Featuring a Japanese quartz three-hand movement, a 40mm solid stainless steel case, and a comfortable mesh strap, Braun’s Classic design is timeless. It can even be worn for short bouts of swimming: It’s waterproof up to 165 feet deep.

Komono’s Japanese quartz-fueled option makes for a great statement piece. Because it’s shock-resistant, it’s designed to be durable.

Bring a pop of color to your wrist game with this olive green watch. The nylon strap is adjustable and designed to fit up to an eight-inch wrist circumference. That’s not the only thoughtful feature: The watch also includes 24-hour military time, should you ever need the conversion.

You can’t go wrong with a basic Swatch. The hidden perks: The brand offers free battery exchanges at all its retail locations, and every watch comes with a two-year international warranty. It even ships in recycled packaging, as the cherry on top.

Go battery-free with an automatic mechanical watch. Seiko’s customer-favorite version is made using scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal and a blue fabric strap that’ll dress up any look (yes, even your faded wash tee).

Wear it with your favorite structured suit or with a breezy button down for a casual dinner; either way, Kenneth Cole’s stainless steel watch is a versatile find you’ll get tons of mileage out of. The push-button deployment clasp makes it a cinch to take on and off—no more fumbling with tricky closures.

If you’re not afraid of a little color, might we suggest this tomato red watch? It’s also available in 14 other shades, like lime green and bright blue, and has a surprisingly sturdy silicone strap. Inspired by Copenhagen’s vividly colored townhouses, this piece is a great way to liven up any outfit.

Like all the best Timex watches, this leather strap watch is simple and streamlined. It has a gold-tone 38 mm brass case with mineral glass crystal, which, set against the darker band, gives it some cool contrast. No wonder it has over 4,300 5-star reviews on Amazon: “I have now had this watch over two years,” writes one customer. “I love the watch—for the price, it is a triumph! It is unobtrusive-looking and, although casual, blends okay with a suit.”

Definitely the cheapest Amazon watch on our list, Casio’s black resin timepiece looks anything but. It boasts a two-year battery life for low-maintenance upkeep; plus, despite its smaller size, it’s designed with large numbers so you won’t have to squint to see if you’re making it to your meeting on time.

This L.A-designed piece is as laid back as its hometown: Featuring a no-frills 45mm dial and a caramel-colored leather strap, it’s the perfect purchase if you’re on the hunt for a functional accessory instead of a flashy statement item. The strap is interchangeable with other MVMT bands, and it has a two-year guarantee.

Swear by minimalist style? Brigada’s clean design is offset by a pared-back navy blue strap that’ll serve as a polished finishing touch for your outfit. The tempered glass face prevents scuffing and ensures your watch will still look new months (or years) down the line.

This elegant piece looks like it was dug up at some fancy antique market—when in reality, it’s under $35 and eligible for Prime shipping.

On the other end of the spectrum, Skagen’s black and silver watch is the epitome of minimalist Scandinavian design. The soft leather band is crafted for comfort, while a date window at the 6 o’clock mark means you won’t have to whip out your phone every time you need to check your calendar.

“If you’re looking for a thin and lightweight watch for very little money, I don’t think this one can be beat,” writes one reviewer, who notes they’ve had the watch for two months without any signs of it slowing down. The rectangular face is a little unusual, but if you like slick lines and a contemporary feel, it could well be your new go-to accessory.  

Thanks to its black resin band and stainless steel case, Casio’s analog watch might not look like a breezy beach accessory, but it has a secret skill: This durable watch is water-resistant up to 660 feet deep, which makes it more waterproof than most watches.

With thinner, more modern lettering than other Timex watches, this watch goes with everything and is easy to read. It’s also water-resistant up to 30 meters, relatively scratch-resistant, and has an Indiglo background so you can tell time in the dark.

From its clean, uncluttered design to its 20mm polyurethane band designed for comfort (it won’t chafe against your skin), this bulky watch is super stylish. According to reviewers, it’s also mercifully quiet: “For those of my fellow automatic wearers who worry about the loud tick of a quartz second hand—this second hand makes almost no noise,” writes one fan who liked Nixon’s design so much he bought it in multiple colors.

It’s on the higher end of our price spectrum, but Fossil’s stainless steel watch is worth the (relative) splurge: It comes with chronograph functionality, meaning you can use it as an accurate stopwatch as well as a regular timepiece.

If you’re looking for a cheap watch you won’t have to take off to work out, go with this Lacoste pick. It’s a simple option with a rubber band that’s easy to clean and sweat-resistant. Don’t worry about scratching the face, either: It’s made from a durable mineral crystal and can easily withstand a few scuffs.

The watch equivalent of a Hans Wegner chair, this minimalist-meets-mid-century design is another great Scandinavian style option from Skagen. It comes with a 40mm stainless steel case, three-hand analog display, and a chic leather band. The tiny blue and orange accents make it stand out just enough.

Between the antique brass face and the textured black leather strap, this rectangular wristwatch is ideal for vintage lovers. (It also happens to be a way more affordable dupe of Cartier’s Tank watch.) Peugeot is offering free lifetime battery replacement with each purchase, so you’ll never have to worry about upkeep.

This smaller watch has all the bells and whistles: a polished silver hue for everyday wear, a date window, a light-up dial, water resistance (up to 99 feet), and an expansion band—the latter of which makes it super adjustable, so you can keep it around even if your wrist size changes.
