Having an attractive timepiece is an essential part of the modern professional's style.
A nice watch is functional and gives a certain air of importance to the wearer. It's a public statement to the universe that time is valuable to you, that you might have places to be.
Sometimes the barrier of entry into the world of watches can seem high; with well-known brands like Rolex and Breitling receiving the lion's share of attention, it can be easy to believe that finding a quality watch at an affordable price is an impossible task.
Thankfully, there are tons of affordable options for those looking for something simple and functional. Sites like Amazon, Jomashop, and Huckberry make it easy to find something that works for you and your budget.
For anyone thinking about picking up a new timepiece, we put together a list of some of our current favorite options available for less than $100. Have a look:
MVMT
MVMT is one of our favorite new watch brands. The startup is only a few years old but has already sold over 500,000 timepieces. They keep prices affordable by selling directly to consumers and cutting out middlemen. Their gunmetal chrono is currently the watch I wear to work every day.
Their entire catalog is affordable, so browse around if you're comfortable going a little over $100, but this black and white option gives a simple look of elegance to your wrist.
MVMT Classic White/Black Leather, $95, available at MVMT
