Why you should get watch under Rs 500 in India?
The number one reason is affordability. We know everyone can’t spend ₹5,000 to get a quality watch but anyone can shell out a MAXIMUM of ₹500 for a decent watch. We have written the word maximum in capital letters because most of the watches cost less than it.
Number two, an affordable watch for men at under Rs 500, gives you the liberty to experiment. You can experiment in colour, aesthetics and watch mechanism (analogue, digital and analogue-digital). Once you feel comfortable, you can get a more expensive watch.
Finally, in a low budget of Rs 500, you can get an occasional or a special purpose watch. Let’s say, you can use it to complement the red shirt you purchased in the last sale or to twin with your friend or partner in the party. This way you’ll not be required to spend a ton of money for special purpose watches. Moreover, you can make a complete outfit at a lower cost.
In short, you should have a budget watch in the wardrobe. It can show its utility anytime and you don’t have anything to lose. This is why we have put together this list of best watches for men under 500.
What to expect from the best watches for men under Rs 500 in India?
For sure, you’ll agree that a watch which cost less than ₹500 isn’t going to last years. But you can expect it to last for enough days that it repays the cost.
We can’t ignore the fact that there could be some great designed watches but still, attention to details will not be like from top brands. For instance, the second hand could miss the markers on the dial or the colours might not be consistent. The good thing is, it doesn’t make any significant difference in your timekeeping or in aesthetics for quick onlookers.
When a watch priced under 500 says that it has a leather strap, you can’t expect it to be genuine. It is most probably a hard PU or faux leather made in factories. It doesn’t age like genuine leather, where it gets more beautiful over time.
Similarly, the case is rarely made out of strong and durable stainless steel. Instead, it is either made of plastic or an economical alloy.
Moreover, the glass on top of the case is mostly made of plastic instead of mineral. Therefore, it is prone to scratches and water-vapours getting inside the dial.
In general, these budget watches don’t have a long warranty. Therefore, you have to be careful and cautious in their usage.
There is nothing unexpected here. To cover the cost of the watch, these mass producers have to compromise on the quality and type of raw material used.
The end watch is pretty satisfactory and functional for an average man but sure will not satisfy a watch enthusiast or a serious watch collector.
