Respectable is a relative term. If you are looking to impress people, that will depend on the circles you run in. In many circles, a Rolex Daytona is as humdrum as a Timex digital while in others it is the stuff of dreams. There are so many strata of watch out there it is hard to answer this question.
I would suggest you find something you like. Figure out what suits your needs. I wanted an attractive watch that could take a daily thrashing and keep perfect time every day. After looking at a number of watches at varying price points, I ended up with a Citizen atomic model. It looks great, has a sapphire crystal, keeps absolutely perfect time down to the second, and is both durable and reliable. However, it will never impress anyone or make anyone think I am a member of the 1%.
If I want to impress them, I will have to rely on my personality. :-)
Good luck on your search. I hope you find something that makes you happy or perhaps start a lifelong collector hobby that makes you happy (but hopefully not broke lol).
