Men's watches under 500 €: Quality you can see and feel
A watch under 500 € is more than just an accessory—it's a statement of sophistication and style. In this price range, you'll find watches that offer much more than just functionality. Here, high-quality materials meet clean workmanship and a design that deliberately stands out from the crowd. Whether you are looking for a simple model for everyday business use or a sporty, striking chronograph for every occasion, you don't have to compromise in this segment.
Which material for men's watches under 500 €?
In the under-500 € class, expectations rise – and so does the selection. 316L stainless steel cases are standard and offer a perfect combination of robustness, appearance, and durability. At MIYEN MUNICH, we consistently use 316L stainless steel because it has proven itself in everyday use – high-quality, reliable, and visually impressive.
Watch glass for men's watches under 500 €: sapphire crystal as a sign of quality
The watch glass not only influences the appearance, but also the everyday usability of a watch. In the price range below 500 €, mineral glass is still widely used – in some cases as a hardened version. However, if you place particular value on scratch resistance, you should specifically look for models with sapphire crystal. It is significantly more resistant, remains clear even after years of use, and effectively protects the dial from signs of wear. In this price range, sapphire crystal is not standard – but a real mark of quality. MIYEN MUNICH consistently uses scratch-resistant sapphire crystal – for everyone who wants to see the time clearly in the long term.
What additional functions do men's watches under 500 € offer?
Even under 500 €, many men's watches offer much more than just the display of hours and minutes. Chronographs – watches with an integrated stopwatch function – are widespread in this price range and particularly popular with sporty models. Date displays, tachymeter scales, and rotating bezels are also common features. Depending on the model, luminous hands, screw-down crowns, or even ceramic bezels are also possible—features that cannot be taken for granted in this price range, but can certainly be found. In short, if you invest up to 500 €, you get more than just solid design—you get noticeable benefits in everyday life.
Water resistance in men's watches under 500 €
In the price range below 500 €, water resistance is often more than just a nice extra. While simple models in lower segments are usually only protected against splashing water, here you can find watches with 10 ATM (100 m) or more – ideal for showering, swimming, or even snorkeling. Some models even offer 20 ATM (200 m) and are therefore suitable for sporting activities such as diving or sailing. MIYEN MUNICH ensures that all models are highly suitable for everyday use – that's why all men's watches are waterproof to at least 100 meters.
Movements in men's watches under 500 €: reliable, precise, low-maintenance
Watches under 500 € offer a solid selection of proven technology. Quartz movements are particularly popular – they are considered extremely precise, easy to maintain, and ideal for everyday use. Those who prefer mechanical watches will also find automatic watches in this price range, which are wound by movement and bring a touch of classic watchmaking artistry into play. Whether quartz or automatic: in this category, you get reliable technology that will work for years – without any frills and without constantly changing batteries.
