Hi may I know are there any places where there is a wide range of watches to choose from, like casio, seiko etc. And it is cheaper than normal retailers are selling at. Thank you!!

Check the watch & jewelry section of large electronics retailers like Bic Camera :)

There are many branches, and all have a wide selection. Which area of Tokyo are you going to be in?

Throughout my whole 7days I will only be exploring tyoko. So as long as the shop is in tyoko it is fine to me

i don't recommend going to bic camera or yodobashi for watch shopping, you'll be ripped off
i recommend taking a walk through akihabara electric town and ameyoko in ueno.
for japanese brands those will be the best areas with the best prices.
if you want luxury brands, ginza, akihabara, shinjuku or shibuya will have them but they'll be at full retail price.

Go to Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara. They have millions of selections at reasonable prices.

"i don't recommend going to bic camera or yodobashi for watch shopping, you'll be ripped off"
This is total BS. In what way would they "rip you off"?

That hasn't been my experience. I shopped around quite a bit for my seiko watch, and eventually bought it at Akihabara Yodobashi Camera. They have a good selection and the price was a little bit cheaper there than anywhere else I looked (including around Akihabara and Kakaku), which usually isn't the case. It doesn't hurt to shop around, but I don't think you need to worry about being ripped off at the big chain stores. Just consider them the baseline, and try to find cheaper from there.
