Share this on WhatsApp

High end watches made with the finest swiss quartz movements and gold plated casing are great. However, there are very few of us who actually have a couple of grand to spend on a watch these days. Personally I’ve never been someone who spends a lot of money on a timepiece. A watch that cost’s more than your car petrifies me and the thought of losing/damaging it would mean it stayed firmly in it’s box. Although watches are not meant to be hidden away, are they? They’re meant to be worn everyday with pride and love!

With this in mind, today I’ve chosen 11 great watches that are built with quality, look ace and probably most importantly won’t break the bank.

Let’s See the 11 Mens Watches Under £200/$300

1. Uniform Wares / 104 Series Wristwatch (Brushed / Orange Rubber)

Uniform Wares manufacture great minimalistic, contemporary men’s watches and my pick of the bunch is this 104 series wristwatch with orange rubber strap. The watches features a 5 jewel swiss quartz movement, stainless steel casing and hardened crystal lens, oh and it’s only £170 … score!
