Hate to break it to you, but $300 isn't exactly expensive when it comes to watches.

My three most expensive watches each retail for around 10 times your "$300" (new), and that's considered mid-high end in the world of watch enthusiasts. Of course, street prices are usually considerably lower than retail, and I did buy two of them in mint used condition which helped a lot.
For me personally, I've always really liked watches. I loved my Casio watches when I was a kid, and geeked out over fancy calculator ones and solar-powered watches. When I started working, I spent a year looking around for a nice watch, eventually spending around $200 on one, and wore it every day for three years.

Handbags, shoes. I'd say jewellery, but jewellery isn't necessarily functional in the same way.
