Look of the Week: Modern Men's Watches for Under $300

 

A man's watch is, first and foremost, a tool. Whether used to count down the minutes to happy hour or to time your next bike ride, this tool takes on many forms. Thus, a man's watch is, secondly, an accessory -- one that should make a subtle-yet-strong statement.
So… Digital? Roman numerals? Mechanical? Leather? Sportsy? Slim? Watches can be extremely complex (and extremely expensive), but ultimately, they should be should be two things -- functional and fun. Keep this in mind as you look for a new watch, or look to gift one this holiday season.
Also note, you don't have to spend a forturne on a great timepiece. In fact, we've selected nine great watches in all shapes, sizes and styles -- from boxy-retro to stealthy-minimal -- all priced at under $300. We even found an eco-friendly wooden watch (#9) and a charitable buy-one give-one design (#2) for you socially conscious watch wearers.

honestly I've got the Void watch myself and it does not look AT ALL like in that picture! Less wide, less massive. I think the picture has been modified from the site I bought it from (shopdescreateurs.com)
