Am looking for a new watch and my budget is below RM 1k. What's is your opinion and recommendation :) classic, modern design or anything. I need ideas :) thankyou In advanced
-
Hi, it is depends on what movement you need. Automatic or Quartz, Swiss, Japan or China. You are able to get a Tissot in Quartz and Orient, Seiko, Citizen in Automatic movement on your budget. Again, still depends on what are you are looking for. You can narrow down a bit on the choices then more direct recommendation can be introduced to you. Only my 2 cents. :)

perhaps casio, luminox, anstead oceanis etc.
-
For around 1k, you can consider Tissot V8 with leather strap.
-
Seiko divers after discount :thumbsup:
-
Take a look at:
Orient mako, orient bambino and symphony
Orient is actually sister company of seiko, and They are highly regards in the wis community.

Thank you for the tip.
My preference would be either Japan or Swiss but not to China. This might be an obvious sense of stereotype towards the quality of their other production, however, you guys are welcome to input any advise to adment my negative perspective about towards China watch.
As in movement of the watch, Mechanical movement is much preferable. But, any great Quartz movement is still welcome :)
Another concern of mine Is that I love leather strap watches but the strap doesn't capable for my daily usage because sweat will make it stink and this is annoying. Being said that I'm looking for a Daily Watch :)

If mechanical, for daily wear,
Anything from Seiko, Orient, Citizen is good. Tissot also come into mind
Last but not least, DW..... hahah :Laughing_on_floor:

FYI J doesn't indicate made in Japan. They are all made in Malaysia, J indicates a specific market.

Yep.
My understanding is that they are all made in Malaysia and designated according to market. In Japan, it is legal to mark an item Made in Japan if it is made in another country under certain conditions.
