#11 Man's "must have" Watches

Dress and Casual watches

Beautiful Affordable Wrist Wear
Men's Watches For Under $300
With these many beautiful and reasonable price watches, there's no reason to ruin your outfits with an inappropriate watch.
Even the best-dressed men can get tripped up when it comes to buying the right watch. Men's watches are complex, can be expensive and there are a lot of them out there. So just what should you know when shopping for one? Well, you can start by looking at your wardrobe and your budget, and asking yourself a few questions.


Silver watches match best with blacks, grays, silvers, and blues, and ideally, you should wear them at night. Gold watches go with browns, beiges, tans, and other earth tones. They are best worn during the day.

General Questions:
When will you be wearing it?
What will you use it for -- work, going out, lounging around, playing sports?
How do you feel about high-tech gadget watches?
How much money do you want to spend?

The Capital by Nixon
Cost: $160-270
Sleek and smooth in stainless steel, this is your best friend on a Saturday night. You’ll get attention without being mistaken for a snob and she’ll know you have better things to do with your time and money than splurge on overpriced accessories for men.


Tissot Sport V8 Chronograph
Cost: $325
Weighing in at a full two pounds, the V8 is a serious contender to the throne Omega has built over the years in the hefty watch category -- which is why it makes this list even though it retails for $325. But don’t despair: With a little hunting, you’ll find one under our price cap here and you might even get it with free shipping.


Kenneth Cole KC1256
Cost: $150
Incredibly similar in style to the Tag Heuer Monaco made famous by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans, this Kenneth Cole chronograph should never be thought of as merely a dressed-up sports watch. It’s all business in polished stainless steel with a silver-tone face that trumps the ‘70s splash of blue and red on the Monaco’s face.


Swiss Army Cavalry
Cost: $195
A true modern classic: Well-made, easy to read and sublime in its simplicity. The thin case means it won’t push or pull against your shirt cuff and the saddle-stirrup shape of the buckle is a nice detail in such an affordable watch. Pair it with a checked shirt and a worn-in pair of jeans to achieve that weekend look any day of the week.


Sports Watch
Sports watches are very sleek, very durable and made from high-quality plastic composites. The most common sports watch is the classic water-resistant diving watch. Two good brands to look at are Nike and Timex. Both companies produce diverse, feature-laden lines that are relatively affordable and quite durable.
