Modestly priced dress watches

I'd like to hear thoughts/recommendations on modestly priced dress watches on leather, ideally relatively thin and light . . . along the lines of a Seiko Monster in price but with a dressier look.

I saw the thread on Citizen Eco-Drives and some of these look pretty interesting but I'm sure there are other options out there.

Thanks.

Check out the Seiko Mechanical selection. Especially the Classic models. There are a few there that are nice. I bought my father in-law a Standard model SARB038, but it's quite big and on a bracelet.

I really like the feel of the Seiko mechanicals. They have a good weight. As I said before, I bought one for my father in-law, but unfortunately it's too big and heavy for him So, I think I'll be going the Classic way next Christmas But that might be too tall too
