Watches under £85

Budget brands and budget watches?

Watches priced under €100 do not necessarily come from budget brands. Many renowned watchmakers produce excellent timepieces in this price range. In fact, a €50 Casio is often better built and more durable than a trendy 'budget' watch costing €150. The brand is world-famous for legendary, indestructible digital classics like the A168, as well as the more recent MTP-1302 models and entry-level G-Shocks. Timex, a historic American brand known for stylish, durable watches, also offers a wide range of models under €100, spanning everything from plastic children's watches to the classic Weekender. Although the Dutch brand Olympic may not be widely known outside the Netherlands, it is a solid jeweler's brand with an extensive collection priced under €100, featuring everything from classic men's and women's watches to 10 ATM water-resistant digital models. Finally, by choosing Lorus, an official sub-brand of the Seiko Group, you benefit from Seiko quality at a lower price point.
