Watches For Under $300

While big names like Rolex and Omega dominate the daydreams of corporate executives, a wide selection of styles and brands flourish in the under-$300 category.

This offers you the ability to own several watches instead of having to save for one mega-watch. You don’t own just one pair of shoes, so you might as well get hip to the notion that a well-chosen collection of modestly priced watches can complement your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

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.

Swatch G-Ring Cost: $140
Swatch has come a long way from its '80s plastic models and has evolved to include this slick number. With a 45.60 mm dial and three large sub-dials, the G-Ring announces its hefty presence quietly but confidently. This may be the watch you grab for those last-minute getaways because it simply works with every piece of clothing you’ll ever own.

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.
