Top 8 of each type under $1,000
Above $600 the point table stops rewarding the extra money: 80-hour power reserves and Swiss assembly add 11 points at most, while the price doubles. That is the trade-off this tier makes visible. Value Score is relative to each watch's own type, so compare scores within a type; spec points are absolute. Use the type buttons to narrow the table. The complete list of 85 models with filters is on the all-watches page.
