I don't want to go over $100. Not looking to flaunt anything expensive just have a decent simple watch.What's your budget?
I think that looks like a good option to fill that role, especially if you want to get only one watch rather than several of different styles.trying to figure out a decent affordable watch that I can wear with most of my wardrobe
Automatic watches are great but the eventually need a service. Not sure of the cost on a Seiko service but my Hamilton runs about a hundred every 5 to 8 years. My Omega Speedmaster Day/Date due to its complex movement runs about 325 every 8 years. Which really isn't bad compaired to changing the battery in a 500 meter dive watch that costs me 125 every 3 years mainly due to replacing seals and the 500m water test. Very few places test that deep.
I think of the Seiko 5 watches as nearly being disposable (in a good way). Meaning wear one in good health for 10-25+ years or however long one can get decent service from it. Then if the watch has sentimental appeal get it serviced or replace the movement, otherwise it has done the task (like your everyday commuting vehicle) and get a new one.
Agreed. When the time comes I'm not paying to service any of my 0-150$ mechanical watches. Maybe by then I will have learned to do it myself.
