You wear watch everyday, and it tells people about your taste and parts of your personality. That’s why everyone is very picky when choosing a watch, which is especially true for men. If you have your favorite brand in mind, you should go straight online and buy one from a trustworthy store. Most of these online stores offer free shipiing and free return, so there is no need to worry if it turns out that you don’t like it. If you are not sure what to buy, go to a jewelry store – any one in your shopping mall, and try them on. Even if saleman tell you how good the deal is, don’t buy it from stores. Go online and compare prices online, it should save you at least 50% when you shop online!

Casio Men’s SGW100B-3V, only $45.36 at Amazon. This is so far the best watch I bought for my 10 year old boy. He always loved a digial watch. We have bought a few from Walmart with prices from $8.99 to $14.99. But none of them can last more than 6 months. One was left in my swimming pool for a few days, one was broken when he fell off his bicycle. I finally decided to get him a better one. This Casio SGW100B-3V is a men’s watch, but it fits OK on my boy. The best part is that it comes with a compass and a therometer, which is kinda of like a toy to him.
The above one is a Casio Men’s AWG100-1A G-Shock Multi-Band Solar Atomic Analog Watch, sold at Amazon for $130! It is the best rated Casio watch I have seen at Amazon. Why? First of all, it is a G-shock. Second, it is a solar watch – no batteries needed forever! Thir, and more importantly, it is an atomic watch, which means it can receive time calibration radio signals (from US, UK, Germany, Japan) to keep the time accurate. If you need to travel to China, you’d better get a Casio GW3000B Serie watch which allows to sync time in China in addition to US, UK, Germany and Japan.
Fashion Watches
If you are looking for something different, visit Stauer.com and see their self-branded watches for under $200. The above antique look automatic watch has 27 jewels built-in, and it is only $149! Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if the price is tagged as $999, or even $1999. There arn’t too many choices at Stauer, but every one is a master piece and can’t be found at any other store.
Casual Watches
There is no solid line between a dress watch and a casual watch. Call it a dress watch when you dress formal or a casual watch on casual dress Friday. Shop around to get a good price.

Luxury Watches
Luxury dress watch is every man’s dream, even though one may not admit it. Please don’t get a Rolex, it looks cheap on you, although the price is not cheap. There are hundreds of them to choose from at Ashford.com, the rich guys’ favorite place to shop for luxury dress watches – not the place for me though. Brands include Bulgary, Zenith, Corum, Armand Nicolet, Breitling, and many more, with prices range from $1000 to $30,000. Check out the above Corum watch, now $5720, instead of $11,000 at Zales. Perfect as an aniversery gift, isn’t it? Bluenile.com is another place for luxury pieces. If you can find one in their clearance, you definitely found yourself a good deal.
