a MVMT from the very first batch. Not bad but I'd prefer the Movado Edge over it though!

I have a Casio Pro-Trek which I bought over 10 years ago.

Only need a battery changed once.

Everything is working except the compass and light function.

After 10 years I say its worth every penny I paid for
