Top 10 Affordable Watches That Get A Nod From Snobs
Why is it, however, that watch snobs are hard to please? Are they merely measuring up other watch lovers by how much money they are spending? It often appears that way, but that isn’t the precise truth. More accurately, it would be safe to say that most of the timepieces available that have unique or very refined designs and excellent materials, as well as features, tend to be much more expensive. Timepieces are often an inherently expensive item (hence why they are in the luxury category), so it isn’t surprising that cost is often associated with how “nice” something is.
Everyone would love to enjoy deep pockets when it comes to purchasing watches, but the reality is that finding a good watch that is also a really good value takes some work. Fortunately, the aBlogtoWatch team has compiled this list of 10 affordable watches that get a nod from snobs so that you can mingle with the elite timepiece collectors of the world and not feel as though your choice of watch is being immediately dismissed.
This is a great piece, but the most interesting thing that stood out to me is that of the 10 affordable watches listed, only two of them, the Swatch Sistem51 and the Orient dress, are priced under the $349 starting point of the Apple Watch. The other eight watches are all priced above the $349 with most of them priced higher than the steel version Apple Watch which starts at $549.
Really puts the word “affordable” into perspective.
