5 Men's Watches under 300 dollars in 2020

The story of how the everyday wristwatch came into being is interesting. Did you know, for example, that the first models were invented in the 1800s? At that time, they were a woman’s accessory more than anything else. Men used pocket watches instead.

During World War I, soldiers needed a more convenient option. Imagine readying yourself to climb out of a trench, with a rifle at the ready. Pocket watches no longer cut the mustard for soldiers. This saw them fashioning a crude version of a wristwatch.

The soldiers took the trend home with them, and the rest is history. Since then, technology has improved substantially. Interestingly enough, though, the inner workings of many watches are similar to what they were then.

There are high-tech versions out there, but there are also many simpler models. You’d think that timepieces would go the way of the dodo. You’d be wrong. Even in the smartphone era, this “old-fashioned” tech has distinct advantages:

A long battery life: Can you imagine if your smartphone only had to be charged once every two years? That’s how long a good watch battery lasts.
It’s more discreet: Do you need to check the time discreetly? What’s easier – checking your wrist or getting your phone out?
It can aid productivity: A phone can also help you be more punctual. But every time you look at the screen, there’s a temptation to check your messages, emails, and so on.
The ideal men’s accessory: If you work in a conservative environment, you won’t get away with wearing a ton of jewelry. A timepiece, however, can slip under the radar. It’s a classy way to complete your outfit.
Versatile: If you choose a simple design, you can wear your timepiece with any outfit.
It makes a good family heirloom: Imagine if you keep the phone you’re using now for your son when they grow up. Would they appreciate the outdated piece of tech? Timepieces are a different story, as long as you stick to a timeless design.
A good investment: Here, we don’t mean that they appreciate in value. Only that if you stick to a basic model, you’ll be able to use it for years to come. Fashion models look good for a couple of seasons at the most.

Our Designs

The Pioneer

Okay, we’re cheating a little here. The Pioneer costs a bit over $300. But we’re so proud of it that we had to include it. We’ve taken the chronograph and given it a style upgrade. You have the basic stopwatch and second counter in a more contemporary style.

Dial Sizes

This is a big and beautiful 42mm. Any less would look too cramped, so we don’t offer smaller sizes.
