How to Choose an Automatic Watch Under Rs 50,000
By World of Watches •
At this budget you can buy a mechanical automatic from a Japanese or Swiss watchmaker. Look at the power reserve, the crystal and the servicing, and choose a design you will still enjoy in years.
What To Compare
- Power reserve: How long it runs when off the wrist. Longer is more convenient.
- Crystal: Sapphire resists scratches better than mineral.
- Case back: A see-through back shows the movement.
- Size and thickness: Check it sits well on your wrist and under a cuff.
Brands To Look At
Seiko is well known for automatics, Tissot offers Swiss automatics including the Powermatic 80 with a long power reserve, and Citizen has mechanical and automatic styles. Ask our team what is in the store.

Owning An Automatic
Wear it regularly to keep it wound, or use a winder if you rotate watches. Expect a few seconds of drift a day, which is normal. Servicing is needed every few years.
