Best watch for $100
Post says it all!!
I am doing a secret Santa with me siblings and $100 is the limit. I got one fo my youngest brothers (they’re quadruplets) and are sophomores in high school. I know they all have an interest in watches as they always like to check out what I am wearing. So with that said, what are your buying the next gen?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Seiko 5 sports fits the budget and I particularly like the display/exhibition back. That can be a window into the passion for a younger enthusiast.
Or go Seiko 5 or anything else and lie about the budget. It’s for a good cause :) |

The Seiko 5 for sure. I got my oldest one and he loves it. The exhibition caseback as well is pretty cool for a kid with watch interests. It’s cool enough for what it costs I find myself playing with it at times.

So, a little more but, dang, these are really nice for a quartz watch.... I have a cheaper Timex Expedition that is my mountain biking and backpacking watch and I love the thing.

Yep, except if you don't already love G-Shock, you wouldn't probably hate using it, because of the size of LCD and the numbers showing up. :p
But its oh-so-cool looking and very comfortable on the wrist. I do love both of mine. For $100 automatic, this will be what I pick https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK805-.../dp/B000LTAY1U

Seiko 5 watches are a great deal and many are under $100.

G-Shock or Seiko 5 are the two obvious choices.
