Tissot's Powermatic 80 models would be the first that come to mind. Although new, you're still looking at ~600-1.2k depending on the model (excluding the 18k gold line). You can get them for less if you go pre-owned or grey-market.
A mlre specifc budget would be helpful.
I'm selling one here, I think this price is a reasonable expectation for grey market for this model, though less if you're not looking for full kit.
I have heard of them, very nice
The newer Rolex Daytonas have 70+ hrs of power reserve. Nice watch too..!
Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80. Or any Hamilton with an H10 movement. Should be able to find either for around 500 USD.
Came here to say Hamilton H10 but got beat to it. Better looking designs IMHO than Powermatic 80s.
for entry level watches, likely something with a powermatic 80 or seiko 6r35
Go on Jomashop (grey market retailer, legit but customer service sucks). You can find some cool older Tissot’s for like $250 with powermatic 80.
Define “cheap.”
Possibly an unpopular answer but the Swatch Sistem 51 power reserve is extremely good. I think it lasts over 70 hours idle.
