No one can really make that decision for you but the best advice I can give is seek out any watch that you're considering spending money on and hold it in your hand. Product photos, specs, and reviews rarely do justice to the personal reaction you'll have to the piece itself. I've been disappointed by watches that looked perfect on paper and been surprised by pieces that I never would have considered from just looking at them.
What did it for me when I bought my Rolex (2016 Explorer I) was the how the quality of its finishing felt in my hand. It practically vanishes when it's on my wrist thanks to how comfortable and unobtrusive it is but the materials, fit, and finishing on it show undeniably where a lot of the money went.
