Just to throw my two cents in... I would also add Tissot in that range if you buy online (not in stores). Tissot is Swiss made and is one of the entry level luxury watches in the Swiss made realm (they are owned by the Swatch Group).
BUT I will add... WHAT kind of watch are you looking for? A quartz or an automatic? If you want to start collecting.. you'll eventually need to cross that line from a quartz to a mechanical. In that range, Seiko makes a pretty affordable and realiable automatic. I would highly suggest checking out Orient watches as well. These are Japanese automatic watches, which are a huge bang for your buck.
For quartz... the Citizen Eco-Drive series. Such a solid quartz in that range and one of the best quartz systems on the market.
Research and dig through the forums at Watchuseek.com. I search there regularly but am no where near the expertise of those forum members. You will also definitely get the best deals online in the "grey market" as it's referred to (aka Amazon, Jomashop, etc..)

I am wanting to start collecting watches. Is this smart?

I like watches and would like to start buying expensive ones to collect. Will I be able to sell these in the future or are old luxury watches not in demand? I guess I just want to know if they will be worth anything later on. (Rolex and other name brands)
Answer
For collectors like myself, there is always demand. It is a fascinating and very addicting hobby. Do not limit yourself. In addition to high end brands, there are some inexpensive, custom, and limited edition pieces available.
There are some excellent resources and watch forums available online.
