Finishing a brutal project today and really want to treat myself to a $500ish watch. No waiting, I want instant gratification right after I hit send on the final deliverable. Kinda been eyeing a Tissot Heritage Vissodate, but those are hard to find in stores and have creeped up to $700 or so lately. Open to getting a versatile khaki watch, any recs?

I love all the people suggesting $2k watches when OP is looking to spend a quarter of that 😅

Where is frozen dinner guy to bump up budget to $5-10k to get a big boy watch when you need him?

It’s slightly above 500, but for a field watch I’d suggest the alpinist. Or if you’re open to dive watches, I think there are still some zelos makos available

I think the Zelos' take 3 weeks to arrive.

Update, I went to my shop and was going to get a Hamilton Jazzmaster. Then just for fun I look at the Tissot case telling myself there is no way they have the Heritage Vissodate, lone behold they have it (pretty tough watch to find in person), so that is what I got plus a different/more casual strap for it). Very happy about this buy!
Thanks everyone, great suggestions that I’ll definitely be queueing up for some next purchases!

Although I agree with M1, if you can get over that and want to buy from Hodinkee, check your AmEx card offers. The Platinum card has a $150 off $500 from Hodinkee that would bring this right to your $500 target!

Have you considered longines? Step up in price bracket but they have some seriously nice pieces at the 2k range

I could be convinced to creep to $700 on this impulse buy, but not more than that. I have my eyes on a Tudor later this year and have big life events ($$$) that I need to budget for. Maybe next year though

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.
