Great advice coming

In Response To: Re: $300 to spend ()

There is great advice coming from all of you. I know that I am not in the Omega price range, but I do not want to throw my $300 away. I feel that there must be great watches out there for around $300 and all of you have given me a few more brands to compare. Tissot has been mentioned a few times. Are the major benefits (1) the saphire crystal, and (2) that the swiss are known to be good watch makers?
Thanks for your help...I am happy that I came here.

: think you can get good deals online.
