I think 500- 1k is good respectable/affordable ranges for the watch (next step up is Tag Heuer for 1-3k) and Shinola is very good one.
All handmade in Detroit. Possible future collector's items.

That Cartier Tank is on my wish-list. I've been reducing my watch collection lately, but that one might find a way into my collection some day...

Detroit is very proud of Shinola so city even asked them to make street clocks.

Oris and Ball also make fantastic Swiss watches that start at less than a grand. Be careful though, an Oris F1 Williams started me on my voyage that led me to financial ruin!

If you're looking for less, Tissot and Seiko make excellent starter watches. Good luck and happy hunting!
