Affordable watch prices

[chuckmiller]

For you individually what is the ceiling max price range for an "affordable" watch?

I just accepted the $1k generally stated on the other forum, do it has been my cut off for affordable/not for years

Yeah I would say affordability really relates to what you are getting for your money. Typically around the £1k mark is affordable, however paying £2k for a watch that typically would retail for £5k could be viewed as affordable too

My first post on this was poorly worded. It implied your personal watch buying power. Let me try again.

What, in your opinion, is generally accepted to be the max price of the "affordables watch segment". $100? $500?
Are micro-brands generally in the "affordables" range?

...paying £2k for a watch that typically would retail for £5k could be viewed as affordable too

I would call that a "bargain buy". Getting a $50,000 watch for $10,000 is a great bargain but a $50,000 watch is not generally in the "affordables" segment.

The monthly food bill of a family of four.

That is your affordable threshold?

How old are the kids in said family? If teenagers, yoir budget increases exponentially

Currently, I'd view it as around the $500-$600 dollar mark.

[is that my watch]

think it simple put at being able to spend it with out thinking of it spur buy item ..well is for me if I think hmmm that ant cheap then makes one think alot more before buying so most of mine i would say £50 or under ... but then again with a lot of thought put in a few hundred maybe for something special... a grand max is my motto full stop on watches

That's reasonable to me, I think the average person would think it's around $100.
