10 Worthy Watches Under $100

Okay watch snobs… hit the bricks. We’re going to spend some time on timepieces that don’t require you to spend more than $100 to get. There’s an enormous population of men who don’t find it prudent to wear their rent (or more) on their wrists, yet still like the looks of wearing a watch, while also appreciating their real functionality.
Nothing is a sure bet, but what follows are those sub $100 watches that walk the line between looking good, and also being relatively dependable. Lotta quartz, lots of the same brands, but they shouln’t (shouldn’t) let you down in the all important keeping-of-the-time department.

Seiko SNK80 Automatic Series – $60ish

Shown here on an after-market leather strap. Comes on a canvas strap, but should be relatively easy to swap out if you choose. Takes 18mm bands, and is just 37mm in diameter. Not big. But that’s welcome for those with smaller wrists as well as those who prefer watches with a more traditional diameter (i.e. not oversized). Big fan of the hands and the red dipped seconds hand. Dependable Seiko 5 automatic movement. (Photo credit: Jasentaja)

Timex Waterbury Chrono Stainless or Ion Plated – $76.80 – $80*

If you like watches with a good solid feel and size, then these chronos will be right up your alley. One of the better looking releases Timex has come out with in a while. 42mm in diameter with a 22mm watch strap. A terrific, good sized watch to match the thicker fabrics and bigger textures of autumn. Full review here. *Use the code SCOOP20 to get the 20% off price that’s reflected above. (Meanwhile, it looks like they’ll soon be releasing a blue Waterbury Chrono, with white contrasting sub-dials? Someone get me one of those on a rally strap, stat.)

Daniel Wellington Glasgow – $97.50
