Best Bang for the Buck

The band is too long for most men, difficult to adjust, and doesn't come with instructions to help with the task.

Stands out for the throw-back design that features digital readout with time, day, and date. Has an illuminating button and alarm. Feels lightweight to wear. Comes with detailed instructions.

Men's Easy Reader Day-Date Expansion Band Watch

Though water-resistant, you can't submerge it, and moisture exposure could cause the gold finish to fade over time. Some authenticity concerns and "lemons" have been noted.

Timex

A classic Timex watch that has stood the test of time. Though not fancy, the design is functional and durable, and has been a favorite by the brand for decades.
