The 5 Best Watches Under $300

Sapphire crystal, 200 metres of water resistance and a capable in-house automatic movement give the Kamasu an unusually complete package for the price.

Compact proportions and an easy-going design make the SRPE53 the watch we would choose for everyday wear. It is comfortable, versatile and distinctly Seiko.

Built for function rather than refinement, the Promaster combines Eco-Drive convenience with genuine dive-watch capability and rugged construction.

Proper dress-watch proportions and a charming small-seconds display give the Bambino a sense of character rarely found at this price.

The Marlin trades outright specifications for something harder to measure: a genuinely convincing vintage-inspired design with excellent proportions.
