1. The best watches up to 500 euros: What makes them stand out?
High-quality watches are characterised by a combination of first-class materials, precise technology and attractive design. Functionality is a particular focus for many high-quality watches for men: chronographs, date displays and Bluetooth functions are popular. Elegant ladies' watches up to 500 euros often score points with their minimalist design and simple dial, usually in colours such as black, silver or dark blue.
The material also plays an important role. Stainless steel is particularly durable and scratch-resistant, while leather straps offer timeless style. Modern watches often combine these classic elements with innovative materials such as titanium, which is valued for its high stability and low weight. Resin, on the other hand, is a popular choice as it is lightweight, durable and available in many colours - ideal for sporty or trendy designs.
Dials are a central design element of wristwatches up to 500 euros. Clear, uncluttered designs in which simple markings or Roman numerals exude elegance are particularly popular. Models with large digits or illuminated displays also offer excellent legibility. A feature that is particularly appreciated in digital or sports watches. Another quality feature in this price range is the use of sapphire crystal. This material is extremely scratch-resistant and ensures that the dial remains easy to read even after years of use.
