Classy, good value Automatic watch?

topher_2

Hi

I'm after a simple and classy automatic watch. Can anyone recommend a good website and/or make to look at?

I haven't totally decided on my budget but somewhere between £100 and £200 would be ideal.

Thanks!

Maybe a little downmarket for your price-range, but Swatch do a very good range of automatic watches. They have been doing them for the past 10 years or so and I have recently bought a new one from ebay. In the swatch shop they tend to be the upper half of £100.

Hi topher,
Have a look at the Tissot website, there are no prices quoted but they have a nice range to cover all tastes and all pockets, and are looked on in the trade as the BMW / Mercedes of watchs. If you do a general web search for Tissot you will find plenty of sites to check out the prices. Prices range from just under £100 to sell the kids !.
If you are a Tesco customer convert your Clubcard tokens to Deal tokens and visit Goldsmiths high street stores.
I have just done this and am know the proud owner of a automatic Tissot retail price £320, the only cash that changed hands was £5 the rest of the purchase price made up of Tesco deal tokens

I think you get a good watch for you money from Tissot, my gf bought one at the airport a few years ago, its very nicely made and looks alot more expensive than it was.

Link just an example though, I have no idea if they are any good!

Have a look at this item on ebay. 270060673439. I have used these guys before and they are very good. Remember to add 20% to price to cover VAT etc.
