My first watch ever - Orient Mako Blue. Had it about 4 months now. Spent $20 out of pocket, had an amazon GC. Has a small scratch on the glass now, and the bracelet is pretty scratched up on the clasp. I’ve had it out camping in winter, played pond hockey with it on, rain, etc. Hasn’t missed a beat, and I actually don’t mind the scratches. Love the fact it’s an automatic. Love the watch. I browse watchuseek regularly. Probably looking to add a few more affordable watches to my collection sooner rather than later… however also saving up for a house.
