Good evening,

I’m thinking about picking up my next “big” watch brand. For context, I’ve got a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (arguably my best watch,) a Vostok, two Citizen Eco Drives, a Bulova Marine Star, and a Sternglas (which was a mistake.)

I’ve got a Seiko 5 Arabic on order.

I’m wanting to step up in brands. I feel like Hamilton is a lateral move from Tissot, but Oris and Tudor are too expensive.

I’ve been looking at Longines and Mido, but am open to suggestions.

    Don’t get sucked in by notional value or quality of a brand name. Find a watch you like enough to buy it within your price bracket. Microbrands with little to no name recognition often make brilliant watches. Rise above the marketing!

      This really needs to be the top comment. Buy something that’s meaningful to you. As well as microbrands it’s worth exploring vintage too but go in with your eyes wide open if you explore this route.
