Bottom Line

Surpasses others in its class when it comes to looks, functionality, and craftsmanship. The one to pick if you want a great-looking watch that's suitable for work and play.

Pros

Earns praise for its impressive looks thanks to the 18k gold ion-plated stainless steel that resists fading. Water-resistant up to 200 meters. Chronograph trio of subdials add to its handsome looks.

Cons

Feels somewhat heavy on the wrist. The band is long, likely requiring removal of some links to get a precise fit for most men. A few reports of quality control issues.

Bottom Line

An attractive watch with a few concerns but also some handy features made by a top brand in timepieces. If you like a vintage look and digital display, this one is for you.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Bottom Line

Though you may have some problems adjusting it to the perfect fit, once you do, chances are you will be impressed with this good-looking, budget-friendly watch.

Pros

Sports a classy look with black watch face that complements the gold-tone stainless-steel casing and band. Rated to resist moisture up to 30 meters. Looks more costly than the inexpensive price.

Cons

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

Timex
Men's Easy Reader Day-Date Expansion Band Watch
Check Price
Bottom Line

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.

Pros

A basic yet attractive watch that is easy to read and has a gold-tone stainless-steel expansion band that fits most men. Features Indiglo illumination; 30 meter water resistance.

Cons

The downside of the unique band is that it has the tendency to pinch on men with larger wrists. The day/date setting is handy, but much harder to set than previous generation models. No instructions.

Bottom Line

This is a gorgeous watch that earns high marks for looks but has more to offer in aesthetics than it does reliability.

Pros

Offers a clean, streamlined design with durable gold-tone stainless-steel workmanship. Versatile style can be worn by men or women and goes nicely with dressy attire. Resists water up to 100 meters.

Cons

Strap is difficult to adjust. Rare incidences of dead batteries upon delivery. Has been known to lose time. Finish scratches easily.
