Quartz? If you are into watch, you should stay away from garbage quartz. Plenty of decent entry level automatic seiko within that price range.

I'm just a fan of the colour, and the brand Philipp Plein. I bought one 2 years ago and it's gone up in price.

Just looked at Phillip Plein and most of them look like rip off RM,PP. If you like the aesthetic, then go for it as it's all subjective. I personally don't see value in buying Quartz watches.

Most definitely not my style but to each their own. What's the brand and model of the watch? Only thing I would say is to steer clear of brands who do not specialize in watches e.g. Calvin Klein, Bulgari etc.

Nothing wrong with quartz watches. I own several Casio's which are some of my favorites for day-to-day, regular wear.

If it ain't a Trinity, a JLC or at least a Rolex, it ain't a watch worth spending more than $100 on. You have the time on your phone anyway

JK of course. I like the 2nd tier a lot.
That's the Omega, Tag Heuer, Tissot, Longines and Breitling category give or take. And a few other brands obviously.

100%, as I said it's personal. But you could get a nice Seiko Samurai with that price range and I know what I'd choose.

I have a mechanical Movado, but I wear it from a wedding to a funeral. I have been happy with me Seikos and Citizens for the past 30 years.

My current watch. I have had it for 6 or 7 years and it was cheaper than what the price is now. Works like a tank. Not a big fun of plastic watches, especially for that price.

Can’t say I’m a fan of the red, but if you can see yourself wearing it for many years to come, then go for it.
