My personal opinion regarding a nice watch under $400 would be to go on Ebay and find a nice, used vintage watch. I am only suggesting this as for $400 you could buy some cheap trinket that no one will really think much of, as opposed to buying a nice vintage piece that people would definitely appreciate. No one is going to look twice or ask you about a Fossil (which are very nice watches, no disrespect) but something unique and vintage would stand out a bit more and get you better value for your money.
I'd recommend Suit Supply, they start at $400 - $500 and the quality there is superior to anything else you can get new for cheaper. This will be less expensive in the long run and almost every Analyst - Associate I know wears them. Just make sure to get it tailored elsewhere, as tailoring at SS can be expensive.
For watches, while vintage is super cool/interesting, if this is your first mechanical watch I wouldn't go the vintage route. There are often "hidden" costs and quirks and if you are new to watches it may become a headache fast. I'd recommend something from the following:
