Real Swiss mechanical watches. Roughly 47% of this band is automatic or hand-wound, and about half is quartz. The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (40 mm, 100 m water resistance, 80-hour power reserve) starts at $950. The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical (38 mm, hand-wound) starts at $820. Mido's Ocean Star divers are rated to 200 m, and entry Longines such as the HydroConquest and La Grande Classique sit under $2,000.
Which brands are in this price range?
Tissot is the largest, with the PRX, Seastar, PR 100 and Le Locle. Hamilton follows with the Khaki Field, Khaki Aviation and Jazzmaster. Longines, Mido (Multifort, Ocean Star), Rado (Florence), Frederique Constant (Classics) and Gucci complete the range. If your budget stretches past $2,000, the next band adds Oris, many more Longines references and TAG Heuer.
Is a watch under $2,000 a good first watch?
Yes, if you choose the movement first. An automatic or hand-wound watch needs servicing every few years but has no battery to change, while a quartz watch costs less and keeps more precise time. Then choose the case size: under 36 mm suits smaller wrists and 38 to 40 mm suits most. Staff in any of our boutiques can put several on your wrist.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best watch under $2,000?+
It depends on how you will wear it, so here are the usual picks. For a daily automatic, the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 starts at $950. For a field watch, the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical starts at $820. For swimming, the Mido Ocean Star is rated to 200 m. For a dress watch, look at the Frederique Constant Classics or the Longines La Grande Classique.
Are watches under $2,000 automatic or quartz?+
Both. About 47% of the watches in this band are automatic or hand-wound, and about 51% are quartz. Automatics such as the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 and the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical usually cost more than quartz models from the same brand. Each product page lists the movement type, and you can filter the grid by movement.
Which dive watches are under $2,000?+
The Mido Ocean Star (200 m), the Tissot Seastar 1000 and the Hamilton Khaki Navy are the main divers here. A 200 m rating covers swimming and snorkelling, but check the water resistance on each product page, because many watches in this band are rated only to 50 or 100 m.
Do these watches come with the manufacturer warranty?+
Yes. La Maison Monaco is an authorized dealer, so each watch comes with the brand's own warranty, honoured by its service network in Canada. The length differs by brand and is stated on the warranty card, so check the card or ask in a boutique. Servicing goes through the brand's service network.
Can I finance a watch under $2,000?+
Yes. Flexiti financing is available on eligible purchases of $500 or more, subject to credit approval by Flexiti. Eligibility and terms are shown on each eligible product page and at checkout, and the full conditions are on our financing page. Discounted items are not eligible for Flexiti financing.
Is the watch I see in stock?+
A watch marked in stock is in one of our boutiques. A watch marked available to order is not on a shelf, but we order it from the brand and it is fully purchasable. Boutique availability varies by location, so ask the boutique nearest you to confirm before you visit.
