Hi, am looking to add an automatic, metal strap watch to my collection of watches. Budget is around £400, which I know is not a lot. I don't mind picking up a second hand one.

Any suggestions (other than casio/citizen) for a watch that has a decent power reserve? My wrist is small so looking at watches with less than 40mm dial width.

Thanks...

How about a Hamilton? Anything with the H10 movement like this would work https://www.hamiltonwatch.com/en-gb/h70455133-khak...

38mm on a bracelet. And 80 hours power reserve. Slightly over budget RRP, but should be available for less elsewhere. Also look at Tissot. They use the same movement but call it the Powermatic 80. Same 80 hour power reserve.

Christopher Ward (in one of their sales)?
Or speak nicely to me about my barely worn CW C8 Vintage flyer....

Thanks for the idea and a nice watch but I had a similar watch which I sold last year so looking for something different.
