So, caveat- taste varies and this is just my opinion...
Le Bois & Co. has some nice stuff. Good movements and nice design. They matched the numbers for me on two of their watches. Detail is very good for the price and the straps are well done.
Prometheus has cool dive watches. They are big, similar in size to my Avenger Seawolf. ETA movement, nice bracelet. Many variations and a rather unique limited run. 350atm rating, because I dive that deep.
Ventus has minimal price automatic watches. Seiko movements. Some very unique designs. They are big on the sandwich dial. I ended up getting all 3. The Black Kite is well done. Quality is good (for the price). The straps are really bad, however. That's easy to change.
There are a ton more. Check out Worn&Wound and ablogtowatch.
