All of them are obnoxiously complicated sports watches that most people shouldn’t wear every day.
A very quick introduction to watches and then, below, some suggestions:
Watch lovers love mechanical watches. Mechanical watches are anachronistic; quartz watches are more accurate and less expensive. Good mechanical watches can cost tens of thousands of dollars but are intended to last decades or longer. Patek Philippe, Rolex, and others make watches at this level.
Most people do not want such an expensive watch, and watches in the $30+ range are accurate and reliable. (Timex makes watches at this level.)
For a bit more, you can choose a watch with better finishing details and have more options (style-wise). If you’re willing to spend up to $200 or so you can choose from innumerable styles of quartz watches that will be well-made and reliable. Watches at this level will be steel and, if you wish, gold-plated. Seiko and many others make watches at this level.
(In between extremely good mechanical watches and $200 watches are quartz watches made by serious watch companies that also make mechanical watches. These watches are made of gold so they cost quite a bit more than $200, and their finishing detail is usually very well done. Watches in this range might cost from $1,200 to $15,000+. Baume et Mercier and many others make watches at this level.)
For your first watch, look at Seiko, among others. They make many different styles, their quality is good, and you’ll be happy with one as your first.
