A Watch Should Cost You No More Than $221.25

Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch $221.25

I have never understood why anyone would want to spend $10,000, $5,000, or even $500
on a wristwatch.  Even if you’re making $500k a year, why blow all that money on something that tells time?

I’m a huge fan of wristwatches, and own four myself.  I feel weird when I don’t have one on.  But the most bang for your buck watch on the market is this one.

$221.25 is pretty steep for me, but if you’re looking for something that’ll last forever, this is where you’ll find that level of quality.  Classic styling, perfect face size, black leather band with white stitching that can be worn casually or formally… this thing has it all.

The face is a pale gray and the pics on Amazon don’t do it justice.  Blue accents are substantial but not obnoxious.  Razor sharp hands.  And it’s powered by light so you’ll never have to worry about batteries.

It might take some saving but it’ll be your go-to for all days that are important.
