The best men’s watch up to 300 euros – trendy watches in comparison

My research into wristwatches began a few years ago. I was looking for a stylish and at the same time flat watch, which should also be robust and durable. Unfortunately, I could not record any satisfactory experiences and my purchased models gave up the ghost after a short time due to various quality defects – a tragedy: Especially scratches on the glass and possible brittleness spoiled my view of the actually quite handsome piece of jewelry on my arm several times, with many models it was simply lacking in the processing or quality. So I decided to do better and MNMA was born. This article offers you the current state of popular watches up to 300 Euro, of course including our own watch creation.

Enjoy the read.

We have compared a variety of trendy watches from different manufacturers, which have been praised by lifestyle magazines and fashion bloggers, and have clearly compiled the most important key data of the watches.

Trendy or popular men’s watches up to 300 euros – What you can value when buying a new one

So that you are well informed before the purchase of a watch to 300 euros, what matters, I have summarized, on which basic components you should pay attention. Because only if the overall package is flawless can you avoid annoying bad purchases that only cost you more in the end. After all, you want to enjoy your watch for a long time and not have it repaired or damaged in the short term.

No-name movements are not recommended, as they usually have poor stability. Swiss movements like Ronda or brands like Miyota and Seiko are reputable manufacturers that can definitely increase the life of your watch. These watch movements tick very accurately, so they only need to be adjusted once every few months. In the price range up to 300 Euro you can find with a little luck even entry-level models with automatic movement.

Here, the choice should clearly fall on sapphire glass, because this is currently the best available glass and shines with individually strong properties. It is extremely robust, so scratches on the watch are almost impossible, and it is also more shatterproof than mineral glass, for example.
Second place goes to the hybrid version of hardened mineral glass and sapphire coating, which takes the disadvantages but also the advantages of mineral glass and sapphire glass in a weakened form.
Normal tempered mineral glass, which is often referred to as Hardlex glass by some manufacturers, follows in third place, and is considered to be tempered window glass. Special treatments with an oxide and some chemical processes, let the scratch susceptibility decrease and breakage resistance increase. But despite these processes, it does not come close to the stability of sapphire glass.
Acrylic and plexiglass are in last place. They are cheap in production, which is also reflected in the price of such a watch model, here one already makes strong compromises, which are noticeable in haptics, scratch resistance as well as value.

If you have a watch with a leather strap in mind, you should pay attention to the workmanship of the seams. The frequently used areas should have a double seam so that the bracelet lasts a long time and does not wear out so quickly. With metal bracelets, the finish matters, it would be extremely annoying to see silver metal flecks shining through shortly after buying a black mesh bracelet. You can also find out more about the different types of tape here.

For water resistance, the higher the rating of the watch model, the more resistant the watch is to water. 1 ATM corresponds to 1 bar. A small table illustrates the ATM/bar data:

In my whoiswho of the compared watch models, I have primarily taken well-known suppliers of lifestyle watches to the chest, so the models with their individual features briefly picked out and described. Finally, you can also see my TOP-3.

In this article, I have given priority to lovers of slim watches with quartz movements. Entry-level watches with automatic movements are of course also available in this price range. In contrast to quartz watches, which are quite slim, watches with automatic movements, however, have a higher construction height of at least 10 – 12 mm. If you are interested in automatic watches, I can refer you to our Bauhaus watches article.

Which price range is the right one for me for a trendy watch for men up to 300 Euro?

Depending on your monthly income, you may have more or less money left over for a stylish accessory like a Watch. One watch in the price range up to 300 euros is a sensible option, especially in the first job. However, please note that your outfit matches the watch, color combinations should not be too bright and a maximum of four harmonizing colors should beused .

Pay attention to the size of the watch and your wrist. 42 mm is a good case size that is suitable for most men. For very wide wrists, a case size of up to 48 mm is recommended. For some time now, the trend has been towards 42mm, after 40mm was the trend for years.

In the picture on the right you can see a very well coordinated outfit in which no more than 4 colors were combined. This looks noble and discreet at the same time.

Conclusion – Which hip men’s watch is the best in the range up to 300 euros?

As is so often the case, there is no clear answer to this question. The best men’s watch up to 300 euros is not clearly identifiable.

Depending on what features of the components you value, what style you prefer and how much you really want to spend will determine which model is best for you. The combination of a Swiss movement with sapphire crystal, high-quality leather or a mesh bracelet and a water resistance of at least 5 ATM result in a stable watch.

These are my TOP-3 men’s watches for under 300 euros in the test field

The following wristwatches are my favorites:

Our insider tip. The all-round minimalist: MNMA NIGHTRIDER

Even though I’m now positioning myself as an insider’s tip for my own watch, you should have the Nightrider on your docket if you like the design. All presented watches have a weak point somewhere, be it the unknown movement or (too) little water resistance or the built in glass. If I had the choice, I would (also because of my semi-optimal experiences) attach importance to which manufacturer I get a round package and because I like simple design without having to accept any compromises in terms of quality.

At MNMA, you get 5 bar water resistance, scratch resistant sapphire crystal & a Swiss movement with the Nightrider, which makes the decision easier.

1.titanium, titanium, titanium: BERING LORD ANALOG QUARZ WATCH WITH TITANIUM ARMBAND 11739-727*

Like the MNMA, the Bering model has no discernible weaknesses and shines with good design, sapphire crystal and titanium as the preferred case material. Recommendation

2. scratch-resistant air icus:
NORDGREEN PIONEER 14011*

The combination of the beautiful design and high-quality components secures the Nordgreen Pioneer 2nd place. The environmentally friendly production is reflected in the clean design as well as the red pointer tips, which are supposed to remind of wind turbines. Among other things, the installed sapphire crystal leads to a weight of only 54 grams.

3. the styler:
PAUL HEWITT – GRAND ATLANTIC LINE BLACK SEA*

Silver is always in fashion, and so are anchors. Combine the trendy silver or black colors and it really becomes a stylish watch. Here, too, there is high-quality sapphire crystal and a water resistance of 5 bar.
