Casio duro is an excellent option as a starter watch , a beater for around 50 bucks that can essentially do it all , can’t go better than that

If you’d like other watches , these are some of the ones That you might wanna consider : Casio gshock GA 2000/2100 (Casioak) , is a really trendy line with dozens of different color variations, I own the GA-2110ET-8AJF (grey one) & the ga2100srs-7a (the iridescent rainbow one) , this one is really funky & technically illegible in the sun due to its tinted glass , but it’s a really fun piece , both of them go for around 100$ usd

Another beater from casio that i’d recommend looking into is the casio dw290 v1 for 40 bucks , it looks funny but it’s more comfortable to use than other gshock watches i own , I wear when I know that I’m gonna have a long work day in our hospital prison ward or something , you know ,a watch that I don’t need to worry about

If you want a dressy quartz chronograph, I really liked the Timex Q chronograph with the brown leather strap for around 200 bucks

As for mechanical watches , there are a lot of options , but they usually require you to go above 150$ as a starter (there are some exceptions of course, & they require more care so maybe do your research before buying one if you’re new to watches

And if you needed anything or have any questions or just wanted to talk about watches , just hit me up , it’s a fun hobby, a money drain if you go too deep , but fun nevertheless ..

Enjoy!
