As the other person mentioned, Casio is solid (especially the digital stuff like the F91W), but if you're in the US/Western market Timex/Citizen/Seiko are also good. If you want a mechanical watch the Seiko 5 is a classic, and Ali has a lot of really good value for money "homages" by folks like Pagani Design for around $100-200. I think there's a subreddit for chinese (mech) watches if you're curious.
The generally accepted principle is that watch brands' watches are of a far higher quality than that of fashion brands (eg Diesel/Nike etc). Modern quartz movements are damn good, but cheap ones aren't easily repairable or generally even worth repairing if you get it from one of these fashion brands.
