Hmm I have a budget between 200-1000. Is there any minimalist watch that is recommended ?

Seiko. or stretch your budget and get a Tissot Visodate.
I think its above your budget, but the Omega Speedmaster Professional is legendary, google it. As a brand and watchmaker, Omega is above Tag Heuer in the food chain. But buy the one you like.

Thanks for your suggestion ! If I didn't go for the minimalist, how about luminox ?

Off topic - mechanical or automatic ?

Does it work like regular 2893 movement or did longines modify it?
*
It works like regular 2893. It's just up sized. Don't think there is any modification done.

You can't. Its subjective. And it depends from which angle the person is looking at.

Despite the fact the snob and anyone else who bashes Tag Heuer for its silly marketing ad spend, its mass manufactured watches on a production line, its *in house movement* which was conceived in Japan..

Nobody, can, however say that it does not have a racing pedigree. And if you view from that angle, Tag Heuer is good. However, if you look at it from a watch making, haute horology angle.. they are a just doing in house and innovation for brand recognition, such as their belt driven movement, yet their mass watches sold are just ETA wrapped in a nice casing.

Well said.

Seiko wrapped in a nice casing. Branded as tag heuer.

What about ur point of view?

Well if you just want a brand name smacked on a watch and don't care about movement etc. just get a quartz with your favourite brand on it. If you are looking for value for money, seikos are quite unbeatable.

If you want something with rich history, in house movement, horologically significant, be prepared to spend big on JLC, AP, PP and whatnot.

In other words, just get what u like with your set budget.

Only critique to them is too many models have poor legibility so that's a factor to consider.

Or

Seiko SKX007

Only thing I don't like about the skx007 is the bracelet. Change it to an oyster and it would be perfect.

hi guys, im planing to buy a new watch . my budget is below RM 2k. Please suggest me good  watch for that budget.i prefer This Tissot Men's PRC200 Chronograph Watch.

Hmm with your budget, why not go for automatic seikos ? If you must have chronograph then how about UHR which has been suggested a few posts ago.

If you can go with classic looks, maybe the Tissot Visodate ?

I would prefer not to get quartz above a certain price range.
