[Question] The battle of the sub 1000 chronographs, which one?

I am looking to purchase my first chronograph under 1000 (all of these land around the 500-700 mark.)
Which one should i pick and why? also would be great to know people’s second choice

Here’s what I’m thinking.

  1. ⁠The pogue speed timer. Looks pretty great and has a rich history, being worn in space by William Pogue as opposed to his speedmaster issued. Reliable quartz solar too and who doesn’t love a Seiko.
  2. ⁠Studio underdog panda. Stunning dial details and movement on display. Unsure on reliability of movement and if servicing would be costly, would be great to know.
  3. ⁠Studio underdog watermelon. Which colour underdog?
  4. ⁠Seiko speedtimer panda. Which colour speedtimer?
  5. ⁠Citizen eco drive. Haven’t really read up on this model but looks cool and thought I would include.

[Question] Are there any Sub 500 gems anyone would recommend to add to my current collection?

Currently I have this trio of watches which I am definitely enjoying.

Seiko 5 sports SRPD51K1- a great everyday versatile watch. I love its automatic movement and it is my first automatic, sucker for a bezel too.

Casio Duro - Good fun as you can rotate straps pretty easily and I have modded a blue sapphire crystal on (old crystal had warped from heat) Certainly a “gateway drug” into the world of watches.

Casioak- Just one of the GOATs, BT and Solar make this especially functional and it can withstand anything! Great everyday.

Looking to add another sub 500 quid watch, at the moment I have been looking at chronographs and the formidable ‘Arnie’ Seiko. Open to all recommendations!
