I am going to have to disagree on that. There are a few companies that have done real innovations on quartz that seperate them from masses. JLC, Rolex and IWC have all have quartz movements that a well beyond anything in a $50 watch. The finishing and stepping of movement is well advanced in comparasion.

Oris watches are a good deal. I put them in the league of watches like Mido, Certina, Bell & Ross, and Sinn. The each offer value and something unique looking as well.

I would really look at Mido and Certina out of the group. Sinn is awesome if you like aviation watches and don't mind made in Germany.
