10 Watches to Buy for a Bargain

Huckberry

With so many different watches on the market (some smart, some traditional), choosing one can seem like a daunting task. This is especially true if you are on a budget or purchasing the accessory for someone else. The bottom line is, you don’t need to dish out thousands of dollars to find a quality piece and you shouldn’t settle if a cheaper product doesn’t have a feature you’re looking for. Why? Because an array of options means there will be something out there, regardless of what’s on someone’s checklist. You’ll just have to dig to find what you’re looking for. But don’t worry, we did this hard work for you.

The holidays and many, many deals are about to spring up, so we’ve rounded up a bunch of quality watches that won’t break the bank. (In fact, all retail for less than $300!)

Whether you (or your significant other, friend, cousin, etc.) are looking for a vintage-inspired timepiece, a super chic smartwatch or a luxury watch that doesn’t come with the luxury price tag, take a peek at a slew of innovative picks that’ll fit your criteria.
