Our view
Decent, without standing out
22 of the 42 quartz watches within 20% of its price are better equipped (crystal, water resistance, titanium). You choose it for its design or its brand, not for its spec sheet.
Depending on what you want
- If a sapphire crystal matters to you, look at the LIP Nautic 3 Quartz, which has one for €349.
- If you dive, the Swiss Military Plongée SM34088.03 goes down to 200 m for €399.
- If your wrist is slim, the Tissot PRX 35mm Quartz measures only 35 mm, at €395.
- If you would rather have an automatic movement at the same price, the Orient Mako RA-AA0824L39B has one, at €379.
