Timex completely overhauled the Standard line with a retro inspired look that puts the finishing touch on any fit. Not only does this watch look great, but it is water resistant and features Timex’s Indiglo, in which the face lights up when you press down on the crown.
You just won’t find a true diver (re: a screw down crow, rotating bezel, and luminous hands) for cheaper than this. Trust us, we’ve looked. Casio managed to build a good looking watch that is water resistant up to 200m for less than the price of most T-shirts. Sure, it has a rubber strap, but you can easily swap out a nato strap to complete the vintage look.
Lean in to the current blacked-out watch trend with this matte black Swatch. The 41 mm case features just enough white detailing to display the time, day, and date. A masterclass in minimalist style.

Caravelle is a long since discontinued sub-brand of Bulova. This limited edition re-issue represents the same affordable quality that the original brand stood for. It is a vintage inspired dive watch that can pull double duty with “business casual” or “on vacation.”
Back in the 1990’s, Timex partnered with the Iron Man competition to create the original high performance sport watch. Triathlon and hobby athletes alike swear by this legendary collaboration, still going strong with the T2000.
Drawing design inspiration from classic dive watches like Omega and Rolex, the Fossil Blue is a far more affordable alternative. Sure, it can’t handle deep sea SCUBA diving, but who is really using their high end divers for the intended purpose anyway?

You could call this the original smart watch. Despite not updating since the Regan administration, it still has more features than any automatic watch could ever have. Plus, you won’t have to worry about emails and text messages pestering your wrist.

What doesn’t Amazon Essentials make? The Easy to Read watch comes with the same reliable performance in a sleek, no frills package that we’ve come to expect from the retail titan’s in-house brand.
Originally designed as an affordable wristwatch for nurses, doctors, and other medical professions, Speidel offers functional style regardless of your profession. The Eco Color Pop line comes in nine different colors but we’re partial to the navy for everyday styling.
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.
“This is a beautiful watch, very pleasing on the eyes, [and] the thinnest watch I’ve ever owned,” writes one of the 5,700+ customers who gave this sleek piece a glowing 5-star review. “It tucks easily under my sleeve.” Read: It’s a great buy if all you want is something unfussy that won’t make you feel like you’re wearing a bulky accessory.
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. And it comes with chronograph functionality, meaning you can use it as an accurate stopwatch as well as a regular dressy timepiece.
“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. If you like slick lines and a contemporary feel, it could well be your new go-to accessory.
