Sports watches, by price

The cheapest analogue Timex in the data, and a 30 m watch, which is the reason it sits this far down. Quartz, 38 mm, mineral crystal, 20 mm lugs, a polished silver-tone brass case at 47.8 g, Indiglo backlight, on a slip-through fabric strap, $77 on timex.com. Timex publishes neither lug-to-lug nor thickness for it, so the table carries two dashes. The Scout at $95 is the alternative for $18 more: 40 mm, 50 m, 11 mm thick, on a strap with spring bars. The Weekender's trade is 20 m of water resistance and two blank columns; what it keeps is the size, 2 mm under the Scout.

The one integrated-bracelet watch under $1,000 in the data, at $399, and the shortest San Martin at 44.5 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, the same figure as the Islander 38 mm diver. 10.55 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire, Miyota 90S5, on a solid 316L bracelet with a 25.5 mm attachment tapering to 18 mm and a butterfly clasp with hidden push-buttons, BGW9 X1 lume. The Original Design index lists it; its page breadcrumb says Classic/Mechanical. The SN0144 is $29 more on a conventional 20 mm lug with the same movement, so the choice is whether you will ever want to change the strap, which here you cannot.

The thinnest mechanical watch on the page at 10.1 mm, and the sport watch to buy at $428 if the divers above are too much case. Miyota 90S5, 39 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 100 m, sapphire with anti-reflective coating, BGW-X1 lume, on a 5-link 316L bracelet tapering from 20 to 16 mm with a fly-adjust clasp. The Jianzhan dial is a ceramic-glaze pattern; the family also has coin-pattern, enamel and mother-of-pearl dials, and a power-reserve version on the Miyota 9132. Against the SN0111-T it gives up 200 m and titanium for 3 mm of thickness and a dress-capable case. The Seiko Cocktail Time at $475 is the dress alternative, 1.7 mm thicker with half the water resistance.

The one to buy if the appeal is the 1980s prototype-racer look in aluminium: $450, 38.5 mm, 40 mm lug-to-lug, 11.4 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, quartz ana-digi with a 1/100-second chronograph, alarm, 3 time zones and an EL backlight, in anodised aluminium (gold, grey or silver) with a 316L caseback, on an FKM rubber strap tapering 20 mm to 18 mm. The 40 mm lug-to-lug is the shortest on this site for a case this size; it fits a 6-inch wrist. Casio's GA2100 at $110 is the ana-digi for a quarter of the money with 200 m; RZE's UTD-8000 at $279 is titanium and 200 m. Autodromo's $450 buys the aluminium, the sapphire and the design.

The only Swiss-made watch under $500 in this data, and at $450 the quartz answer to the Tsuyosa's shape. Swiss quartz, three hands and date, 40 mm, 10.4 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire, Super-LumiNova on the hands, 316L steel with an integrated bracelet on a 12 mm attachment. Tissot publishes no lug-to-lug. The PRX Powermatic 80 automatic in the same case is $850 on tissotwatches.com, 10.93 mm thick; the $484 one incumbent list carries for it is a 2024 number. Against the Citizen Tsuyosa at $495, both are 40 mm, which is the one dimension both makers publish. The PRX's trade is the battery; what it keeps over the Citizen is Swiss made, a published thickness and $45.

The black Tsuyosa, and the retailer's sheet fills in the two figures Citizen's own page leaves blank: 45 mm lug-to-lug and 12 mm thick, from Long Island Watch. Citizen 8210 automatic, 40 mm, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective coating, integrated bracelet, $475 list and $356 on sale there, sold out on the check date; the black page on citizenwatch.com returned a 404. The blue NJ0150-56L on the main list is $495 list and $396 on Citizen's sale, so colour moves the list price by $20. The Tissot PRX quartz at $450 is the alternative in the shape; the Tsuyosa's trade is 50 m.

The integrated-bracelet automatic to buy at $495 list, and $396 on Citizen's own sale on the check date, which is the figure that matters. Citizen (Miyota) 8210 automatic as the page lists it, 40 mm, 50 m, sapphire with anti-reflective coating. Citizen does not publish the lug-to-lug or the thickness, and the 9.1 mm on the page is a band figure, not a lug width, so those columns are dashes. The blue NJ0150-56L is the reference fetched; the black NJ0150-56E is $475 at Long Island Watch (sale $356, sold out). The alternative in the same shape is the Tissot PRX quartz below at $450, Swiss-made, with a battery. The Tsuyosa's trade is two blank columns and 50 m.

The entry to buy if the assembly claim matters: every Nodus product page says designed and assembled in Los Angeles, and only the Vaer A5 here says anything comparable. 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, Seiko NH38 no-date automatic, 100 m, flat-top sapphire, $525 on a bracelet with the brand's own extension clasp. Stone-dial versions are $575 and $600. Frost was out of stock, and Marigold and Void were sold out on the check date; Nodus makes small runs. The Sector II GMT is the same case with an NH34 for $50 more, in the Nodus guide. Against the Islander Port Jefferson at $529 the trade is the movement, NH38 against Miyota 9015, and 50 m.

The Traska for the smallest wrist, at $630: 34.5 mm, 41.5 mm lug-to-lug, 8.75 mm case height (the diagram gives no figure with the crystal), 19 mm lugs, Miyota 9039, 100 m, on a 19 to 15 mm tapered bracelet. Stone dials in onyx, malachite and lapis are $650. Against the Commuter 36 it is 2 mm smaller across, 2.5 mm shorter and $60 less, and it gives up the date option and the 20 mm lug the rest of the range shares, which matters if you already own straps. The alternative outside the house is the Lorier Falcon at $699 in 36 mm; inside it, the Commuter 36 at $690. Buy this one for 41.5 mm and nothing else.

A 1970s compressor case with a day-date at $640 compare-at and $425 selling on Orient USA, sold out on the check date. Orient F6922 automatic, 43.5 mm, 13.9 mm thick, 200 m, domed mineral crystal, a bidirectional inner bezel, 20 mm lugs, on a bracelet; no lug-to-lug is published. The Kamasu on the main list is the same movement at $580 compare-at and $375 selling, with sapphire and an external bezel, $60 less on list and $50 less on the day. The trade is mineral glass on a 13.9 mm case; the argument is a compressor layout Orient sells nowhere else at the price.

The DLC Obscura II at $725 was orderable at check and the steel at $650 was not, so the version worth discussing is the one you can buy. It is the Sector II Sport's case, movement and price band, 38 mm, 47 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm, 100 m, TMI NH38, with a bezel that turns only between 12 and 4 o'clock in 16 clicks: an exposure gauge for the Sunny 16 rule, for which the brand cites US Patent 12,007,722. Against the Sport the gauge costs $125 in steel and $200 in DLC. The gauge is the whole premium; the case beneath it is the Sport's, and the Sport in Glacial could also be ordered.

The 38 mm Unimatic to buy at $655 if the rotating bezel is not needed: against the UC1 at $760 you lose the bezel and 2 mm of case and keep $105. Seiko NH35, 300 m, 2.7 mm double-domed sapphire, 8 mm screw-down crown, on a nylon strap. Unimatic is a Milan design studio and numbers its Classic models in yearly batches. It does not publish lug-to-lug or thickness; the 47.6 mm and 13.7 mm in the table are published measurements rather than the maker's. The Hamilton at $675 is the alternative for the money with every figure filled in by the maker; the Unimatic's answer is 300 m against 50 m. The Unimatic guide covers the numbered editions.

The Commuter to buy if 44 mm lug-to-lug is the limit and you want a date: $690, 36.5 mm, 8.75 mm case (10.5 mm with the crystal), 20 mm lugs, 100 m, with a 9039 no-date or a 9015 date at the same price. Stone dials are $710. The 20 to 16 mm bracelet has a six-position quick-adjust clasp. Against the Commuter 38 the case is 2 mm smaller and 2 mm shorter for $10 less, on the same thickness and the same movement options, so the choice between them is wrist and nothing else. The Lorier Falcon at $699 is 36 mm, 44 mm and 8.8 mm, $9 more, unhardened and without the date.

The sports watch at $699, and on the numbers the pick for a wrist under 6.5 inches: 36 mm, 44 mm lug to lug, 8.8 mm of case plus a 1.6 mm domed crystal, 100 m, Miyota 9039, Ref. 325080, on a three-link bracelet with screw pins. The prior Falcon Series III was on Hesalite; this one is sapphire. The alternative for the same money is the Neptune, which adds 100 m and a rotating bezel for a case 3 mm larger, 2 mm longer lug to lug and 1.5 mm thicker. The trade is that the Falcon and the Astra are one case, so the choice inside the pair comes down to the dial and the clasp.

The everyday watch to buy at $700 for the case: a proprietary hardening quoted at about 1,200 HV, without a trade name. 38.5 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 8.75 mm case and 10.5 mm with the box sapphire, Miyota 9039 (no date) or 9015 (date), 100 m, on a bracelet tapering 20 to 16 mm. Assembly location is not stated; the warranty is three years, transferable. Traska's storefront showed every model unavailable on the check date. The Summiteer is the same case with a field dial at $700; the Commuter 36 is $690, the 34 $630. The Lorier Neptune at $699 is the alternative: 200 m and a bezel for a 12-month warranty against three. See the Traska guide.

Not on the brand's site on the check date, and in because the price and the successor are both facts: $775 on the bracelet, from a 2021 owner's review, and a Series II that Halios's upcoming page puts at the very end of 2026. 39 mm, 48 mm lug-to-lug, 12.4 mm thick, Sellita SW200-1 no-date, 200 m, domed sapphire, a bidirectional bezel with a sapphire insert. The lug-to-lug is 1.5 mm longer than the 40 mm Seaforth IV's, and the Seaforth at $765 is the Halios you can join a batch for. The Seaforth is the one without the rotating bezel; the Fairwind is the one you cannot order.

The PRX for a wrist the 40 mm one overhangs, and $55 less for the same movement. 35 mm, 10.93 mm thick, the same Powermatic 80 with its 80-hour reserve and Nivachron spring, 100 m, sapphire with AR on the underside, on the integrated bracelet, $795. Tissot publishes no lug-to-lug for either size, and the 11 mm attachment means the bracelet is the strap. The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38 at $845 is the alternative with a published 47 mm lug-to-lug and a strap that changes. The PRX's trade is its sibling's: the case is the bracelet, and the maker will not say how long it is.

The integrated-bracelet Tissot to buy at $850, which is the US list after the 2025 rise and the reason the $484 and $675 on the older lists no longer hold. Powermatic 80, an ETA C07-based automatic with an 80-hour reserve and a Nivachron balance spring, 40 mm, 10.93 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire, black dial. Tissot publishes no lug-to-lug, and the attachment is 12 mm, integrated. The quartz PRX in the same case is $450 and the 35 mm Powermatic is $795. The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38 at $845 is the alternative for the money with a published lug-to-lug; the PRX's trade is that blank column.

The Autodromo proper, numbered 150 per colour: $895, 43 mm, 46 mm lug-to-lug, 11 mm thick, 50 m, sapphire, Miyota 9039 automatic, no date, stainless steel, on handmade Italian leather tapering 20 mm to 16 mm with a polished roller buckle. The 46 mm lug-to-lug on a 43 mm dial is the whole case argument: it is 2 mm shorter than the 39 mm Halios Fairwind at $775 and the same length as the 39 mm Lorier Hyperion. Traska's Commuter 38 at $700 runs the same 9039 in a hardened 38.5 mm case, 46 mm long, for $195 less; Halios's Universa II at $995 gives a Sellita SW300-1. The Monoposto gives the dial and the number.

Not for sale on the check date, so the price is a fact about a batch still in production: completion scheduled for Q1 2027, pre-orders opening soon. 38 mm, 48 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm thick, Sellita SW300-1 no-date with a 56-hour reserve per the brand, 100 m, double-domed sapphire with AR, steel bracelet, $995, in 5N Gold or Galvanic Blue with a third dial to come. It is a 38 mm watch with a longer lug-to-lug than the 40 mm Seaforth IV, 48 mm against 46.5 mm; measure your wrist first. The Vitreous Enamel Series is the same watch with a lead-free enamel dial at $1,095, on the same schedule. Assembled, tested and shipped from Vancouver per the brand.

The cheapest Yema at list and by a distance at the shown price, $697, and sold out in all 3 dials: 39 mm, 11.4 mm thick, 100 m, YEMA2000 in-house automatic with a 42-hour reserve, 2.2 mm double-domed sapphire, fixed bezel, on an integrated-style 24 mm lug, $1,040 list. No lug-to-lug is published and no lume is listed. The Wristmaster Slim CMM.20 and CMM.29 above it are $2,449 to $2,649. At $697 it was the cheapest in-house calibre in the range; at $1,040 list the Formex Field at $975 is the Sellita alternative with a 65-hour reserve, 150 m and a stated 46.6 mm lug-to-lug. The 24 mm integrated-style lug narrows the strap choice, and that is on the sheet.

The cheaper Mido, $90 under the Powerwind in the main list, and the one with the pool rating: 100 m against 50 m. 42 mm, 11 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, Caliber 80 with a Nivachron spring and an 80-hour reserve, sapphire with double AR, on the bracelet, $1,090. No lug-to-lug is published. It is 2 mm larger and 1.1 mm thinner than the Powerwind, and gives up the day-date. The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42 at $845 on the under-$1,000 list is the alternative with the same 80 hours and a published 53 mm lug-to-lug; the Mido's trade is $245 for the anti-magnetic spring and the blank column.

The dial is the whole $100: the Vitreous Enamel Universa II is the standard watch, 38 mm, 48 mm lug to lug, 11.8 mm, 100 m, Sellita SW300-1, with a lead-free vitreous enamel dial fired on a 999 silver base and the lume set in champlevé reservoirs, at $1,095. Four dials: Sapphire, Turquoise, Jessamine, Mercury. Same Q1 2027 schedule. It is the most expensive Halios and the only one over $1,000, which keeps it off the under-$1,000 lists on this site. The alternative for $100 less is the standard Universa II in 5N Gold or Galvanic Blue. The trade is $100 for a fired dial, and nothing else on the sheet moves.

The 50 m rating is the lowest on the list, and it is a rain rating rather than a pool one, so $1,180 buys the day-date and the Nivachron spring, not depth. 40 mm, 12.1 mm thick, 19 mm lugs, Caliber 80 with an 80-hour reserve, sapphire with AR on the underside, blue dial, on the bracelet. No lug-to-lug is published and Mido's page states no lume. Mido's own alternatives are the Multifort M at $1,090 (42 mm, 100 m) and the Ocean Star 200C at $1,360 on the under-$2,000 list; all three sit over $1,000 on the US site. Other Powerwind variants showed $1,250 in a search snippet and were not fetched.

The Bravur to start with at $1,195: 37 mm, 44.6 mm lug-to-lug, 100 m, screw-down crown, Sellita SW200 with 41 h and no date, BGW9 lume at 3, 6, 9 and 12, on FKM rubber, perforated leather or a Milanese, with a black PVD option. The REN, PEU and MER variants are the same price. Thickness is not published. Christopher Ward's C65 Dune in 38 mm is £970 at 11.7 mm and 43.6 mm lug-to-lug with 150 m; Serica's 7505 is $1,290 at 35 mm, 41.5 mm and 9.6 mm with a COSC certificate. The Bravur gives a Swedish build and an 18 mm lug, and the lug is the thing to check before ordering.

The Farer to buy at $1,220, for the La Joux-Perret G101 in soignée grade and a 45 mm lug-to-lug on a 39 mm case. 11.8 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 100 m, boxed sapphire with inner AR, exhibition back, Grade X2 Super-LumiNova with ceramic numerals, on leather or Milanese (£1,095 in the UK). The Alert, Venture and Aurora are the same line at the same price. Designed in London and Swiss made per the brand. For $150 more, the Endeavour Aqua Compressor at $1,370 (41.5 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 12.5 mm, grade 2 titanium, 300 m, twin compressor crowns) was sold out, with the Hecla Hunter Green in stock at the same price: the same lug-to-lug on a case 2.5 mm larger, and three times the rating.

The steel Dune at $1,335 on the bracelet, without the COSC certificate the bronze one carries on the under-$1,000 list. 38 mm, 43.6 mm lug-to-lug, 11.7 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, Sellita SW200-1, 150 m, box sapphire, a fixed bezel, Grade X1 lume. The 43.6 mm lug-to-lug is the shortest of any 38 mm watch here; the Serica 6190 is 46.5 mm. The C65 Trident Diver and Aquitaine GMT have left the catalogue, so this is the C65 three-hander that remains. The Serica at $1,290 is the alternative: COSC, 200 m, 1.3 mm thinner. The Dune's trade is $45 more for 2.9 mm less length and no certificate.

The integrated-bracelet sport watch at $1,360 on steel, $1,160 on canvas: 37 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 12.65 mm thick, 100 m, 22 mm lug, Soprod P024, push-button deployant. The catalogue branches from here: MK2 cases in 38 mm and 41 mm at $1,160 to $1,860, stone dials in meteorite, lapis and aventurine at $1,360 to $1,760, titanium MK1 at $1,560 to $1,760. Christopher Ward's The Twelve in 38 mm is £1,095 at 9.95 mm and 43.3 mm lug-to-lug; Farer's Cuprum Integra is £1,450 at 10.3 mm. The F77 is 2.7 mm thicker than the Twelve at the same 100 m, and the 22 mm lug narrows the strap choice. Buy it for the 37 mm and the 1977 shape.

The three-hand Sealander at $1,375 on the bracelet, and the 2026 version runs the Sellita SW200-2 Power+ where the Tridents run the SW200-1. 39 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 10.9 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 150 m, sapphire with AR, a fixed bezel; pre-order for the end of October on the check date. Against the Trident 38 at the same $1,375: 1 mm larger, 0.1 mm thinner, 150 m less, no bezel, the newer calibre. The Halios Universa II at $995 is the alternative with an SW300-1 and 100 m, when its batch opens. The Sealander's trade is $380 more for 50 m and a maker that ships to a date.

The Twelve at $1,495 on the integrated bracelet in its smallest size, and the shortest watch on the page: 40.8 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case. 9.95 mm thick, Sellita SW200-1 with a 38-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR, a twelve-sided fixed bezel, Grade X1 lume; the sterling page lists a rubber version at £885. All three steel sizes are $1,495 and 9.95 mm; only the length changes, 40.8, 43.3 and 44.5 mm. The Vaer A12 at $1,099 is the alternative at 36 mm: 43 mm long, 10.4 mm, Swiss assembled, on a strap. The Twelve's trade is $396 for the bracelet and 0.45 mm.

The middle Twelve, 38 mm and 43.3 mm lug-to-lug, at the same $1,495 as the other two. 9.95 mm thick, Sellita SW200-1, 38-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR, the twelve-sided bezel on the integrated bracelet, Grade X1 lume. It is the size that puts the Twelve against the Serica 6190 at $1,290: 38 mm each, the Serica 46.5 mm long and 10.4 mm thick with a COSC certificate and 200 m, the Twelve 3.2 mm shorter, 0.45 mm thinner, on a bracelet you cannot swap. The Serica is the alternative for $205 less; the Twelve's trade is the integrated case and the 38-hour reserve against a chronometer.

The 40 mm Twelve, $1,495 and on pre-order on the check date, 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 1.2 mm longer than the 38 and 3.7 mm longer than the 36 for the same money. 9.95 mm thick, Sellita SW200-1 with a 38-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR, the integrated bracelet, Grade X1 lume. The titanium Twelve 40 is $2,295 on the under-$2,500 list. The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 at $850 on the under-$1,000 list is the integrated-bracelet alternative for $645 less, 0.98 mm thicker with 80 hours against 38; the Twelve's trade is $645 for a published lug-to-lug, a thinner case and a shorter reserve.

The entry to the range at $1,595, sold out, and the only automatic: 40 mm, Sellita SW400-1 with 38 h and 26 jewels, sapphire, polished bezel over brushed lugs, black perforated calfskin racing strap with a red lining, made in Switzerland. Thickness, lug-to-lug and water resistance are not stated; the specs come from the feed description, so treat the row as medium confidence. For the same money with a full sheet, Farer's Resolute III, $1,220 on a La Joux-Perret G101 at 39 mm, 45 mm lug-to-lug and 11.8 mm, is one; MONTA's Noble 40 is $1,895 with 200 m. The Dato-Racer is the racing dial and the name; the sheet has three blanks.

Biel-assembled and COSC-certified at $1,890, with the brand's Case Suspension System; the certificate sits on a Sellita SW200-2 Power+ rather than a Soprod. 41 mm, 46.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.6 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 100 m, sapphire front and back, Super-LumiNova BGW9, steel bracelet with quick release, in the store's dollar pricing (CHF 1,400 to 1,500; $1,690 to $1,890 by strap per the store API). Designed, developed and assembled at the Biel headquarters per the brand. The Essence 39 is $1,850 to $1,980 (45.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10 mm, 65-hour reserve) and was on pre-order; the Essence Leggera 41 in a 40 g carbon composite case is $1,995, mostly out of stock; the Essence 43 has left the catalogue. The Serica 5303 at $1,850 is the certified watch with 300 m; the Formex is the certified watch with the suspension and 100 m.

The entry to the high-end tier and the odd one out on lug width: 24 mm, against 20 mm on every other Zelos. 40 mm, 45.5 mm lug-to-lug, 10.2 mm thick, 50 m, a skeletonised Marvin 700 hand-wound under box sapphire, a sandblasted titanium case with a white Cerakote mid-case, on FKM rubber with a titanium buckle, $1,899. Sold out; the Mokume and Damascus versions were $2,499 and also gone. The Skyraider 40 Skeleton at $2,499 is the same movement in tantalum on a 20 mm lug, 0.3 mm thinner; the $600 is the metal. At 50 m this is a dress watch in a sports case, and the rubber strap should not persuade anyone otherwise.

The integrated-bracelet Farer, and the one a US buyer cannot price in dollars: £1,450, no US figure at check, and sold out besides. 38.5 mm, 42 mm lug to lug, 10.3 mm thick, 100 m, Sellita SW300-1 in Top Grade finish, on a 24 mm steel bracelet with a rubber strap in the box. The Eastern Arabic and Tenebris editions list at £1,495 (the former at $1,695 in the US), the Viridis and Perlarum stone dials at £1,550. The alternative on the same movement is the Barnwell at $1,525, a grade lower, 1.5 mm larger and 1 mm longer lug to lug. The trade is availability: the Barnwell can be ordered, and this cannot.

The Essence to buy if the wrist is under 7 inches: 45.5 mm lug to lug ties the Reef 39.5 for the shortest orderable case (only the sold-out Aria is shorter, at 45.45 mm) and 10 mm is the thinnest bar the 6.9 mm Aria. $1,850 to $1,980 (CHF 1,470 to 1,570) from strap to bracelet, meteorite dials at CHF 1,850 to 1,990, 39 mm, 20 mm lugs, 100 m, Sellita SW200-2 Power+ COSC with a 65-hour reserve, Case Suspension System stated. On pre-order at check. The alternative is the Essence 41, the same watch scaled up by 2 mm and cheaper on a strap. The trade is the wait, and $160 for the smaller size.

Buy the Leggera for the 40 g case or not at all: against the steel Essence 41 the $105 buys the carbon fibre composite and costs 0.4 mm of thickness. $1,995 (CHF 1,780), with Forged Carbon at CHF 1,950 and meteorite dials at CHF 2,150. 41 mm, 46.4 mm lug to lug, 11 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 100 m, Sellita SW200-2 Power+ COSC, Case Suspension System stated, on NATO, calf leather or rubber with a carbon composite folding clasp; no bracelet is offered. Most colourways were out of stock at check. The alternative is the steel Essence 41 on its bracelet at $1,890. The trade is a bracelet you cannot have, and stock you may not find.

The cheapest entry and the first manufacture calibre on this ladder: $2,070 buys NOMOS Glashütte's own hand-wound DUW 4001 and a 100 m rating in an 8.5 mm case. 38.5 mm, 46.7 mm lug-to-lug, 20 mm lugs, domed sapphire, screwed steel back, Super-LumiNova on numerals, indexes and hands, on the US store. Other Club Campus 38 dials are priced similarly and were not fetched individually. 100 m at 8.5 mm hand-wound is the number; the Tangente 35 below is 6.2 mm and 50 m. Against the Serica Parade at $1,760 on the under-$2,000 list (35 mm, 8.2 mm, 100 m, COSC), the Club is 3.5 mm larger, 0.3 mm thicker and $310 more. The manufacture calibre is what the $310 buys; the certificate is what it gives up.

The one non-mechanical entry, here because Seiko publishes the full sheet where several mechanical rivals on this page do not. 41.2 mm, 48.5 mm lug-to-lug, 12 mm thick, Seiko 3X62 GPS solar, 100 m, sapphire, titanium with Seiko's super-hard coating, LumiBrite on hands and indexes, $2,200. No lug width is published. It is the entry-level Astron; the range runs $2,200 to $3,300 on the US site per a search snippet. The Grand Seiko SBGX261 quartz at 37 mm is the watch most people weigh it against, and it is $2,700 on the live page, over the line, against $2,300 in Grand Seiko's own November 2024 price list. The Astron is the one that sets itself; the Grand Seiko is the one with the name.

$2,295 on the titanium bracelet, read from Christopher Ward's listing page in a browser because its product pages could not be read, so the table carries dashes for everything but the 40 mm and the 12-sided, triple-finished bezel. The movement is the Sellita SW200-1 the range uses, not a figure from the page. The steel Twelve 40 at $1,495 on the under-$1,500 list is the same design with a read sheet: 44.5 mm lug-to-lug, 9.95 mm, 100 m, for $800 less. The titanium buys the material and nothing this site can read. Until the product page loads, the steel is the one this site can vouch for.

$400 over the HydroConquest for 200 m less and no bezel; the difference Longines' page gives is the silicon balance spring. 41 mm, automatic at 25,200 vph with a 72-hour reserve, 100 m, sapphire with AR on both sides, Super-LumiNova, sunray black dial, on the bracelet, $2,400. The US page publishes no lug-to-lug, thickness, lug width or calibre name, so the table shows dashes. The HydroConquest at exactly $2,000 on the under-$2,000 list has the same 72-hour reserve at 300 m with a bezel. The Spirit 40 at $2,550 is over the line by $50 on the bracelet and COSC-certified per its page; the Spirit 37 showed $2,850 on the same site.

The thinnest Fears and the cheapest, £2,458.33 excluding VAT on the bracelet and £2,625 on leather. 39.5 mm, 46.95 mm lug-to-lug, 9.98 mm thick with the closed caseback and 10.37 mm with the open one, 20 mm lugs, 150 m, La Joux-Perret G100 with 68 hours, sapphire with ARdur on both sides, X1-grade Super-LumiNova in blue, 316L with a screw-down crown and back; a three-link bracelet with micro-adjust or black buffalo leather. Against the Brunswick 40 below at £2,791.67 on strap: £333.34 less, 1.92 mm thinner, the same 150 m and the same calibre. The bracelet is cheaper than the leather, which is unusual and worth knowing.

The floor of the range at HKD 28,000, and the way into the Perception case without the Pequignet: a pietersite stone dial on a Dandong SL1588 automatic, customised, 32 jewels, 4 Hz, 41 hours. 40 mm, 47 mm lug to lug, 9.4 mm thick, 100 m, 904L steel on a brushed 904L bracelet with quick release and micro-adjust, Super-LumiNova X1 on hands and chapter ring, semi-display back. It sold in a window from 28 January to 6 February 2026; the first 225 numbered pieces deliver Q2 2026 and later orders Q4 2026. The Perception v3 is HKD 9,750 more for the guilloché and 24 extra hours of reserve.

An in-house COSC day-date on an integrated bracelet for $3,675 at Brent Miller, a US retailer, and the cheapest Tudor manufacture calibre on the page. 40 mm, 11.4 mm thick, 100 m, MT5633 tuned to -2/+4 seconds a day with about 70 hours, sapphire, fixed steel bezel, five-link bracelet; the 9 mm in the lug column is the integrated attachment, so no strap goes on it. The Royal 38 that older lists name is gone; the 2026 collection is 28, 36 and 40 mm. The Ranger 39 above is $350 more for standard 20 mm lugs and no day. The integrated bracelet is the trade.

A ceramic case on a ceramic bracelet under a certified movement, $3,690, and the entire line was out of stock on the check date. 41 mm, 46.2 mm lug-to-lug, 11.2 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 100 m, Soprod Newton P092 automatic, COSC, sapphire front and back with AR, zirconium-oxide case, fixed ceramic bezel and solid-link ceramic bracelet with a micro-adjustable clasp, Super-LumiNova BGW9, the brand's Case Suspension System, in the store's dollar pricing (CHF 2,990). The ceramic alternative is the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic at $4,600 in the notes (43 mm, 14.6 mm): the Formex is 2 mm smaller, 3.4 mm thinner and $910 less, and its page states a certificate and a water-resistance figure where the Rado page read gave neither.

The thinnest mechanical watch on the page, and the NOMOS Glashütte with a sports rating: 200 m at 8.4 mm on the brand's own DUW 3001, a 3.2 mm automatic. 37 mm, 47.7 mm lug-to-lug, 18 mm lugs, sapphire with AR inside, Super-LumiNova on numerals, indexes and hands, on the steel bracelet, $4,140 on the US store (€2,860 on the international page). The dress alternatives from the same maker are the Metro 38 date at $3,740 (38.5 mm, 45.3 mm lug-to-lug, 7.8 mm, hand-wound DUW 4601, 52 hours, 50 m) and the Tangente neomatik 41 Update at $4,870 (40.5 mm, 49.3 mm, 7.8 mm, DUW 6101 ring date, 50 m); the Club Campus at $2,070 opens the under-$2,500 list. The 47.7 mm lug-to-lug is long for 37 mm; measure before ordering.

An integrated-bracelet sports watch on Baume & Mercier's Baumatic calibre, $4,300 at Teddy Baldassarre, an authorised retailer, because baume-et-mercier.com timed out twice; the retailer's title calls the BM13-1975A a COSC chronometer and the page names nothing else. 42 mm, steel, and that is the whole spec sheet this site could read: no water resistance, thickness, lug-to-lug, crystal or lume. Grey-market listings ran $2,886 to $3,120 in a search snippet, at least $1,180 under the retailer figure. The Tudor Royal 40 above is $625 less on an integrated bracelet with an in-house COSC day-date and a stated 11.4 mm. This row is a price and a diameter.

The Atelier Wen most people mean, HKD 37,750, and the cheapest hand-turned guilloché dial on this site: écailles de poisson cut in Cheng Yucai's workshop. 40 mm, 47 mm lug to lug, 10.4 mm thick, 100 m, 904L steel on a 904L bracelet with a patent-pending micro-adjust, FKM rubber as an option, on a customised Pequignet EPM03 at chronometer grade with 65 hours, under a 10-layer anti-reflective box sapphire with a full exhibition back. Not limited, but allocated: the first 300 were spoken for and new orders deliver from December 2026. The original Perception at HKD 25,800 is sold out. The Millésime is 1 mm thinner and HKD 9,750 less; the difference is the dial and the movement.

The cheapest Omega at US list, $6,200 on the bracelet and $5,800 on leather, the 2025 reference with the 8806 Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS). 38 mm, 150 m, sapphire, a fixed bezel, 316L steel. Omega's technical tab did not load, so thickness and between-lugs are dashes, and the 150 m is Omega's Railmaster figure rather than a line from the fetched page. Against the Tudor Black Bay 41 at $5,325: $875 more, 3 mm smaller, a METAS certificate against COSC plus METAS, no rotating bezel and no date. What Omega sells here is the certificate and the finishing it does not quantify.

The floor of the Rolex catalogue at US list, $6,750 on rolex.com/en-us, and the figure is list: what an authorised dealer has and quotes is another matter this page does not price. 36 mm, 100 m, calibre 3230 automatic, Superlative Chronometer, about 70 hours, sapphire, Oystersteel, domed bezel. Rolex publishes no thickness, lug-to-lug or lug width. The Oyster Perpetual 41 is $7,050 as reference 134300; the 124300 page most lists link to now says it is not available. Against the Tudor Black Bay 58 above at $5,350: 3 mm smaller, rated 100 m shallower, no bezel to turn, and a Superlative Chronometer where Tudor states COSC plus METAS. The $1,400 between them buys the crown.

$7,050 at list on rolex.com/en-us for the Oyster Perpetual in its largest size, and the reference is now 134300; the 124300 page the older lists link to says it is not available. 41 mm, 100 m, calibre 3230, Superlative Chronometer, about 70 hours, sapphire, Oystersteel, a domed bezel, pistachio dial. No thickness, lug-to-lug or lug width published, as with every Rolex. Against the Oyster Perpetual 36 above at $6,750: $300 more for 5 mm of diameter and nothing else on the sheet. Against the Omega Aqua Terra 41 below at $7,100: $50 less and 50 m shallower, and list is not availability at Rolex.

$7,100, the same as the 41 mm, and on the check date the US page said this reference was currently unavailable online; the newer 38 mm steel-on-steel references beside it, marked NEW, list $7,400. 38 mm, 150 m, the 8800 Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS) with 55 hours, sapphire, a fixed bezel, 316L steel, blue dial, on the bracelet. No thickness or between-lugs. It is the smaller Aqua Terra at $900 over the Railmaster 38, and the $900 buys the date and the 8800 in place of the 8806; the sheet shows nothing else between them. The Railmaster is the plainer watch and the one Omega was selling online that day.

$7,100 on the US page for the 41 mm Aqua Terra on the bracelet, with the 8900 Co-Axial Master Chronometer (METAS), 150 m, sapphire, a fixed bezel and 316L steel; the steel-on-steel variants beside it list $7,400 and the "NEW" rubber-strap version $7,800. No thickness or between-lugs. Against the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 at $7,050: $50 more, 50 m deeper, a date, and a METAS certificate where Rolex states its own. Against the Seamaster 300 Heritage at $8,000: $900 less, 150 m shallower, no rotating bezel. The 38 mm below is the same money; the choice is wrist size, made without a lug-to-lug.

The thinnest automatic on the page at 8.82 mm, $8,400 on cartier.com/en-us, sold with the bracelet and a leather strap. A 41.9 by 35.1 mm steel case, 100 m (10 bar), calibre 1847 MC automatic, sapphire, fixed screwed bezel; the table's case column carries the 41.9 mm length. Only the Formex Aria below at 6.9 mm is thinner, and that is a micro-rotor calibre at 30 m. The Tank Must SolarBeat at $4,400 is Cartier's quartz on the under-$5,000 list, 6.6 mm in a 33.7 by 25.5 mm case. Against the Rolex Datejust 36 at $8,350 in the notes: $50 more, a published thickness against none, and no chronometer certificate stated where Rolex states one.

The second Grand Seiko, from Evolution 9 rather than Heritage, $9,800 on grand-seiko.com/us-en, $200 under the line, and the most expensive watch here below the Zenith. 40 mm, 47.9 mm lug-to-lug, 11.8 mm thick, 22 mm lugs, 100 m, 9RA2 Spring Drive 5 Days with self-winding and manual winding, dual-curved sapphire, steel. Against the Snowflake above at $6,900: 1 mm smaller, 1.1 mm shorter lug-to-lug, 0.7 mm thinner, steel where the Snowflake is titanium, five days of reserve stated in the name, and $2,900 more. Of everything at this money it is the page that publishes the most dimensions; the Zenith's, at $10,000, publishes none that could be read.

Exactly $10,000 on the Zenith US page, counted as in, and the row is medium confidence: the technical-feature counters (diameter, water resistance, power reserve) render as animated zeros in text, so the rating and crystal are dashes. 41 mm, from the page title; El Primero 3620 automatic with a 1/10th-second indicator; steel; fixed octagonal faceted bezel; on the bracelet. The Chronomaster Original 38 is $11,100 on the bracelet and $10,600 on strap, both over; its reverse-panda reference returns a 404 on the US site. Against the Grand Seiko SLGA021 at $9,800: $200 more, and every dimension the Grand Seiko page publishes is one the Zenith page did not deliver.

The sports model, about EUR 9,000 on average as bespoke, EUR 5,000 deposit, about 6 months: 40 mm in titanium, 48 mm lug to lug, 10.65 mm thick, 100 m, sapphire front and back, integrated metal bracelet with a Delugs rubber strap in the box, La Joux-Perret G100 with 68 hours under a fluted titanium rotor. At 48 mm it is the longest Sartory-Billard by 1 mm over the SB06. Against the SB04-E the EUR 4,000 is titanium, the bracelet and 2 more months; the Zelos Spearfish Dual Time Ti at $2,199 is the titanium sports rival in this data, on a Sellita with a module.

The highest ceiling on the page after Sartory-Billard, and the dial is the reason: grand feu enamel on 925 silver by Kong Lingjun's workshop, in a 40 mm case of 99.9% tantalum, 45 mm lug-to-lug, 10.2 mm thick, 100 m, on a customised Girard-Perregaux GP03300 with 48 hours. HKD 233,900 on the maker's site, 100 a year, 50% deposit, sold out with dispatch stated for Q4 2026; the Shuò edition with Massena LAB is HKD 326,300. Below it the Perception v3 (HKD 37,750) carries hand-turned guilloché by Cheng Yucai's workshop on a customised Pequignet EPM03, and the Perception Millésime 2025 at HKD 28,000 runs a Dandong SL1588. Made in China with the artisans named, which is the disclosure this ranking rewards. Warranty five years including shipping to service partners.

The Inflection with a solid 18k gold dial, rose or white, hand-finished in tremblage, in an edition of 50 with Massena LAB, HKD 326,300 on Atelier Wen's own feed, where it was listed in stock at check. Massena LAB's page showed it sold out at USD 44,100, and that is the only dollar figure anywhere in the range; it is the retailer's price, not the maker's. The sheet is the Inflection's: 40 mm, 45 mm lug to lug, 10.2 mm thick, 100 m, tantalum bracelet or FKM sailcloth, customised GP03300. Against the standard Inflection the HKD 92,400 is the gold and the tremblage, and the edition size against 100 a year.

A collaboration rather than a Massena LAB own-brand piece: Atelier Wen's Inflection case with a hand-guillochéd rose-gold dial, sold through Massena LAB at $44,100, the only dollar figure anywhere for an Inflection. It is here for completeness and for the number, which is the highest on the site by a wide margin. Atelier Wen's own Inflection allocations are priced in Hong Kong dollars on its site and run on a Girard-Perregaux GP03300; the guide for the brand has the rest. Nothing else in the data competes with it, and it would be dishonest to pretend something does.
