Affordable Treats
If you're a mere mortal with a penchant for arriving at your destination in style at
prescribed time (perhaps your job depends upon it), your idea of a good watch probably resides in
$100-500 range, and maybe even toward
lower end of that scale. You know
names Seiko, Swiss Army, Pulsar, and Citizen—just to name a few. The brands available in this price range offer a wide selection of choices ranging from simple and elegant leather bands, to mesh and link bands. You'll find analog and digital displays, timers, calendar displays, water-resistance, etc. in this price range. In fact, this price range offers
widest variety in terms of elegance, precision time keeping, and fashion choices. You can select from a number of watches using Swiss-quartz movements in this price range.
For
Fun of it
You'll find everything from designer-of-the-moment watches to household names such as Swatch and Fossil in
below-$100 range. The Fossil collections feature casual and dress watches in a dizzying array of choices, and provide dependable service as well. Fossil offers a lot of bang for
buck—fashion, dependability, variety.
Starting at $40, Swatch offers
most in up-to-the-minute throwaway watch fashion. The company began late in
20th century as a consortium of Swiss watchmakers and worldwide graphical designers with one goal: to resurrect
analog watch. Swatch has come a long way since those days, and one of their newer creations,
Skin Diamond watch, can set you back a cool $2000. Of course, you won't run into yourself coming and going if you sport this new status symbol. The rest of us can settle with wearing our moods on our wrists.
And, last but certainly not least—depending on your current age—this category satisfies
Abercrombie-and-Fitch, Top 40 crowd with an assortment of watches from
king of
teen designers, Tommy Hilfiger himself.

watches of our choice right here—online.
