Clock’s ticking, folks: Hope springs eternal, but these deals vanish by day’s end.

Timex Marlin Hand-Wound Watch

Timex

Marlin Hand-Wound 34mm Brown Leather Strap Watch

Here’s a sneaky tidbit of intel for you: according to Amazon’s janky pricing algorithm, the GQ-favorite Marlin isn’t on sale. But it is—just cross-reference the price on Timex’s own website, which is a good $30 more than the one currently listed on the ‘Zon. (We’d call it our little secret, but we blew the whistle on this particular bargain earlier in the week.) Either way, it’s hard to imagine finding a quintessential icon of ’60s-era design at a better price.

Casio Duro Diver Watch

Oh, sorry, were you under the impression that a pitch-perfect dive watch as pretty as this would cost you at least one limb? Au contraire, our fellow light-of-pocket watch buff—Casio’s $50 riff might actually save you in a pinch. Sure, the hypnotic ocean-blue face steals the scene here, but don’t sleep on the cutesy dolphin emblem by the six o’clock mark. Being wrong has never felt so right.

Garmin Vivoactive 5 Watch

So you’re not an Apple guy but still keep a scrupulous eye on your step count—kudos, and no sweat. Garmin’s Vivoactive 5 is a small-but-mighty fitness tracker that boasts all the next-gen capabilities you’ve come to expect, minus the cumbersome heft of the brand’s running watches.

Citizen Corso Eco-Drive Watch

Citizen

Corso Eco-Drive Watch

Whoever told you, way back when, that solar-powered watches were corny, clearly never got ahold of Citizen’s legendary Eco-Drive, a chronograph that uses the power of the sun to power up your fits. Sure, it happens to be 15% less than usual on the ‘Zon, but trust us: it looks (and works) even better on your wrist, soaking up the rays.

Timex Weekender Analog Dial Watch

Timex

Weekender Analog Dial Watch

Timex’s aptly-named Weekender watch is a triumph of rugged minimalism, the type of ticker that looks just as home poking out from beneath a fraying denim jacket as it does accenting a textured linen suit. Handsome nylon strap, retro French-vanilla face, clean lines throughout? Now that, friends, is one hell of a way to spend your weekend.

Citizen Garrison Super Titanium Watch

Citizen

Garrison Super Titanium Watch

By our calculations, if a titanium watch is good, then a Super Titanium watch ought to be several orders of magnitude better. However the math works out, it’s hard to argue with the no-nonsense looks and ethereal lightness of this one, to say nothing of the deeply discounted price.

Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Watch

Timex

Expedition Scout 40mm Watch

Timex’s small-but-mighty Expedition Scout watch likely needs little introduction if you’re especially good at tying knots or pitching camp. But the bite-sized ticker’s true preserve might be on a regular ol’ grocery run, where it’ll elevate even your rattiest vintage tee and zip-off cargo pants. There’s beauty in simplicity after all, and this no-frills resin watch is the dictionary definition of simple.

Skagen Aren Watch

Scandi minimalism doesn’t just look good on credenzas and lounge chairs. This watch (along with most of Skagen’s Danish-inspired output) uses the same clean lines and simple shapes to create a design that punches far above its price.

Timex Waterbury Watch

Like anything else in your accessory wardrobe, it makes sense to match your watch to the occasion, whether that’s a black-tie gala or a day at the beach. With the rugged steel case and big legible numerals of a sports watch along with the refinement and clean lines of a dressier piece, this Timex will look at home pretty much anywhere.

Casio LA2OWH Watch

When it comes to delivering the absolute most watch for the very least amount of money, no one can touch Casio, whose long-standing dominance in the budget watch bracket is the stuff of legend. This one makes a quintessential addition to the lineup thanks to its G-Shock-adjacent looks, slim proportions, and an all-in price under $20.

Seiko Sports SSK005 Watch

Seiko

5 Sports SSK005 Watch

The humble Seiko 5 Sports has comfortably held onto a top spot on pretty much every “best watches under $500 list” for years now. While it’s available in more flavors than Jelly Belly, this version stands out from the pack thanks to the addition of a GMT hand that can be set to display another time zone, making it a first-rate travel accessory, too.

Timex Marlin Chronograph Watch

Timex

Marlin Chronograph Watch

Alongside trucker jackets, tie-dye tees, and huaraches, motorsports watches were among the greatest style hits of the late 1960s. This one captures all of the essential features of the genre, from the racing green dial and rally strap to the stopwatch function and tachymeter bezel.

Seiko Essentials Watch

The difference between an affordable homage and a shameless dupe is often a matter of knowing it when you see it, and there are plenty of both to be found on a scroll through Amazon’s watch marketplace. In the case of this Tank-style Seiko, which is as handsome as it is affordable (even more so if you catch it on sale), we’re prepared to rule on the side of the former.

Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph Watch

Bulova

Lunar Pilot Chronograph Watch

One of the many highlights of Bulova’s 150-year history is its longstanding association with the space program, from the pre-NASA days through the Apollo era. Apollo 15 Astronaut Dave Scott wore a Bulova chronograph not unlike this one during his 1971 moonwalk, an association that gives the Lunar Pilot more than its share of street cred among the Cape Canaveral cognoscenti.

G-Shock DW9052 Watch

If you don’t already own a G-Shock, there are plenty of good reasons to get one, from iconic looks to apocalypse-proof ruggedness to a mind-bogglingly diverse array of colors and styles. If, however, you need one more reason, check out the price of this Y2K-era DW9052.

Orient Bambino Watch

Finding a nice watch for under $200 can be a challenge, especially if said watch needs to look good with a suit. Unless, of course, you’re familiar with Orient’s Bambino lineup, which combines the sleek looks of an archetypal dress watch with an automatic movement at a double-take-worthy price.

Seiko Presage Watch

A subtle-yet-sumptuous dial texture is the hallmark of many four-and five-figure watches (particularly those made by Seiko’s high-end cousin, Grand Seiko). This ticker, however, offers a similar vibe at a much more accessible price, with a dial that mimics the color and texture of paving stones in a Japanese garden.

Movado Museum Watch

For everyone who doesn’t have a Warhol or Lichtenstein on their wall (which is 99% of us), the Movado Museum Classic makes for a much more affordable alternative. Not only is its minimalist design on par with some of modern art’s greatest hits, an early version of this watch sits right alongside those legends in the MoMA’s permanent collection.

Apple Watch Series 10

There’s no shortage of reasons Cupertino’s inaugural foray into the watch space made its counterparts in Geneva real nervous, and the Series 10—Apple’s 2024 update to its smash-hit wearable—boasts all of them. There’s only one watch that helps you tap out a slapdash text, monitor your REM cycle, and clear out your inbox at the same time, and it’s on a pinch-me sale right now.
