Since I'm not into luxury watches, a common occurrence is:
Me to a stranger: "Wow, cool watch! Which one is it?"
Stranger: "Random cheap brand I found on Amazon."
If you've never heard of Omega, Rolex, etc, chances are you won't be able to distinguish a cheap watch from an expensive watch. It's just the brand.
(OK, OK, chances are the material is a lot better - scratchproof, etc - but probably still costs less than 10% to make than what they sell for).
Here's the thing: Ever since I was a kid, the following features were basic:
1. Tells time
2. Tells date
3. Stopwatch
4. Alarm
5. Chrono (yes, I used that a lot for years).
All this for $50 or less.
I'm assuming the >$100 watches have all this? If not, IMO, the watch is simply failing at the very basics. It shouldn't even be called a watch.
Then Tier 2:
- Timer
- Multiple alarms
- World time
I pay extra for these (and use all of them).
The next tier (Tier 3):
- No batteries and/or solar. Definitely no manual winding.
The next tier:
- Stuff like GPS, sunrise/sunset, etc.
Personally, only after Tier 3 would I consider paying extra for all the things you mentioned. But paying $300+ for a watch without a timer or world time? You've been scammed.
How much have you paid for a pen? Montblanc ball point pens can exceed $1000. Apply everything you said to a (ballpoint) pen - one that most likely will write poorer than a good $50 fountain pen - and you'll see how people view what you are saying.
