Christmas is an expensive time of year, and when it comes to buying presents, we need to set a strict limit so we don’t leave ourselves short. ‘Stocking filler’ and ‘watch’ may not be two words you have ever considered pairing in the same sentence before – but there is a huge range of watches available on TIME² today that are affordable for all budgets.
These days, affordable doesn’t mean low quality - so check out my top 5 mens' watches for under £100!
GUESS ROUND BLACK DIAL STEEL CASE MENS' FASHION CHRONOGRAPH WATCH
This watch is a great choice for young professionals or those men who prefer a smart and refined look. The classic black colour and muted design means that it is perfect for day to day wear for work. It would look effortlessly elegant when teamed with a suit and is versatile enough to be worn with more casual wear after work - allowing it to be taken from day right through to night.
This is a timeless watch that will never go out of style, and features a smart black crocodile patterned leather strap that is fastened to a round silver face. The black dial features silver accents for the hands and sub dials - creating a great contrast that is bound to get you noticed subtly. A snip at just £95!
LACOSTE UNISEX GOA WATCH 2010567
This Lacoste watch is a fashionable choice that allows the wearer to utilise it in many different outfits. The monochrome colour palette is a real eye catcher, creating a perfect contrast between the patterned rubber strap and the bold statement face.
Lacoste have recently been pushing the notion of ‘Unconventional Chic’, and this timepiece adheres perfectly to this concept. On first look you might think it is too bold to be worn with more formal attire, but an eye catching watch like this is one of those accessories that will set you apart from the crowd. This is a watch for a young and fashionable male who wants to make an impression – whether he is dressed to the nines for a night out or casually shopping at the weekend.
The watch face has been kept simple but it incorporates the iconic Lacoste alligator logo through clever use of stripes and contrast. A bold red second hand is the only other colour to be incorporated into the design, but again shows some flair and individuality. Yours for only £60!
GUESS MENS WATCH WHITE DIAL BROWN STRAP W70023G2
This rectangular faced watch by Guess is another example of a timepiece that is perfect for the sophisticated gentleman. This classic style has been kept simple and elegant with a mix of both traditional numerals and subtle markings. The brown crocodile patterned leather strap oozes class, whilst at the same time showing some personality when compared to your traditional black leather straps.
This brown leather dress watch would look great when paired with the majority of items and colours that are already in their existing wardrobe. A navy suit or blazer is the perfect accompaniment, and when paired with brown brogues it would really complete the look.
At just £85, we haven’t seen another on the market that can compete at this price.
BEN SHERMAN SILVER CHRONOGRAPH MENS WATCH R802.00BS
With British heritage playing a part within every major menswear trend of the moment, Ben Sherman is an English brand with a decorated history and true fashion pedigree. Luckily for us, they have managed to transfer this iconic essence of the well dressed English gentleman into their latest watch collection – with my favourite timepiece coming in the form of this silver chronograph.
A silver metal watch is a classic style that suits all men and provides instant versatility - allowing you to dress it up for the office or down for a relaxing weekend. This Ben Sherman watch is no different. The watch shape follows a traditional design, with the majority of the features being constructed in silver and just small detailing such as the second hand and sub-dial hands being black. Key features that set this design apart from more traditional steel watches include the luminous hands and its textured dial.
At £65, it makes this a steal and a watch that guaranteed to repay itself with continuous daily use.
FOSSIL DECKER SPORTS MENS WATCH CH2687
Finally, we have a watch for the guys who like the outdoor lifestyle or have an outdoors type dress sense. The design of this Fossil watch is very much military inspired – from the hard and masculine features, to the rugged Earthy colour palette of tan, black and khaki green.
The face of the watch features many different elements such as; a date window, sub dials and a tachymeter around the outside of the face - just adding to the whole outdoors and military undertones running throughout the timepiece.
Pair with other military inspired pieces such as pea coats, crisp shirts, hard wearing boots and Earth tones, to really make the most of this statement watch. At £99 it is right at the top end of our budget, but it really is a quality watch that is sure to please this Christmas.
