FAQ: Questions you ask yourself
What is the minimum budget for a good, inexpensive women’s watch?
Between €50 and €150. Below €50, you risk a rotten move. Above €150, it’s no longer “cheap”. In this range, you find reliable watches with Miyota or Ronda.
How long does an inexpensive women’s watch last?
With good movement (Miyota): 5-7 years. With an automatic movement: 20+ years if you maintain it. With a bad movement: 1-2 years maximum.
Should you buy from Amazon or the official website?
Amazon if you want an easy and free return. Official website if you want the best guarantee. Both are safe. Avoid unknown marketplaces.
How do you know if a watch is waterproof?
Look at the specs: “3 ATM” = splash resistant. “5 ATM” = can be worn in the shower. “10 ATM” = can be worn in the swimming pool. “20 ATM” = can be worn while diving. For an inexpensive women’s watch, 3-5 ATM is enough.
Can you repair an inexpensive watch?
Yes, but it is rarely profitable. A repair costs 50-100€. If the watch cost €60, you don’t have it repaired. This is why the warranty is important.
What brands do you recommend for an inexpensive women’s watch?
Timex (reliable, classic design), Fossil (stylish, good movement), Skagen (minimalist, Scandinavian design), Bulova (Swiss quality, reasonable price). All use Miyota or Ronda.
Should you buy an automatic or quartz watch?
Quartz if you want something reliable and maintenance free. Automatic if you like mechanical watches and are willing to maintain it. For an inexpensive women’s watch, quartz is more practical.
How to clean an inexpensive women’s watch?
Warm water and mild soap. Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not immerse it in water if it is not waterproof. Do not put it in the dishwasher. It’s simple.
