A sun dial works but only in the day and you can't carry it around easily with you everywhere, so a Seiko is not expense but gets the job done better.
And Levis make a bunch of different jeans. Some better than others. I have some that are slim and fit like a glove and I've been wearing them quite a while and they look awesome. Hell of a lot cheaper than $265.
And lucky and diesel are both name brand where you pay for the logo.
I'm not ragging on you though cause everyone is different. We all that that one item we splurge on. I think a watch that is $200 is cheap and I don't mind spending that much. I have an awesome diesel watch that I bought for $160. I feel like it was a steal but my wife thinks I overpaid by about $140. Lol.
I just hate the clothing industry though. I like nice looking clothes that have no labels. That way I can actually pay a fair price.
I get that... I guess my examples were a little extreme.

I can't get into watches. My wife would quite literally kill me. Jeans, pens and shoes are enough of a hobby without me trying to convince her of a watch.
